Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment - The Government of Nigeria has emphasized the importance of diversifying the economy, supporting sectors that have potential for growth and creating massive employment. In line with this commitment, the Government has sought and received Credit from the World Bank to help Nigeria support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) operating in different high potential sectors throughout the country. This support is being implemented under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment (FMIT&I) and operationalized in the Growth and Employment (GEM) Project.
The GEM Project Development Objective is to increase firm growth and employment in participating firms in Nigeria. The project became effective in July 2013, and will close in September 2018. The project focuses on manufacturing and service sectors, specifically supporting 1CT, entertainment, tourism and hospitality, light in manufacturing and construction. Project support addresses crosscutting sector issues, assistance to specific clusters, and more direct support to firms channeled through a platform - called the Business Innovation and Growth (BIG) Platform providing various trainings, technical assistance and grant schemes. The GEM Project intends to apply part of the proceeds of this credit to payments for consulting services.
The consulting services (‘the Services’) include implementation support to the project as regards to the daily management and coordination of all activities on the BIG Platform.
