Consultant for Proposal Development Micro Enterprises Support Programme Trust

Background and Rationale of the assignment **
Resource mobilisation is a key MESPT function with the objective of facilitating the delivery of MESPT’S strategic agenda and her sustainability. In line with this MESPT is responding to a call by Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DMFA) that seeks to explore approaches to further green its international development engagements including the DMDP programme.
The focus of the call is on tangible ideas on how existing DMDP projects where MESPT is participating among other institutions could become even greener, more sustainable, and more impactful in support of the Danish Government’s green ambitions.
The point of departure for the additional funding is the current/ ongoing DMDP projects. The additional activities should have a focus on further greening the business case of the commercial partner(s) and/or the target group to further expand and sustain the development effects of the project.
Additional green approaches and activities could include:

New innovative and green project elements (introduction of green technologies/approaches, circular economy in production, green skills, etc.)
Addition of new complementary partner(s)/new product(s) that can further green the value chain/market system in which the project is operating
Scaling and replication of the green DMDP solutions in adjacent/connected markets/countries, if well argued in terms of commercial viability and cost used efficiency

The additional support should clearly contribute with new green elements to the DMDP project beyond continuation of existing activities.
