Context The Feminism in Action for Structural Transformation (FAST) Programme works with governmental, academic, and civil society actors to address structural inequalities and promote gender-transformative approaches. Aligned with the BMZ Feminist Development Policy, FAST emphasizes Human rights-based approaches, Intersectionality and inclusion, Evidence-based policy-making and Strong collaboration with local actors. Since October 2023, the GIZ/FAST programme has been advancing BMZs Feminist Development Policy by promoting innovative feminist approaches to support structural transformation, with a focus in Rwanda on strengthening feminist movements and multi-stakeholder collaboration in areas such as good governance, gender data and digitalization, GBV, and unpaid care work. FAST Programme in partnership with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM), and the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) are implementing a series of capacity-building initiatives aimed at strengthening gender mainstreaming, gender-responsive budgeting (GRB), and evidence-based, data-driven advocacy across public institutions, private-sector actors, and civil society organizations in Rwanda. These initiatives respond to concrete institutional commitments and gaps identified by GIZ/FAST partners and stakeholders, including: the roll-out of the Gender Equality Seal Certification (RS 560:2023) by MINICOM; the operationalization of the Gender Mainstreaming Strategy for the Private Sector Development and Youth Employment (PSDYE) Sector Strategic Plan (20242029); persistent challenges in accessing and using gender data for advocacy and budgeting, and the upcoming launch of the Gender Data Lab (GDL), a centralized platform developed by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) with PARIS21, GIZ and the Gender Monitoring Office (GMO). To address these needs in a coordinated manner, GIZ/FAST requires the services of a consultant to moderate, facilitate and manage the logistics of four related trainings/workshops for a combined total of approximately 125 participants. Rather than procuring logistics separately for each event, GIZ is consolidating the four trainings under a single consultancy so that venue, accommodation, meals and common transport arrangements are delivered consistently and efficiently across all four events by the consultant. 2. Tasks to be performed by the contractor The overall objective of the consultancy is to facilitate, coordinate, and provide logistical support for four capacity-building trainings/workshops for GIZ/FAST partners and stakeholders, ensuring high-quality delivery that enables each training to achieve its specific learning and institutional-strengthening objectives. Specifically, the consultant will be responsible for: Providing a full conference package (venue hire, meals) for each of the four trainings. Providing accommodation and per diem, for participants and facilitators requiring lodging, for each training. Organizing and arrange transport for participants for trainings held outside Kigali. Supporting the smooth facilitation and administrative management of each event, in coordination with GIZ/FAST, MINICOM and NISR and producing any related reporting as required. 2.1.
