Project Background:
ACTED has been fundraising for implementing activities tackling period poverty/menstrual hygiene issues. As a part of this, ACTED plans to support a community-based entity to set up a manufacturing facility for the production of menstrual hygiene products in Tripoli. The project will provide support for equipment and raw materials, as well as staffing support for operations and sales for 3 months. ACTED will additionally support the selected entity by preparing and organizing awareness sessions for women in local communities on menstrual health and hygiene.
Objective of the Call for Expression of Interest:
ACTED is seeking expression of interest from local entities interested in operating the facility for production of menstrual hygiene products. The local entity may include NGOs/SMEs/Cooperatives or other types of organizations with registration in Lebanon. ACTED will transfer in-kind assets including equipment and raw materials to the local entity. Further, trainings will also be provided on operation and maintenance of the equipment. Additional support may also be provided to cover overheads. Finally, ACTED will support in identifying and recruiting workers for operation and sales for a period of 3 months.
Scope of the Project:
The manufacturing facility will be located in Tripoli. Therefore, entities applying are requested to describe presence in this city, and provide examples of previous work implemented in this or similar areas.
Targets To Be Achieved:
ACTED will work with the entity in setting up monthly production targets. A percentage of the produced items may also be distributed to vulnerable households in the area. ACTED will also work with a consultant to support the entity in setting price points for the manufactured products which should be affordable to vulnerable community groups with limited income
