Funded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), this assignment provided legal and contractual systems expertise to both state-owned and private sector enterprises, aiming to enhance the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in public tenders for EBRD technical cooperation projects in Jordan and Tunisia. The primary goal was to facilitate the familiarization and adoption of electronic procurement systems, processes, regulations, and tools. To achieve this, capacity-building activities included workshops and training sessions that showcased best practices to procuring entities and SMEs. A significant emphasis was placed on training programs tailored for women-led SMEs interested in electronic bidding. These initiatives aimed to increase awareness of gender-responsive procurement, elevate the visibility of women entrepreneurs among procuring entities, and empower women to engage effectively in the public procurement process.
