Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Morocco: Mid-Level Consultant required to implement training plan for CSOS on using civil society grants mechanism.

The purpose of the Tasharoc project is to support implementation of Morocco-s Advanced Regionalisation process in the northern region of Tanger, Tétouan and Al Hoceïma (TTAH), through the provision of technical assistance and capacity building to its regional government bodies and civil society. It is structured around the following three key areas: strengthening the capacity of regional government bodies, primarily the TTAH Regional Council (RC) to better deliver on and respond to the needs of citizens; providing support to more effective service delivery, particularly on implementation and monitoring of the Plan de Développement Régional (PDR); and convening opportunities for improved dialogue and collaborative working between regional stakeholders (government institutions, civil society, media, private sector and citizens). Tasharoc is a two-year project based in Tangiers, funded by the UK Government and implemented by a consortium of DAI, NDI and Golden Resources.

Regional Council

The RC is an elected local body governed by public law and is, according to Organic Law 111-14, in charge of various development areas in the region. The RC of the TTAH region is one of the 12 regional councils in Morocco that constitute the first administrative division in the framework of advanced regionalization.

Scope of work
As part of its capacity building assistance to civil society, TASHAROC has designed a training plan with which to support CSOs in using and benefiting from the newly developed RC civil society grants mechanism. TASHAROC therefore seeks to hire a Mid-level Consultant to implement this training plan, which covers the principles of the new funding mechanism and how CSOs might access it. CSOs will also require training on how to write a solid project proposal; how to ensure gender and social inclusion are integrated into their project planning; how to develop solid monitoring and evaluation systems; general best practice in project management; human resources development; communications; ensuring ethics and accountability.

Deliverables
This support will be monitored through the following deliverables, which the consultant will be expected to submit to a high quality, according to the format and deadline set out below.
