The agency is seeking a vendor to design and develop a comprehensive suite of tools and resources to support investees in strengthening their gender-smart practices and aligning with established criteria, particularly within the scope of the 2X Challenge. The selected contractor will develop a practical, user-friendly Investee Support Package, providing actionable guidance that can be applied across key policy, governance, operational, and reporting practices by qualified investees.

The project includes translating criteria into clear, applicable guidance and designing practical tools and templates that address common challenges investees face in meeting and improving adherence to gender-smart frameworks. The resources developed must be adaptable to different sectors, geographies, and business development stages to enable continuous improvement, promoting advancement from minimum compliance to best-practice gender outcomes.

Ultimately, the suite of tools and templates should strengthen the consistency and quality of how investees implement and demonstrate alignment with gender-smart criteria, thereby contributing to the credibility and advancement of gender finance.
