The project aims at supporting gender-responsive job creation and help generating economic opportunities for women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across various productive sectors with high growth potential. Through this objective the project will be fostering the economic security, stability and prosperity of women entrepreneurs and women-led MSMEs in Lebanon. The project includes 3 main components: Component 1: Ensuring that government institutions are more responsive to women s needs through processes that are more conducive to doing business, Component 2: Ensuring that women-led MSMEs have access to the financial resources to grow and remain sustainable, Component 3: Ensuring that women-led MSMEs receive the needed technical support to increase their access to local and international markets. The project was developed in response to the multiple crises that have hit Lebanon, in particular the financial crisis which have hindered the ability of MSMEs in general and women-led MSMEs to access the needed financing to grow. With the collapse of the banking system and the resulting depletion of all sources of financing, access to finance is considered as one of the biggest impediments for MSMEs and particularly women MSMEs to develop and take their business to the next level. This has compounded to the already existing barriers women entrepreneurs have been facing namely stringent collateral requirements, high interest rates, complex documentation processes, sub-optimal financial literacy, absence of market information, etc. In light of the current situation and the ongoing conflict, and based on consultations held with WEE project beneficiaries, MSMEs are currently facing significant cash flow constraints and growing financial pressures that are affecting their ability to sustain operations, retain workers, and plan for the short and medium term. Many businesses are operating in an increasingly uncertain environment, with limited capacity to assess risks, respond to disruptions, and adopt practical financial strategies to maintain stability during crises.</p><p>This Terms of Reference (TOR) outlines the scope of work, qualifications, and expected deliverables for the Senior Trade Specialist who will be responsible.</p><p>The expert will ensure</p><p><strong>SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ANALYTICAL WORK</strong></p><p>UNDP is seeking the services of a Short-Term Individual Consultant (Senior Trade Specialist) to improve the business environment for SMEs through regulatory reform, trade facilitation, SME data centralization, and strengthening institutional mechanisms for protecting national production.
