- Tenders are invited for DREAMS Market Systems Assessment. Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world. Mercy Corps partners to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future. Mercy Corps has been operating in Ethiopia since 2004, working in rural, peri-urban and urban areas in five regional states - Somali, Oromia, Afar, Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples, Amahara - and the capital city of Addis Ababa. We engage in both development and humanitarian work, and seek to integrate approaches, programs and geographies as much as possible. Our partners include government, academic institutions, development and private sector actors, civil societies and participating public. Mercy Corps is committed to supporting the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) to address the challenge posed by the large influx of refugees into the country. Ethiopia has the second largest refugee population in Africa, second only to Uganda. The official refugee population is more than 905,000 individuals, composed of mainly South Sudanese (48%), Somalis (28%), Eritreans (18%), and Sudanese (5%) living in 25 refugee camps in peripheral regions of the country. The scale of the refugee numbers, and the long-term nature of the challenge (many refugees have been living in the country for more than 20 years), requires new thinking and innovative solutions. This has been recognized by the GoE through its support for the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), and through the draft of a ‘National Comprehensive Refugee Response Strategy- (NCRRS) by the Administration of Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA). The NCRRS includes ‘Nine Pledges- that ultimately aim to create productive and self-reliant citizens among refugees and host communities. Mercy Corps has extensive expertise in developing sustainable solutions to complex humanitarian challenges. We employ a systems-strengthening approach to improve human and social capital; and to link, strengthen and expand systems critical to improving household incomes and resilience at the individual, community and systems level. To address the challenges facing refugees and vulnerable host communities Mercy Corps, along with Village Enterprise and IDInsight are launching a new innovative program that combines two proven approaches - poverty graduation and market system development - layering these approaches in a new way that will ensure that the poorest households are able to improve their income and well-being significantly and sustainably. The program - Delivering Resilient Enterprises and Market Systems for refugees - or DREAMS will be launched in Dollo Ado and Bokolmayo woredas, Ethiopia and will target the most vulnerable refugees and host communities to build security and dignity that comes from providing for one-s family. The Graduation model will provide the capital and skills to support refugees and vulnerable host communities as they establish their businesses, and the Market Systems Development approach will help build market access pathways to ensure those businesses can be successful and sustainable. Eligible companies/firms have to submit the following: • CV of consultant(s) and company profile • Statement of interest, proposed methodology and work plan; • Copies of renewed business registration certificates. • Financial proposal with a detailed breakdown of costs (including all related costs) in Dollar mentioning the terms of payment. • Technical and financial proposal should be sent separately and in a sealed envelope; to Mercy Corps Ethiopia head office, P.O.Box: 14319, Addis Ababa or Electronic copy can be sent to et-tender-questions@mercycorps.org • Failure to comply with any of the conditions indicated above will result in automatic rejection. • Application deadline is 8th April 2022 5:00PM East Africa Time and proposals sent after this date may not be considered. • Mercy Corps reserves the right to reject the bid fully or par
