The objective of project support partnerships (PS-P) is to enhance SECO’s Trade Promotion Section (WEHU) by strengthening its operational capacities and knowledge base, improving trade promotion performance and sustainability. PS-P will bolster WEHU’s project cycle capabilities – identification, preparation, steering, and evaluation – with substantive technical inputs. Additionally, PS-P will refine intervention strategies, providing specific insights on WEHU’s positioning in areas like international value chains and the WTO's impact on developing countries. PS-P aims to amplify the development impact of WEHU’s trade promotion operations.

Thereafter, the contracting authority will decide whether the tenderer will be obliged to replace the persons concerned within 14 days with persons who meet the requirements.
