Consulting Firm to Mobilize, Train, and Place Youth in Jobs, Engage  Private Sector, Organize Regional Job Fairs, and Provide Media  Coverage 

Program: Youth Innovation and Employment Program (YIEP) 

1. Context and Background 

The Youth Innovation and Employment Program (YIEP), implemented by DRC, aims to reduce youth  unemployment in Tunisia through targeted training, skills development, job placement, and  entrepreneurship support. As youth unemployment remains critically high, 38.5% in Q1 2022, including  30% among university graduates, this initiative seeks to address systemic barriers such as labor market  mismatch and limited private sector engagement [Source: World Bank, ILO]. 

To further these efforts, DRC seeks to hire a qualified consulting firm to: 

• Mobilize and train youth across Tunisia. 
• Engage the private sector. 
• Organize 3–4 regional job fairs. 
• Facilitate employment and follow-up on job placements. 
• Document the process through high-quality media productions and comprehensive reporting. 2. Objectives of the Job Fair 

1. Youth Mobilization and Training: Identify and prepare at least 200 youth across target regions  to enhance employability and match labor market needs. 
2. Private Sector Engagement: Mobilize private sector actors from key sectors (ICT, agriculture,  manufacturing, green jobs, tourism) for collaboration and recruitment. 
3. Job Fairs: Organize 4 regional job fairs (Tunis/ Beja/ Sahel/ Medenine or Gabes), linking youth  with employment opportunities. 
4. Placement and Follow-Up: Ensure placement of trained youth and conduct follow-up using DRC  M&E tools.
