NOTICE NO. SIEF-W1/2026 (ROUND 2 OF WINDOW 1)
SKILLS, INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP FUND
CALL FOR PROPOSAL FOR INSTITUTIONAL IMPROVEMENT OF TVET CENTERS
Project Background:
The Gambia, with its vibrant youth population and commitment to development, is poised for a promising future, yet faces several challenges. In the realm of basic education, the focus is on improving learning outcomes, particularly in the early grades, to ensure every child acquires the necessary foundational skills. The Government of The Gambia recognized and prioritized the challenge of having a higher quality and relevance in youth, technical, and vocational education and training (TVET) to meet labour market demands. For the large population living in poverty, the goal is to provide a second chance through access to social protection measures, skills training, and income-generating opportunities. These challenges, while significant, are being addressed with determination and a vision for a resilient, inclusive, skilled, and equitable Gambia.
To address these challenges, The Gambia Resilience, Inclusion, Skills, and Equity Project (The Gambia RISE Project – P197233) is a multi-sectoral, five-year initiative of The Government of The Gambia, funded by the World Bank. The project aims to increase the foundational skills of students in early grades (Component 1), provide job-relevant training to youth (Component 2), and boost income-generating opportunities, including for the poor and vulnerable (Component 3), in The Gambia. The Gambia’s National Development Plan (2023-2027) prioritizes Human Capital Development (Pillar IV) and Empowerment, Social Inclusion, and Leaving No One Behind (Pillar VI). The RISE project is aligned with the Government’s Education Sector Strategic Plan 2016-2030 and The Gambia National Social Protection Policy 2015-2025. 

The project is being implemented by multiple Implementing Entities (IEs): the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MoBSE), the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (MoHERST), and the National Nutrition Agency/National Social Protection Secretariat (NaNA/NSPS). Each of these IEs leads technical activities within its respective domain. The RISE Project is coordinated and managed by a Central Project Coordination Unit (CPCU) within the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs.
The Gambia's aspirations for a diversified and sustainable economy hinge on a skilled and adaptable workforce. However, current Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems face challenges in equipping youth with the relevant skills and fostering a culture of innovation. The Skill Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fund (SIE Fund), established by MoHERST as a key component of the World Bank-funded RISE project, emerges as a critical intervention, designed to bridge this gap and empower a generation of skilled and entrepreneurial young Gambians.
The SIE Fund has three-pronged interventions referred to as windows:
·    Window 1; Enhancing TVET Capacity: Strengthening institutions through improved programmes, qualified trainers, and modern facilities as well as creating Hubs for innovation and excellence in training.
·    Window 2; Promoting Relevant Skills Development: Equipping youth and graduates with relevant skills and fostering a culture of innovation and attention to market needs within TVET institutions.
·    Window 3; Supporting Youth Entrepreneurship: Enabling young people to translate their skills into successful businesses through startup support and mentorship.
The SIE Fund Secretariat, situated in MoHERST, is responsible for the management, coordination, and administrative processes of the Fund.
Objectives of Window 1:
The Institutional Improvement Window aims to achieve the following objectives:
•    Enhance Program Quality: Provide grants to support the development and revision of TVET programs, ensuring they align with the national qualifications framework and industry standards.
•    Invest in Trainer Development: Offer resources for professional development opportunities for trainers, equipping them with the latest skills and pedagogical approaches.
•    Modernize Facilities and Equipment: Provide funding for the upgrade and expansion of training facilities and the acquisition of essential equipment, fostering a conducive learning environment.
•    Establish Entrepreneurship and Innovation Hubs: Support the creation of dedicated hubs within TVET institutions to nurture a culture of innovation and equip students with entrepreneurial skills.
Scope of Window 1 Support:
The requested support must be in line with the priorities outlined in the Recovery-Focused National Development Plan (RF-NDP, 2023 – 2027). The projects must indicate determined commitment to high-quality infrastructure and equipment, towards improving the technical and pedagogical capacity of public and private TVET centres, strengthening both the quality of the training on offer and the capacity of training responses, to promote equal opportunities and greater equity in access to available resources. 
The submissions to be funded must have an impact on promoting competitiveness among TVET centres by offering qualifications and skills in line with the labour market requirements. 
Environmental dimensions must be integrated into the proposals, focusing on the energy efficiency of structures and equipment, as well as the gender equality and opportunities dimension, which includes combating training limitations and professional segregation.
This Window supports institutions in innovating and maintaining facilities, including workshops, laboratories, and training rooms, to help them better respond to issues related to digital skills and improve the quality of training with a focus on employability.
The proposed projects are expected to be strategic in providing better conditions in terms of equipment and technological readiness, thus guaranteeing better response capacity and methodological adjustment to adapt the training offered to the needs of the labour market. 
Additionally, the window encourages TVET centres to address social and gender inequalities and enhance the resilience of employment, particularly for young people with low qualifications, by strengthening skills to develop a consistent vocational training system. It aims to support innovative projects that enhance the employability of young people.  
Under this window, 20 institutions will be awarded Facility Enhancement, and Professional development grants totalling 254,762 USD.

Considerations during the proposal development
The evaluation process will be conducted in a fair, transparent, and merit-based manner. It will involve the following key steps:
Eligibility Evaluation: As a first step, proposals will undergo a rigorous check, conducted by the SIE Fund Secretariat, to ensure that the proposal meets the minimum requirements outlined in the Call for Proposal Document. Eligibility criteria will be clearly outlined in the call for proposals documents.
Proposal Evaluation and Pre-Selection: Proposals will undergo a rigorous evaluation process conducted by a panel of evaluators. Evaluation criteria will be clearly outlined in the call for proposals documents and may include factors such as:
Alignment with Window Objectives: Does the proposed project effectively address the core objectives of the Window, particularly in terms of enhancing programme quality, trainer development, and fostering a culture of innovation?
Institutional Needs Assessment: Does the application clearly demonstrate the institution's needs through a comprehensive needs assessment, and does the proposed project directly address these identified gaps?
Project Design and Feasibility: Is the project design logical, well-structured, and feasible within the proposed timeframe and budget?
Sustainability and Impact: Does the project demonstrate a clear strategy for ensuring the long-term sustainability of the improvements beyond the grant funding period? How will the project's impact on the institution's capacity and student outcomes be measured?
Value for Money: Does the proposed budget represent an efficient and cost-effective use of grant funds?
Evaluation Procedure
The evaluation of the proposals' merit is carried out to assess their relevance and quality, providing input for decision-making. This evaluation procedure provides an opportunity for the improvement of the ideas presented, giving greater credibility to the process and making the selection and approval process a tool for continuous improvement.
Scoring and Ranking: Each evaluation criterion will be assigned a specific weight, and evaluators will award scores based on pre-defined rubrics. Each individual score for the criteria used for the windows will be used to calculate the Merit of the Proposal (MP). Proposals will then be ranked based on their MP scores.
