The project aims to provide technical assistance to overcome gender-related barriers in immunization programmes, with a primary focus on reaching zero-dose children and underserved communities. By integrating gender-sensitive approaches across the Gavi grant cycle—from planning and design to implementation and monitoring—the initiative seeks to enhance equity and inclusivity in health services. This involves conducting comprehensive gender analyses, advising on gender-integrated programme designs and establishing gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation frameworks.

The mission provides technical assistance to the EMAE and AFAP for the rehabilitation and expansion of Sao Tome and Principe’s medium- and low-voltage electricity network, the modernization of the EMAE’s dispatch centre, and the integration of battery energy storage systems, while ensuring compliance with technical, environmental and social standards. It covers grid assessment and design, tender preparation, as well as environmental and social impact assessments and stakeholder engagement. The mission aims to strengthen the capacities of local teams and to coordinate national and international stakeholders to ensure efficient, resilient and sustainable electricity access. The team deployed combines expertise in electrical engineering, network planning, procurement, environmental and social management, and training to enhance energy reliability, inclusivity and long-term sustainability.

Ginger SOFRECO carried out the final evaluation of the “Support to the Panzi Hospital and Foundation” project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, funded by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The assignment aimed at analysing the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the project, using the CAD/OECD criteria and a mixed-methods methodological approach that combined quantitative and qualitative analyses.
The evaluation examined Panzi’s holistic care model, which integrates specialised medical treatment, psychosocial support, socio-economic empowerment and access to justice for women who are victims and survivors of sexual violence.
It identified the main results achieved, the success factors and the challenges encountered, and formulated operational and strategic recommendations to strengthen the model’s sustainability and its replicability in other fragile contexts.

The mission enabled stakeholders to work together on issues related to training and the revision of the manual for the effective implementation of grants from funding agencies.
The mission also helped to strengthen the staff's knowledge of the principles and tools of public administrative and financial management, and to establish an effective and transparent management system that complies with OHADA standards and national requirements.
Lastly, the mission produced a procedures manual which the National Universal Health Coverage Fund and all other stakeholders could consult at any time for guidance on administrative and financial management, although some improvements are still needed to finalise the document.

The objective of this mission is to assist the EAPP Independent Regional Regulatory Authority in developing the following key documents, which are essential for effective electricity market regulation: (i) Guidelines for effective electricity market regulation in East Africa; (ii) Rules and procedures for market monitoring and surveillance; (iii) Procedures for the formulation and adoption of technical rules (Grid Access Rules); and (iv) a robust and effective regulatory framework for sanctions (Rules and Procedures for Sanctions) to ensure compliance with the various regulatory instruments and technical standards governing the regional electricity market.

The overall objective of the mission is to strengthen the human capacities of the agents of the Economic Interest Grouping for the Maintenance of Waterways, GIE-SCEVN.
More specifically, the objective of the assignment is to implement the training plan for the agents of the GIE-SCEVN, established in the framework of the organisational and institutional audit of the GIE-SCEVN.
The Consultant must analyse the training plan drawn up in 2015 and make proposals for updating the plan according to the changes observed at the level of the GIE-SCEVN since the date on which the training plan was drawn up.
Depending on the module, training takes place in Brazzaville, Bangui, within the company or abroad.
At the end of the mission, a final mission report is drawn up, in which an evaluation of each training module and proposals for further training are developed, in order to improve the performance of the trained agents.
