    Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH needs financial advisory services to support the green transition of financial institutions in Jordan, aiming to improve MSMEs' access to inclusive green finance and environmentally sustainable business growth, with a focus on women-led enterprises. The award criteria are Price (5%) and Quality (95%). Suppliers must demonstrate at least 3 reference projects, with a minimum commission value of 100,000.00 EUR each, of which 2 must be in cooperating with financial institutions on MSME sustainable finance (1 on project proposal development for climate finance in cooperation with financial service providers), and at least 1 reference project in Jordan in the above-mentioned technical field, all completed within the last 36 months. Additionally, suppliers need an average annual turnover of at least 2,000,000.00 EUR for the last three years and an average of at least 15 employees and managers for the past three calendar years.

    About the bid

      Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) constitute the overwhelming majority of economic activity in Jordan. MSMEs account for over 99% of all enterprises, employ around 60% of the formal private-sector workforce, and contribute 40% of Jordan Gross Domestic Product (GDP), making them crucial for economic growth, resilience, and job creation. Despite this importance, MSMEs still face obstacles in accessing appropriate and diversified financial products. Access to formal credit remains limited for many MSMEs. According to the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) 2023-2028, only 28.3% of formal MSMEs had a loan or line of credit from a financial institution, highlighting a significant financing gap for smaller firms in Jordan. Financial exclusion is especially pronounced for underserved segments such as informal and women-led enterprises, which often face higher collateral requirements, limited credit histories, and lower formal borrowing rates. Financial inclusion, defined as access to and use of appropriate, affordable, and sustainable financial products and services, remains a priority in Jordan. The CBJ is pursuing ambitious targets to increase overall financial inclusion, reduce gender gaps, and enhance MSME access to finance, including through digital channels and tailored products. The NFIS aims, for example, to increase MSMEs access to formal lending at an average annual rate of 4% for four years. In a similar vein, Jordan"s Green Finance Strategy 2023-2028 aims to mobilize green investments and position the financial sector as a regional leader in sustainable finance. The strategy highlights that a 92.5% of the Jordan National Determined Contribution (NDC) target cost is to be financed by international support and mobilized private capital. As Jordan advances its Green Finance Strategy, a central priority was establishing clear and credible standards for what qualifies as "green" across the financial system. The Jordan National Green Taxonomy, published in February 2026, provides this clarity by offering a common language for the financial system to classify sustainable economic activities in a transparent and consistent way. By anchoring investment decisions to science-based criteria, the taxonomy helps ensure that future capital flows genuinely support Jordan"s low-carbon, climate-resilient transition. Against this backdrop, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GIZ-implemented project, Innovative Approaches for the Financial Inclusion of MSMEs in Jordan (I-FIN), takes a holistic, market-driven approach to strengthening inclusive green finance in the country. The project operates across the policy, institutional, and market levels, helping to improve the broader enabling environment, upgrade the technical and operational capacities of financial service providers, and ensure that enterprises can confidently access and benefit from green finance solutions. The overall objective of the project is to ensure that MSMEs in Jordan benefit from a more inclusive financial system that enables inclusive access to green finance and supports environmentally sustainable and resilient business growth, also with a focus on women-led enterprises.

      10021316-Lot 1: Strengthening MSME Competitiveness, Market Access and Business Environment Reform in Benin

      Benin's economy has experienced strong growth in recent years, with GDP growth estimated at around 6-7% annually. Nevertheless, this growth has not translated sufficiently into sustainable employment and income opportunities for the majority of the population. Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which represent more than 95% of registered businesses in Benin, continue to face major structural constraints limiting their competitiveness, productivity and job creation potential. These constraints include limited access to finance and markets, low levels of innovation and digitalisation, weak managerial and technical capacities, insufficient quality infrastructure, and a mismatch between labour market needs and available skills. The project "Employment-oriented promotion of the competitiveness of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises" (ProPME 2) aims to improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in selected sectors and regions in Benin with a strong employment impact. The project focuses particularly on enterprises operating in the agri-food sector, renewable energies, crafts and services, as well as on strengthening entrepreneurial ecosystems and labour market intermediation structures. Particular attention is given to women-led enterprises and young entrepreneurs. The project contributes to Benin"s National Development Plan 2018-2025, the national SME promotion strategy and the national employment promotion strategy. It is implemented as part of the wider programme "Improvement of income and employment situation in Benin", jointly supported by German Development Cooperation through GIZ and KfW. In addition, the project supports the implementation of the Alliance for Product Quality in Africa (AfPQ), a multi-actor initiative implemented by GIZ and PTB to improve product quality and market access under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The module is structured around three main outputs: - Output 1 aims to strengthen the entrepreneurial, technical and market integration capacities of MSMEs through tailored training, coaching and quality management support. - Output 2 aims to improve the business environment and strengthen support institutions involved in MSME development, quality infrastructure and public-private dialogue. - Output 3 aims to improve labour market intermediation and the alignment between vocational training and the skills needs of MSMEs.
