CALL FOR APPACATIONS
Consultancy for Developing Slogans, Designing and Printing of IEC materials under the Demand Side Results Based Financing (DS RBF) project
BACKGROUND
Energising Development (EnDev) is a strategic partnership of likeminded donors and partners to support access to modem energy in more than 20 countries around the globe. The driving force behind EnDev is the partnership of Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland; donors who are committed to accelerating energy access and socio- economic development

In Uganda, EnDevis part of the GIZ Energy and Climate Programme and cooperates closely with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMO), UNHCR and Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) to enable access to modern energy products to enterprises and social institutions including health centres and schools as well as to households in refugee settlements and hosting districts
Currently Uganda hosts more than 1.5 million refugees, mostly from South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Burundi, Rwanda, and Somalia. Uganda is one of the top refugee hosting countries worldwide. Refugees live mostly in settlements along with rural host communities across 13 districts which are among the poorest and least developed in the country. Despite efforts from EnDev as well as related projects such as the GIZ Energy Solutions for Displacement Setting (ESDS) (through several supply and demand side interventions) and various other humanitarian and development partners, significant barriers to access to modem energy products and services remain.

One of which is the huge affordability gap for solar PV and clean cooking technologies at the household level that is majorly hindering access for more constrained communities such as refugee communities, their host districts, and other vulnerable rural communities.
To address this issue. EnDev, with funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs Directorate General for International Cooperation (DGIS), is implementing the Demand Side Results Based Financing
