81314138-Comprehensive Gender Responsive Business Approaches Services for SMEs in Jordan

Description du marché

The project consists of four work packages designed to integrate Gender-Responsive Business Approaches (GRBAs) into the business strategies of Jordanian SMEs. Work Package 1 (Inception Phase) establishes the foundation for implementation. The contractor will create a detailed work plan and host a workshop with key stakeholders - such as MoITS, JNCW, business associations, chambers, BSPs, and private sector stakeholder - to align on objectives for the collaboration. An inception report summarizing the work plan and feedback of the stakeholder engagement will be submitted. Work Package 2 (Assessment and Preparation) involves reviewing global best practices for GRBAs and tailoring them to Jordanian SMEs' needs. Additionally, two BSPs will be trained to provide expert GRBA advisory services to selected SMEs. This capacity building of BSPs will ensure they are equipped with the skills and tools to support SMEs during and beyond the project. The objective of Work Package 3 (Development and Implementation of GRBA Practices with SMEs) is to implement the GRBA strategies across 100 Jordanian SMEs with the support of the two trained BSPs. This phase emphasizes the selection and matching of SMEs with BSPs, the development of tailored GRBA strategies for each SME, and the structured implementation of these strategies, including leadership development, workplace policy enhancements, and innovation to create more inclusive workplaces. The contractor will mentor BSPs throughout the process to ensure effective implementation. Finally, Work Package 4 (Communication and Dissemination) aims to raise awareness and inspire wider adoption of GRBAs. Through a targeted campaign, case studies of successful GRBA implementations will be documented and shared via reports, workshops, and online platforms. Events will also be organized to disseminate lessons learned and showcase the project"s outcomes. The overarching aim is to encourage other businesses to adopt GRBA strategies. Together, these work packages provide a comprehensive roadmap for integrating GRBAs into Jordan"s SME ecosystem.
