Beschreibung der Beschaffung
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH was commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development to support UNHCR in its role and to foster synergies and complementarity between humanitarian and development actors through a Global Program called "Support to UNHCR in operationalization of the Global Compact on Refugees the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus" in 2018. In Mauritania, the global program is rep-resented by the project called ProNEXUS, jointly implemented by GIZ and UNHCR as part of the first component of the Global Program. The project aims to build capacity to promote the socio-economic inclusion of refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable members of host communities in Mauritania.
Axis I of the ProNEXUS project is dedicated to improving access to basic public services, including edu-cation. Indeed, the Mauritanian state has launched a new policy to boost the integration and use of new technologies in all sectors, particularly in the education sector, through the creation of the Minis-try of Digital Transition, Innovation and Modernization of the Administration. The spread of the Covid-19 virus has forced the Mauritanian government to close some public places including schools. This was followed by the proposal and implementation of an arsenal of measures to avoid blank years. Among these measures was the establishment of educational platforms and their digitalization so that students can follow the courses online. It turned out that not only did schools need computer equip-ment, but also that the introduction of pupils to New Technologies for Educational Purposes (ICTE) is therefore necessary in order to facilitate pupils' learning. Therefore, ProNEXUS intends to create In-clusive ICT Spaces for primary school students, but also for children living with disabilities who are not enrolled in schools in the Moughataa of Bassikounou, Mbera Camp, and in Nouakchott.
In order to achieve the above, the following main tasks shall then be:
