The "Switching on the Green Economy" project, funded by the European Union's Switch Asia program seeks an international training service provider experienced in audit, verification, and validation through independent certification programs such as the EU Ecolabel and other sustainability-related standards and labels.
Caritas Czech Republic in Mongolia implements the "Switching on the Green Economy" project, funded by the European Union's Switch Asia program, in Mongolia from 2022 to 2025, along with 3 project partners: People in Need INGO, Mongolian Sustainable Finance Association NGO (MFSA), and Development Solutions NGO. The goal is to encourage a gradual shift to a low-carbon, resource-efficient circular economy in Mongolia. Within the project, the EU’s "farm-to-fork" strategy’s best practices in eco-labeling and green certification are introduced in selected sub-sectors of food and beverages.
In line with the project activities, the project team seeks an international training service provider experienced in audit, verification, and validation through independent certification programs such as the EU Ecolabel and other sustainability-related standards and labels. The provider should also have expertise in training on topics such as the ISO 14020 standards and ESG issues, including water, energy, waste, greenhouse gas (GHG), and sustainability management.
The selected training provider will support the development and implementation of 1) product/process-based environmental labelling scheme and 2) a production-based Environment, Social Governance (ESG) assessment to verify circular economic actions adopted by agri-food micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Additionally, the provider will train local verifiers to audit businesses aligned with the new environmental labelling scheme in Mongolia. The total working time will be 29 working days including 10 working days of in-country time required for the tailored training service.
