The Green Recycling Enterprises Engaging in New Technology for a Circular Economy in Zambia
(GREENTech4CE) project is a € 22.7 million initiative funded by the European Union. The Project is
implemented by Self Help Africa (“SHA”) in consortium with Imani Development (International) Ltd
(“IDIL”), Prospero Limited (“Prospero”) and Tandem Circular Consulting (“Tandem”).
The GREENTech4CE project is dedicated to fostering sustainable and inclusive economic growth in
Zambia supporting the development of start-ups and MSMEs within the green, circular economy and
digital sectors and/or that are seeking to implement or transition to green, circular and digital business
models. Through comprehensive technical and financial support, GREENTech4CE will drive innovation,
create employment opportunities, and facilitate economic diversification. This project operates under
the broader Green Economy Promotion and Diversification (GEPD) Project, which seeks to address
Zambia’s economic vulnerabilities and environmental challenges. Together, these initiatives strive to
build a resilient and sustainable future for Zambia.

INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
The role of the Project Investment Committee (IC) is to support the evaluation of SME grant applications
to ensure that there is impartial, effective and impactful allocation of funds. The committee acts as a
decision-making body that reviews, assesses, and makes critical recommendation for the approval of
applications based on the GREENTech4CE operations manual.
ROLE OF INDEPENDENT ADVISORS
The main purpose of the Independent Investment Advisors is to provide technical leadership support
on the Investment Committee in scrutinising, reviewing and qualifying shortlisted applications
submitted by the project team and recommend selected investments for approval and funding to the
Project Technical Committee.
LEVEL OF EFFORT AND REMUNERATION
The Independent Investment Advisors will be appointed for a 2-year period and members will be
required to meet for approximately 10 days per call and will be remunerated EUR350 per day. Travel
and accommodation expenses will be covered by the project. Please note that selection to the pool
does not mean that all advisors will work on all calls as each call will need only one advisor. The Project
Team will nevertheless endeavour to balance allocation of work packages.
