UNOPS is requesting information (RFI/2026/65438) for consultancy services to conduct a comprehensive capacity assessment of the Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE) in Ethiopia. The primary objective is to diagnose systemic bottlenecks within MoWE's programme and project management lifecycle, evaluate institutional digital readiness, and validate delivery gaps.

The assignment is expected to be completed within 12 weeks, resulting in key deliverables including inception reports, a preliminary findings presentation, a final gap analysis, and a sequenced institutional improvement roadmap. Interested vendors must be registered with the UN Global Marketplace (UNGM) and submit their responses via the UNOPS eSourcing portal. Required documentation includes a company profile, key personnel CVs, a previous experience form, a technical approach and methodology, and budgetary expectations. Submissions must be in PDF format and limited to a maximum of 25 pages, excluding annexes. The selected consultant must adhere to strict quality assurance protocols and comply with occupational health and safety standards, as well as Environmental and Social Management Frameworks (ESMF), ensuring gender mainstreaming and the inclusion of vulnerable groups in project design. Payments are triggered upon the formal acceptance of deliverables by UNOPS and MoWE.
