THIRD PARTY MONITORING (TPM) for GAZA

Trader Facilitation and Customs Support Programme (Tasdeer)

Tasdeer, an FCDO-funded trade facilitation programme in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is soliciting proposals from eligible and responsible consultancy companies to inform TASDEER on progress and challenges in the implementation of activities, strengthen its accountability system up and down the chain, help ensure safeguarding practices and risk mitigation measures are sufficiently in place, provide recommendations where appropriate, and ultimately facilitate learning.

The main objectives of contracting a TPM service provider in Gaza are to:

1. Provide reasonable assurance (using a sample method) that donor contributions are being used wisely for the intended purposes, and are properly accounted for, and in accordance with the planned objectives and progress reports.

2. Review the identified and potential risks, provide feedback and recommendations on how to monitor aid diversion, and ensure enhanced due diligence and risk mitigation standards are applied

3. Robustly consider accountability and safeguards throughout TASDEER’s own processes, as well as the processes of partners and downstream partners

4. Strengthen TASDEER’s Knowledge, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (KMEL) mechanism and capacity for more effective and efficient response to the highest standards
