Deadline: 22-Jan-21
Invest for Jobs is inviting applications for the Facility Investing for Employment (IFE) in Tunisia to support the creation of decent employment opportunities in Africa (long-term, full time jobs). It does so by offering co-financing grants for new investment projects with a high job creation impact.
IFE provides funding to companies, non-profit organisations and public partners to overcome obstacles to investments. IFE contributes cofinancing grants for employment-enhancing investments, accompanying advisory services and the set-up of investments, such as environmental and social impact assessments. This will remove barriers to creating additional and better jobs in the private sector.
Benefits
The IFE provides grants between €1 million and €10 million to co-finance four types of projects:
- Public Infrastructure for job creation (up to 90% of the cost)
- Common service for job creation (up to 75% of the cost)
- Projects that foster direct job creation which have benefits/impacts more broadly than solely for the project owners (up to 50% of the cost)
- Projects that foster direct job creation by companies (up to 25% of the total cost)
Eligibility Criteria
- Individual applicants (legal entities registered in Tunisia)
- Consortia (where at least one applicant is registered in Tunisia)
