Request for proposals are invited for Developing Training Module on “Vision & Confidence Building and Handholding, Mentoring & Coaching of Pvtg Households” for Community Cadres. Terms of Reference (ToR) for developing Training Module on “Vision & Confidence Building and Handholding, Mentoring & Coaching of PVTG Households” for Community Cadres from PVTG community in Jharkhand Introduction Trickle Up (TU), an international development organization formed in 1979, works across the globe in 18 countries in Asia, Latin America, and East Africa. It works with the mission to create breakthrough opportunities for the world-s poorest and most vulnerable people and resolves to drive large-scale change by partnering with governments, global institutions, and local organizations. Since our founding in 1979, Trickle Up has worked with extremely poor people, guiding over 400, 000 individuals toward greater self-reliance and stability for themselves and their families around the globe. In India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, Trickle Up has reached more than 200, 000 extremely poor women since 2014 with economic and social inclusion programming. We began working in India in 1983 and have since made it the cornerstone of our regional work, with projects in 22 districts of Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal states—and particularly in the deeply rural, isolated areas that are home to many members of scheduled castes and Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG). Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) PVTG is a sub-classification of Scheduled Tribes, who are most vulnerable in comparison to the other Scheduled Tribe communities and largely reside in isolated, remote and difficult-to-reach areas in small and scattered habitats. They depend on various livelihoods such as food gathering, hunting, livestock rearing, shifting cultivation and artisan works - mostly related to the forest. This sub-category was named "Primitive Tribal Group". In 2006 the Government of India proposed to rename the "Primitive Tribal Group" (PTG) as “Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group" (PVTG). There are a total of 75 groups identified as PVTG by the Government of India. The Government of India follows the following criteria for the identification of PVTGs: Pre-agricultural level of technology Low level of literacy Very poor economic conditions A declining or stagnant population Background Trickle Up has been working with the PVTG communities for last 5 years with the support of JSLPS. One of the strategies to reach out to the PVTG communities was through the creation of Community Cadres, who were supposed to be better positioned to understand the plight of their communities and act as enablers of change. And thus, the youths, who were better educated than the rest of the communities and were passionate to change the adversities got a chance to play this role. Purpose/Specific Objectives Trickle Up wants to hire an agency to develop a training module on “Vision & Confidence Building and Handholding, Mentoring & Coaching of PVTG Households” which refer to wide-range of personal and interpersonal skills. Intensive and tailored training is critical to equip the Community Cadres with the capacity and knowledge to motivate participants and boost their confidence. Training for Community Cadres should be easily understandable for individuals with low educational levels and should be highly interactive. Two broad objectives of this assignment are: To develop a training module to improve the knowledge and enhance the skills of the Community Cadres for: 1. building the vision and boosting the confidence of the PVTG participants 2. handholding, mentoring and coaching of the participants to build their understanding and capacity to graduate out of abject poverty To conduct ToT/Training Workshop for state-level empanelled State Master Trainers (SMTs) who will further impart training to the Community Cadres and to project staff who will assist the Community Cadres in implementation Scope of Work The selected organisation/agency/institution will conduct a dipstick need assessment/gap analysis of the Community Cadres in the program.
