Background
The Graça Machel Trust (GMT) is a pan-African organisation founded in 2010 and represented in 18 countries to remove structural and institutional barriers limiting women’s economic advancement, to achieve the long-term vision for an Africa where women have greater access to resources, skills, and opportunities, enabling them to thrive both socially and economically.
Programme Information
Women Creating Wealth - Intergenerational Edition (WCW-l) aims to transform Africa’s economies through a gender-responsive enterprise development system centered around women’s businesses to accelerate and sustain improvements in the quality of life for women and youth. The project is implemented from January 2023 to January 2025 and has now secured a No Cost Extension to run through February 2027 with Implementation stopping in September 2026.
Through this Initiative, we posit that: if women entrepreneurs in the targeted sectors receive human-centered personal, leadership, and entrepreneurship capacity strengthening; have access to a community of support, finance, and markets; and exist in an enabling environment, their enterprises will grow and transform from income generation to wealth creation.10 As their enterprises grow, more meaningful work will be created for young women. Female small business owners in the informal sector reinvest up to 90% of their income in the education, health and nutrition of their families and communities, compared to up to 40% for men (Africa Economy, 2020).
As women create wealth, they are therefore more likely to contribute to the realization of at least 6 Sustainable Development goals – zero poverty; zero hunger; good health and wellbeing; gender equality; decent work and economic growth.
Requirements and Selection Criteria
GMT invites applications from evaluation firms with teams having an appropriate gender balance and relevant expertise, experience, and skills to successfully undertake the assignment as described above. The team must demonstrate significant experience in designing, developing and evaluating complex Pan-African programs, ideally within socio-economic context, access to finance and market systems, SME training, work integrated learning, youth employment, and leadership development. The team must be highly competent in research, expertise in developing MERL tools, quantitative and qualitative methodologies and approaches that are contextually relevant and rooted in Made in African Evaluation approaches; data collection and analysis; communication (verbal and written); report writing; and research design of development projects. The team must have sound project management skills to stay organised and deliver high quality deliverables on time. Previous experience working together would be an asset. Team members must be fluent in English with at least one member fluent in French.
