Procurement Notices

Context/Background:

The Inclusive and Equitable Local Development (IELD) Programme addresses structural impediments that prevent women from entering into local economy through unlocking local public and private capital for women’s economic empowerment and entrepreneurship. The programme aims to support and work with local government institutions and the private sector to design, plan, implement and sustain public and private investments that consider the differentiated needs and priorities of economically marginalized women in local economies. The project will foster the full participation of women in local economic development processes (LED), recognizing the reality of entrenched discriminatory attitudes, norms and stereotypes as well as the need to challenge existing inequitable social and economic structures.
