Consultant – Capacity Building on Results-Based Reporting

RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES
IOM Regional Office seeks to create a training curriculum on results-based reporting. This training should be designed for either an in-person or virtual environment. The training curriculum will be based on recommendations of assessment reports as well as supported by existing materials on results-based reporting. The pilot training should be facilitated by the consultant with the support of at least two IOM staff.
The assignment will include creation of training resources and adaptation of existing materials, in coordination with RO Nairobi, by integrating elements specified by IOM from other materials and training resources and by adding additional content related to the use of PRIMA to be provided by IOM to meet prevailing needs. The individual training resources, exercises and presentations may require some further modifications.
It is important to balance the requirements of this training together with the existing workload of participants. The consultant will be expected to suggest how to strike this balance; below are some suggested criteria to consider for service provider’s proposals:

Delivery of the training: The facilitator-led training should be developed for both in-person and virtual environments that would include some independent preparation/study from the participants, facilitator-led plenary, and group work.
Pre-training questionnaire: The consultant will be required to create and integrate a pre- and post- training questionnaire into the training to record changes in knowledge
Duration of the training: IOM estimates that the training should be done over the course of 8 hours
Modules: each session should not last more than 2 hours at a time for easy conversion into an online classroom
Preparation Work: In addition to the facilitator-led, participants should be expected to undertake exercises prior to the training
Group work: Some group exercises should be expected during the online delivery and possibly offline between webinars
Adaptation of practical exercises: The practical exercises should be adapted as best as possible in the virtual setting to ensure that participants have an opportunity to practice
In so far as possible, continuous assessment: robust, continuous, and innovative assessment exercises/tests should be integrated along the course covering both the theoretical and the practical components of the training programme.

Technical requirements
IOM has access to the Office 365 suite (OneDrive, MS Teams, OfficeForms etc), Kahoot, Mural, Slido and zoom which is one of the official tools used by IOM for virtual training sessions. For the asynchronous individual or group activities/tasks, IOM’s learning management system3 can be used as the learning platform.
Other software can be suggested by the consultant and use of which will need to be confirmed with IOM to ensure that it is compliant with IOM regulations.
IOM Regional Office Nairobi will provide continued guidance to the consultant throughout the process to ensure proper adaptation. During the pilot, IOM will provide logistical and technical support for the planning and roll out
The consultant will be responsible for adapting existing materials & developing new materials and delivering the pilot training with one or several IOM co-facilitator(s): The following deliverable are required from the selected consultant in English:

Inception report should be provided outlining the course adaptation to be agreed to with IOM contact person
The training materials: this may include the PowerPoint (if any) used during the sessions, the materials that participants have to review or other materials for each webinar expected during the training (based on existing materials), including pre- and post-work
