As the Team Europe One Stop Shop for Green Energy Investments in Africa, GET.invest powers the Team Europe Africa-EU Green Energy Initiative, which is an access point for information about and facilitated access to European support and financing instruments for energy projects and companies in Africa.

GET.invest runs on the European multi-donor platform of the Global Energy Transformation Programme (GET.pro) (implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)) that delivers on international energy and climate goals.

The objective of this tender is to identify a suitable service provider to undertake research and knowledge dissemination tasks to support GET.invest with fulfilling its mandate. GET.invest aims to provide insights and market intelligence on topics relevant to the programme's service offering and sector, covering political, financial, technical and academic dimensions.  
The contractor will be responsible for providing the following two work packages and for achieving the corresponding milestones. 
1. Research and presentation of results in various formats, which are to be specified during the request. These can be ad-hoc or short-term assignments following a rapid-response approach, but also in-depth and potentially complex research, allowing for larger outputs that may require additional time and expertise.  
2. Support with dissemination of the results, ranging from strategic advice and logistical organisation to implementation of dissemination activities and the provision of speakers.  
For a successful implementation of the service, extensive experience in designing research processes and/or knowledge products combined with general experience in policy advisory and/or political communication in the fields of development cooperation and/or renewable energy are required.
