Consultancy Opportunity for Scoping Study
On Regional Tourism and Skills Development in Central Asia
The Swiss Cooperation Office in Tajikistan invites applications from qualified international and local consultants to conduct a Scoping Study on Regional Tourism and Skills Development in Central Asia (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan).
Objectives of the Consultancy:
- Conduct a scoping study to assess the potential for regional tourism development across the three Central Asian countries based on available data and additional research.
- Prepare a concept note (format to be provided) for a potential program that focuses on regional tourism and skills development.
The Government of Switzerland, through this study, seeks to explore opportunities for new interventions and to strengthen the synergies between the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) in the region and globally. The study will also propose a program concept that identifies strategic areas for collaboration, leveraging both agencies’ expertise and prior experiences.
The consultancy will involve two key components:
- Scoping Study: Analyzing tourism potential, regional skills development, and possible interventions.
- Concept Note: Outlining a program that defines roles for SDC and SECO in key areas such as policy development, infrastructure, skills training, business support, and market connectivity.
