   II.1.4)Kurze Beschreibung:
   Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Ghana are critical to
   achieving economic growth and development. MSMEs form the foundation of
   private economic activity in Ghana, accounting for approximately 70% of
   GDP. MSMEs employ approximately 85% of the workforce in Ghana. However,
   unemployment remains one of the country"s major economic challenges.
   This was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
   In view of the above, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
   Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for
   Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is supporting the Ghanaian
   Government to tackle the high rate of unemployment and promote green
   jobs via the Support to the Private and Financial Sector (PFS)
   programme. The programme commenced in January 2023 and will run until
   December 2025. The programme builds on the experience of the previous
   Programme for Sustainable Economic Development (PSED) and aims to
   improve the employment situation of MSMEs in five regions of Ghana,
   i.e., Greater Accra, Ashanti, Bono, Bono East and Ahafo.
   This tender serves to recruit consultants who will support the
   implementation of four key outputs of the PFS programme, namely, 1)
   support for financial services, 2) business development service
   offering for MSMEs; 3) employment services for job seekers, especially
   for migrants, internally displaced people and the vulnerable
   population; 4) promotion of green business opportunities for MSMEs. For
   the third output the EU is contributing through co-financing.
