Liverpool City Region Active Travel Maps
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is looking to create a new active travel map (walking, wheeling and cycling), primarily concentrating on cycle routes and facilities across the city region. The supplier will work with the LCRCA and the six constituent authorities (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral) to develop a map that is both clear and easy to use. The result of the contract will be six maps (1 for each local authority area) of active travel facilities such as segregated cycle lanes, off road cycle networks and on road quiet routes. The mapping data that is created by the successful supplier will be owned solely by the LCRCA. This is so that when new routes and facilities are built, the maps can be easily updated by the internal personnel using a standard specification. The maps will need to include key destinations, safety information, key landmarks, bike shops, repair stations, and links to public transport hubs. These will be...

GMH Technical Consultant Procurement in Indonesia
Waste & Resources Action Programme
Food waste is a major source of methane, a potent short-lived climate forcer. Globally, food waste contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions and resource inefficiency across supply chains. Rice is a staple food for Indonesia with a high-volume commodity in which post-harvest losses and handling inefficiencies can generate both food waste and methane emissions from spoilage and poor storage. Improved resource efficiency in rice supply chains can reduce food waste, cut methane emission, and improve livelihoods and economic performance. With the above background, WRAP is seeking experienced consultant/team to undertake a food loss and waste hotspot analysis across the Indonesian rice supply chain (on-farm, collection points, storage, milling and processing, distribution/transport, retail and household) for selected rice supply chains in Indonesia to collaboratively collect operational data within the supply chain (where feasible tonnes, value, and data necessary to...

Support to the Peruvian Government in managing the OECD accession process (ViaOCDE)
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
The project "Support to the Peruvian Government in managing the OECD accession process (ViaOCDE)" aims to strengthen the capacity of the Peruvian State in the process of accession to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), as well as to sustainably manage the post-accession phase. Since 2022, Peru has been engaged in the OECD accession process, which entails a comprehensive assessment of its public policies, legal frameworks and institutional arrangements against OECD standards. This process covers multiple sectors and requires the implementation of complex reforms, as well as high levels of interinstitutional coordination and evidence generation for decision-making. In this context, the project contributes to strengthening the technical and institutional conditions required to manage the accession process, promoting a coherent, evidence-based and gender-sensitive implementation of OECD recommendations. It also supports the implementation of strategic...
Responses to VAWG Perpetrated by Children and Young People
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF)
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is seeking a team to conduct a review of the identification, risk assessment and responses to violence against young women and girls (VAWG) perpetrated by children and young people. This project will explore practice across local areas to build a picture of how VAWG perpetrated by children and young people aged 10-17 years-old is currently responded to across children’s services, youth justice and policing. Our hypothesis is that gaps in identification, coordination and support mean that many children and young people who are causing VAWG-related harm are not receiving appropriate interventions at the right time. To improve responses to VAWG among children and young people, it is necessary to (1) understand how instances of VAWG perpetration by children and young people are currently responded to, from initial identification through to intervention; and (2) identify policy and practice changes needed to improve early identification, risk assessment,...
