Overview

As part of the implementation of the beneficiation scheme of KNP emanating from the settlement agreement, which communities signed with government in 2016, SANParks as an implementing agent to the beneficiation scheme identified a need to assist with the upskilling of SMMEs in order to accelerate their development and ensure sustainability and ultimate financial and operational independence. SANParks would like to appoint service provider to conduct a value chain analysis study to identify and quantify business and procurement opportunities and design a project to assist SMME in and around KNP to leverage those business opportunities.

Specifically, the UNDP is requiring the assistance of a suitably qualified and experienced service provider:

• To guide PMU to design a ESD incubation program which is geared towards establishing and supporting SMMEs, reducing their transaction costs, increasing their confidence and capacity while linking their to resources, networks and markets for successful business venturing in order to achieve sustainable results, overcome obstacles and increase their competitiveness in the market with the end result being job creation and poverty alleviation.

• Develop and package a simple user-friendly guideline/toolkit with a high quality of learning content while maintaining a realistic ambition level with regard to both scope and content and expressing a balance between the identified needs and the capacity of the users.

• Offer training and technical support to at least 60 SMMEs for continued learning, coaching and mentorship.
