Title : 81310663-Consultancy services for the (TEI IYBA-SEED) programme for start-ups and MSMEs in Kenya

Description : Investing in Young Businesses in Africa (IYBA) is a Team Europe Initiative to help young businesses and entrepreneurs in Africa, especially women, to launch, consolidate and grow sustainable, strong and inclusive businesses and create decent jobs. The specific objective is to support and develop the new and early-stage business ecosystem actors as well as increase the quantity and the quality of financial instruments and technical assistance for these enterprises (bringing together public and private funding). The activities include support to: - Building block 1: Pre-seed financing and technical assistance - Increase financial and technical support for pre-seed stage MSMEs, with financial needs up to EUR200,000. - Building block 2: Early-stage financing and Technical Assistance (TA) - Increase access to finance for MSMEs at seed and early stages, financial needs of between EUR200,000 and EUR5 million. - Building block 3: Ecosystem Support. "Investing in Young Businesses in Africa - Supporting Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Development (IYBA-SEED)" is part of the third Building Block and has a special emphasis on women and young people. The implementation of IYBA-SEED mobilises five Member State Organisations (MSOs) in collaboration with the European Commission (DG INTPA). The consortium of MSOs is composed of Expertise France (France) as lead, Enabel (Belgium), GIZ (Germany), SAIDC (Slovakia) and SNV (The Netherlands). The final beneficiaries of the project are referred to as "SEED beneficiaries"; they are defined: - as businesses and entrepreneurs in the very early and early stages of business development and/or, - led by young entrepreneurs (18-35 years old) and/or women entrepreneurs The overall objective of IYBA-SEED is to contribute to creating decent jobs for women and youth and resilient economies by strengthening entrepreneurial ecosystems in a number of sub-Saharan countries so that they can increase access to Business Development Services (both financial and non-financial) for SEED beneficiaries. The specific objectives (SO) are: - SO1: "Capacity Development and Networks" - Aims to improve access for SEED beneficiaries to Business Development Services (BDS) (both financial and non-financial) provided by Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Actors (EEAs) through strengthened entrepreneurial ecosystems (both nationally and internationally). - SO2: Business Environment - Aims to contribute to a business environment (rules, regulations, and policies) which is conducive to the creation and growth of SEED beneficiaries. - SO3: Entrepreneurial Culture - Aims to promote an inclusive entrepreneurial culture that encourages women and youth to create and grow SEED beneficiaries. - SO4: Ecosystem Mapping and Knowledge - Aims to improve access for EEAs, SEED beneficiaries and other stakeholders to information about Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and approaches to Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Strengthening. The operationalisation of IYBA-SEED will require project implementation at country-level, managed by locally based Country Teams, with central coordination from a Project Management Unit (PMU), based in Brussels. The interventions in the respective countries are specified in a Country Action Plan (CAP) determined by an initial Country Diagnostic, mapping the entrepreneurial ecosystems of each of the five target countries (Benin, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa and Togo). The specific objective of IYBA-SEED is: Actors of the Entrepreneurship Ecosystem (AoEEs) are supported to strengthen their Business Development Services (BDS) (financial and non-financial) for SEED beneficiaries. Best practices and lessons learned for Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Strengthening are produced, compiled, and shared.
