BACKGROUND
This Call for Proposals (CFP) is specifically related to the “Greening the Future” Project, which aims to implement an acceleration program and innovation challenge for businesses in Poti and Khobi municipalities. The Innovation Challenge is a niche product of UNDP, designed as a prized challenge to solicit innovative ideas and solutions for development challenges that cannot be addressed through traditional solicitation processes. The primary goal of Innovation Challenges is to engage with and support private sector companies in accelerating the achievement of development objectives.
OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS/ DELIVERABLES
This Call for Proposals aims to select an NGO/CSO as a Responsible Party to support the implementation of the Greennovation BOOST in close cooperation with UNDP Georgia. The Greennovation BOOST consists of the acceleration program and innovation challenge focusing on the private sector digital and green transformation in the Poti and Khobi municipalities. The efforts envisaged are anticipated to result in at least 30 businesses participating in the acceleration program, with at least 10 initiatives receiving further support from the project. The project is expected to be completed within 15 months in Poti and Khobi municipalities.
