DT Global is looking to recruit a local organization based in Zambia to work alongside DT Global to co-create and manage a comprehensive non-financial support package for the Bicycle Innovation Program, including providing support and training to local grantees on topics such as financial management, business modeling, market analysis, impact measurement, investor-readiness, pitch practice, marketing and communications, user testing. The partner will also assist with promoting the Bicycle Innovation Program locally, driving applications through their networks, hosting in-person information sessions/application clinics and helping to evaluate the applications received.

The organization will have a strong network across the startup and innovation landscape of Zambia and understanding of the local context. An excellent track record designing and delivering non-financial support programs is required.

DT Global intends to issue a single contract to one locally based organization who has the appropriate, locally relevant expertise and networks to support a cohort of grantees located in Zambia. A local non-financial support partner will also be recruited in Malawi as grantees are expected to be based in both countries. It is expected that the two partners will work collaboratively together to co-create the non-financial support package.
