Support will be provided to Ukrainian Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers to strengthen their capacity to participate in Erasmus+ programmes. All services are to be delivered remotely between June 2025 and May 2026, structured under two main work packages.
Work Package 1: International Engagement through Erasmus+
A total of 40 VET providers will be engaged, with 25 selected for in-depth support. A joint planning workshop will be conducted with the National Erasmus+ Office–Ukraine and GIZ to define the training programme. Initial online sessions will be held to introduce Erasmus+ opportunities, followed by targeted training for the selected providers on project development and application processes. Partnerships with institutions in EU Programme countries will be facilitated, and individual support will be provided throughout the proposal preparation and submission phases. At least 18 Erasmus+ project applications are expected. All sessions will be fully organized and documented, including logistical coordination and reporting.
Work Package 2: Handbook Development
A bilingual handbook (Ukrainian and English) will be created to guide VET providers in drafting Erasmus+ project proposals. The handbook will include step-by-step instructions, visual aids, and digital navigation features, ensuring accessibility across devices. Its content will be tested during the application phase, revised accordingly, and submitted for approval by GIZ and the National Erasmus+ Office–Ukraine.

The objective of the monitoring and communication Assignment is to support the Danish Embassy in Addis Ababa in

The evaluation of the Danish Energy Partnership Programmes (DEPP) assesses over a decade of Denmark’s government-to-government cooperation on green energy transition. Covering 2012–2024, it examines partnerships in countries such as China, India, South Africa, Vietnam, and Mexico. The study reviews DEPP’s contributions to renewable energy integration, energy efficiency, long-term planning, and capacity strengthening, while identifying lessons for future programming. Applying OECD-DAC criteria, the evaluation aims to document results, enhance accountability, and generate actionable recommendations to inform Denmark’s continued role as a trusted partner in advancing global climate and energy goals.

The evaluation will assess the African Development Bank’s Regional Integration Strategy for Southern Africa (SA-RISP) 2020–2026, covering implementation from 2020 to 2024. It will review the Bank’s sovereign and non-sovereign lending operations alongside non-lending activities such as policy dialogue, analytical work, and technical assistance. The study will examine the strategy’s relevance, design, and coherence with regional and continental frameworks (SADC, COMESA, AfCFTA), as well as its effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability. It will also analyse the institutional, operational, and policy factors that enabled or hindered results, and draw lessons and recommendations to inform the design of the next SA-RISP.
