It should also provide up to ten-days of mentoring and coaching to PROSPER\u0027s Team to produce a rapid agribusiness market system analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e Tasdeer is a UK Government-funded, trade facilitation and a private sector development programme implemented by Cowater UK. The programme works across trade facilitation, the trade and business enabling environment, private sector competitiveness, skills, innovation and exports, customs reform, and inclusive and gender-responsive economic growth.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e PROSPER, funded by Global Affairs Canada, aims to enhance economic resilience and prosperity for women and youth in the agribusiness and renewable energy/energy efficiency (RE/EE) sectors. It works on three fronts. First, it strengthens enabling institutions to adopt inclusive and gender-responsive policies and services. Second, it equips women and youth with market-relevant skills, capacities \u0026nbsp;and solutions so they can enter and compete effectively in both sectors. Third, it expands economic opportunities with and through local institutions for women- and youth entrepreneurs/MSMEs through technical and financial assistance, access to green finance and technologies, and links to local and external markets.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e Both programmes work with private sector actors, government and other market institutions to generate sustainable economic outcomes. While the programs are not MSD programs, it is using principles of MSD as relevant to the local context, to facilitate changes in key institutions and partners with the aim of achieving lasting change in a highly constrained and volatile context. Therefore, Cowater is seeking to strengthen teams\u0027 practical understanding and application of systems development principles and tools and to build greater consistency in how systemic thinking is applied across programme design, implementation, partnership approaches and management, adaptation and results measurement.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe full Terms of Reference can be found at the following link\u003c/strong\u003e:\u0026nbsp;https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cowater.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F10%2F20102026_Cowater-Palestine-MSD-Training-Coaching-ToR_RELEASE.docx\u0026amp;wdOrigin=BROWSELINK\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSubmission Process\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Please submit your technical response and financial quotation to procurement@prosper.ps \u0026nbsp;by 10 November 2026.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e The technical response should be concise and should not exceed 10 pages, excluding CVs.\u003cbr\u003e Questions regarding this ToR may be submitted to samira.saif@cowater.com by 28th October 2026.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e Cowater international strives to maintain a fair, transparent, and human centered recruitment process.
