Beschreibung der Beschaffung
The overarching focus of the project ‘Cluster Support in the Agriculture and Food Industry in Ethiopia’ is to overcome growth barriers in industry Clusters and the Small and Medium Enterprises to create decent job opportunities. Therefore, the project seeks for an international consultant responsible for the implementation of following goals:
1) Improving the capacity of companies: by introducing process innovations, companies can increase their efficiency and productivity and thus their competitiveness and sales. Supporting product diversification intends to reduce dependency of a single product and open market opportunities. Qualifying personnel of the companies and equipping them with the necessary technical know-how and improving the organizational and management skills of managing directors will support the performance of the companies. Improved financial management skills and literacy, (loan application, alternative banking, investment, etc.) enables them to use the limited financial resources available in an entrepreneurial manner and improves chances to access outside capital and public funding. The new competencies and increased financial resources can be invested in the expansion of their production and improvement of the working conditions of their employees as well as create new jobs.
2) Improving the entrepreneurial ecosystem in company's clusters: Interventions include training programs for cluster actors, market information, marketing channels, and logistics services.
3) Strengthening the capacities of cooperative associations and private service providers to develop and provide such services, thereby addressing existing barriers to growth along supply chains, especially between farms and companies in the clusters.
The goals are strongly interlinked. Only if clusters work on ecologically, socially and economically sustainable principles, they can represent significant added value for the resident companies and workers as well as the surrounding economy.
The project's target group consists of unemployed and underemployed people, with a special focus on women and youth, employees and management of local and Ethiopian-based European and African companies in the agri-food sector, in particular micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
