Delivery partners to support GGF TAF EP project implementation

GGF TAF EP is seeking Expressions of Interest for FY5 funding of projects design and delivery by think-tanks, academia, research organisations, companies, not-for-profit organisations/partnerships, which aim to assisting Ukraine's reforms aimed at the EU accession, green reconstruction agenda, gender mainstreaming and women's greater economic participation, as well as building on UK's profound expertise on financial services and enabling Ukrainian entrepreneurs to become a source of sustainable economic growth. The projects might be also focusing on expanding the mainstreaming of gender equality, conflict sensitivity, social inclusion and climate-related priorities across policy development processes relating to economic development and locally led reconstruction. A strong focus on green-based small and medium enterprises (SME)/private sector growth could be added to the list. Whilst a robust political commitment to a green transition is not possible at present due to the ongoing war, project-funded assessments on plausible green-growth options for SMEs, tech sector, etc. could be pursued in the FY5.

This call focuses on seeking delivery partners that have expertise and proven track records in the priority areas GGF had in previous financial years:

• Revitalising Ukrainian business. This includes support of small and medium-sized enterprises, green business, and empowering the role of women in Ukraine's economic growth and recovery; • Women Economic Empowerment through financing and consultancy support tailored to the needs of women-run businesses, boosting female participation in business associations and support of women-led associations, expansion of training programmes, incubators and accelerators for female entrepreneurs etc.; • Boosting Ukraine's tech sector as one of the most vibrant sectors of the economy suited to generate export revenue and contribute to inclusive reconstruction; • Attracting foreign investments by modernising Ukraine's capital markets and introducing innovative financial services; • Supporting macro-economic stability through prudent public financial management and strengthening financial controls to improve financial discipline, fight corruption, and maximise the impact of external financing aimed at the early recovery and reconstruction; • Building on a political momentum to support a bottom-up recovery and reconstruction planning by working with Ukrainian local communities (hromadas); • Providing constructive and complementary support to the public administration reform focused on Ukraine's accession negotiations with the EU. Expressions of Interest should be emailed to, [email protected] and file names must include the name of the applicant organisation (e.g. ABC-application.pdf). Receipt of all Expressions of Interest will be acknowledged.
