81294166-Consulting services for ProTVET III

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has commissioned the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to implement the project: "Promotion of Technical Vocational Education and Training" (ProTVET III) in Namibia. The project assists the Namibian Government through the Ministry of Higher Education, Technology and Innovation (MHETI), the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) and the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) in their endeavours to improve the performance of the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector. The focus of the project is to enhance the efficiency of governance processes, to work with ten TVET centres in their alignment with local industry and to support the TVET department of the NUST in improving the training of trainers and research of the sector. For this purpose, the project is divided into three areas of activity:
1. The first field of activity aims at strengthening regulatory and steering functions within MHETI and its downstream institutions to ensure the TVET system is more efficient at the macro level. Close partnerships with the TVET Directorate of MHETI, the NTA, and participation formats with the business sector are critical. The project provides expert advice on optimising central governance processes based on the revised TVET Policy, strengthening the effectiveness of Industry Skills Committees, and preparing a new framework for governance and management of public TVET centres. Additionally, technical advice on strengthening the regulatory framework and quality management of dual apprenticeships is rendered.
2. The second field of activity is on expanding the provision of labour market oriented TVET. In line with a new strategy for centres of excellence and the revised TVET Policy, ten training providers are supported regarding enhanced self-governance, sustainable management of the institutions and labour market orientation. This is realised through the support of work-integrated learning, industry attachment of trainers, and capacity development measures for TVET management personnel, trainers, and industry mentors. The project also strengthens digital approaches and offers at the ten TVET institutions.
3. The third field of activity aims to strengthen the institutional capacity for gender-responsive education and training of TVET personnel at the NUST. The project supports the TVET department in cooperation with centres of excellence to provide practice-oriented education and training for TVET trainers and managerial staff and to implement applied TVET research projects. This increases the number of trainers in the TVET system, especially women, who meet the competence standard for TVET personnel.
A short-term consultancy pool with a coordinator position is tendered to support the implementation of the project. Short-term experts are needed for all three fields of activity of the project to assist with national and international technical advice on policy development, industry alignment, e-learning and training of trainers.
