UNEP is looking for technical intermediaries that can act as UNEP’s implementing partners in Africa for its ‘In Tex’ project .
This three-year project funded by the European Commission (EC), promotes innovative business practices and economic models in the textile value chain. The InTex project has five components. Two components have global reach and three components will focus on national implementation in three countries in Africa. The three countries are to be selected through this call for proposals, and with it also the three technical intermediaries UNEP will partner with to implement the three components that have national focus. The project will drive the uptake of eco-innovation and Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) in SMEs in the textile sector in three countries in Africa and ensure sustainability of the approach, by strengthening the capacity of local partners who can continue to deliver knowledge and capacity beyond the project life-span.
The deadline for submission of proposals is the 11th of January 2021.
