Tenders are invited for Providing Consultancy Services on Mentoring Programmes to Provide Knowledge and Skills to Members of the Urban Management and Planning Team. The Strengthening Institutional and Economic Resilience in Yemen (SIERY) project, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), aims to improve the economic and social well-being of Yemeni citizens, especially the most vulnerable and poor. This project is of great strategic importance given the economic and social challenges facing Yemen due to the protracted crisis in the country. One of the main components of the project focuses on strengthening the resilience of cities in the targeted governorates, by supporting local authorities to take actions in line with Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. This component aims to improve the capacity of local authorities in urban planning and management to contribute to the sustainable development of Yemeni cities and improve the social and economic well-being of citizens. In this context, Ghadaq Development Organization (GHFD) is a local women-led NGO founded in 2015 by a team of professionals committed to making a significant difference for those affected by poverty, conflict and the difficult circumstances of the country. GHFD has quickly become an influential organization in the field of development, focusing on sustainable strategies to address the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. Ghadaq Organization was contracted to support this initiative by establishing Urban Planning and Management Teams (UPMTs) in Marib and Taiz governorates and building their capacities on urban development and planning concepts. The implementation of this activity began with introductory workshops to familiarize local authorities in each city with the main activities and concepts related to this concept. This initiative comes within the framework of UNDPs efforts within the SIERY project to support local authorities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, by strengthening the institutional and administrative capacities of local authorities and enabling them to plan and manage effective urban management.
