Öffentliche Ausschreibung in Eschborn

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), in partnership with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MCI) and other public and private partners in Côte d"Ivoire implements the project "Promotion de l'autonomisation économique des Femmes en Côte d'Ivoire (Promoting women's economic empowerment in Côte d'Ivoire; ProFemme)" between April 2024 and February 2027. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and is implemented in partnership with the Côte d'Ivoire Ministry of Trade and Industry (MCI). For more than a decade, Côte d'Ivoire has been the country with the highest economic growth in West Africa. Yet, it is noteworthy that this economic growth is not very inclusive and that socioeconomic disparities persist in the labour market. Particularly women do not equitably benefit from this economic growth, as the employment rate of women in the country remains low and women experience discrimination in the labour market. If women do work, they are often employed on an informal basis and under precarious employment conditions. The current culture does not enable women to reconcile work and family. Accordingly, the aim of the project "ProFemme" is to improve the economic participation of women in urban and peri-urban areas in Côte d'Ivoire. The project implements measures aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, employment and the creation of women-friendly workplaces for women. More specifically, the project is strengthening capacities of public institutions for advancing the economic empowerment of women. The aim is to enable them to align public policy strategies and support measures more effectively with women"s needs. Additionally, the project is improving the quality of services that promote entrepreneurship and employment-oriented training for women.
