Overview : The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down the global economy and extended the economic contraction in Angola. The restrictions imposed by the pandemic emergency have significantly affected both households and private enterprises. Informal employment has risen during this situation and accounts for nearly 8 out of 10 jobs in Angola. Widespread informality is associated with poor coverage under social protection, limited access to skills development and entrepreneurship support, low financial inclusion, lack of decent jobs, working poverty, gender inequalities, and poor use of digital technologies, among others. The Angolan Government has responded to these challenges by adopting a response plan to COVID-19 and launching the Program for the Reconversion of Informal Economy (PREI), led by the Ministry of Economy and Planning (MEP) to promote a transition strategy from the informal to the formal economy. It is therefore in view of the foregoing that the attached RFQ along with relevant TOR is attached for interested firms to submit their quotations which should consist of technical and financial offers. Quotations should be submitted to: tendersangola.ao@undp.org |
