DESCRIPTION
The procuring entity seeks a vendor to provide business development services aimed at strengthening the investment readiness, competitiveness, and growth potential of tourism enterprises in Uganda. The assignment focuses on nature-based tourism micro, small, and medium enterprises, with support designed to improve access to finance and encourage the adoption of digital solutions, sustainable business practices, and gender-responsive approaches.
Scope of services includes outreach and mobilization of eligible enterprises across targeted tourism circuits, business diagnostics, and investment readiness assessments to identify capacity gaps. The selected provider will deliver tailored pre-investment advisory services such as training, coaching, business plan development, financial projections, and preparation of investment proposals, while also facilitating linkages between investment-ready enterprises and financial institutions.
The engagement also includes post-investment advisory support for enterprises that secure financing, with an emphasis on improving business performance, financial management, sustainability, and growth.
