About the Proposal

The Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development (MWCSD) through the Tautai Program are seeking to engage a suitably qualified and experienced Supplier to serve as the Local Governance and Decentralization Adviser. The purpose of this role is to provide expert peer review support to the Legal Adviser engaged under the District Development Program (DDP), ensuring the legal framework review and development process is informed by regional and international best practices and tailored to Samoa’s context. 

The Market Development Facility (MDF) is a multi-country Australian Government funded initiative, with locations in Fiji, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, Samoa, Tonga, and Vanuatu. MDF aims to stimulate economic growth – and hence employment and income earning opportunities for the poor and underprivileged – by making selected sectors of the economy more competitive and stimulating business innovation. MDF is implemented by Palladium Group and Swisscontact and started operations in Fiji in July 2011.

Fiji’s Outsourcing Services (OS) sector employs over 8,000 people, two-thirds of whom are women. While the sector provides strong employment opportunities for Fiji, staff retention, attendance and productivity has become a growing challenge due to inadequate childcare services. A 2019 International Finance Corporation (IFC) report estimated that employers in Fiji lose up to 12.7 workdays per employee annually due to childcare responsibilities.
MDF has partnered with Smiles for Miles (Fiji) Pte Ltd (SFM) to help develop reliable and affordable childcare services for OS workers and test the feasibility of offering childcare services as a staff incentive to improve productivity and attendance.
SFM is a privately owned and operated daycare and learning centre that offers early childhood care and learning services, based in Laucala Beach Suva. SFM is looking to expand its services and establish a 24-hour childcare service to better meet the needs of shift-based workers from Fiji’s growing outsourcing services (OS) sector.
MDF & SFM are seeking to engage a suitable Business Development Consultant (”Consultant”) on a short-term basis to conduct a business feasibility study and develop a financial model, for a 24-hour childcare service operation.
