Improving Training for Disadvantaged Women in Dhaka

Bangladesh has experienced economic growth over the past decade, but poverty remains a significant issue, particularly for women. Many women face barriers to entering the workforce, including limited access to skills development, gender stereotypes, and domestic responsibilities. The ADVANTAGE project, led by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, aims to enhance employment opportunities for young, disadvantaged women by improving access to short-term vocational training. This project focuses on developing gender-responsive training programs and empowering women through skills development. The target group includes women aged 14 to 35 with education up to grade 10, as well as other vulnerable populations. The project seeks to strengthen training institutions by creating new competency-based training courses and improving training conditions. The selected supplier will be responsible for developing these courses, training trainers, and assessing the needs of training institutions to ensure effective implementation.
