Assignment Title HIRING A CONSULTANTY FOR INDEPENDENT MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The Government of Mozambique (GoM), through the National Youth Institute (INJ), an institution under the State Secretary for Youth and Employment (SEJE) with the support of the World Bank, is implementing the project “Harnessing the Demographic Dividend: Mozambique - Youth Development and Empowerment”, the objectives of which are: (i) to empower girls and families to make informed reproductive and economic decisions; (ii) to improve access to education for adolescents, particularly the most vulnerable; (iii) to promote youth employment and self-employment. The main beneficiaries are adolescents and young people between 10 and 35 years of age. However, different activities will reach different groups in terms of gender, age group, area of residence and vulnerability.

The implementation of this project at INJ level is operationalised through two programmes, namely the “EU SOU CAPAZ” (“I AM CAPABLE”) Programme and the “EMPREGA” (“EMPLOY”) Programme. The components and activities of these programmes aim to contribute to the reduction of institutional, programmatic, and individual vulnerability of young people, complementing the ongoing activities of the Government of Mozambique.

The “EU SOU CAPAZ” Programme aims to provide better educational opportunities and access to services for girls, adolescents, and young women. Actions will focus on (i) directly supporting the empowerment of out-of-school adolescent girls by providing them with life skills, guidance, information and referral to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and formal education services (ESPAÇOS SEGUROS component; SAFE SPACES component); and (ii) reducing the direct cost of education for vulnerable girls through school level interventions (GIRLS" SCHOOL RETENTION component).

The EMPREGA Programme, corresponding to component 2 of the Project, aims to “Promote Productive Employment Opportunities" with a view to providing better economic opportunities for young people aged 18 to 35. For some young people this will mean increasing opportunities for paid employment (component 2.1), preferably in enterprises with growth potential; for others it will mean increasing productivity in self-employment, family businesses or other forms of employment (component 2.2).

The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment and further information can be obtained via email at the following address: informacoesdoconcurso@gmail.com
