Consultancy for Organizational Capacity Development for a Save the Children Project Implementing Partner

Terms of Reference: Consultancy for Organizational Capacity Development for a Save the Children Project Implementing Partner

1. Background


Save the Children has been operational in Kenya since the 1950s, providing support to children through developmental and humanitarian relief programmes delivered both directly and through local partners. Current programming focuses on child protection, child rights governance, education, health, HIV/AIDS, livelihoods, nutrition and WASH. In 2012, as part of a global reorganization process, Save the Children combined the programmes of SC UK, SC Canada and SC Finland to create a single operation in Kenya. In February 2014, we completed a second transition, which saw us join forces with the British INGO, Merlin, and merge their health and nutrition programmes with our own. Save the Children now has an operational presence in Bungoma, Dadaab Refugee Camp, Garissa, Mandera, Nairobi, Turkana and Wajir. 
We work through partners in many other parts of the country. We have a staff complement of around 300 staff and an operating annual budget of approximately US$25 million in 2014.

Children Lead the Way’ (CLW) is a five year program financed by DFATD for $14.9 million, started in May 2011 and running until July 2016. The goal of the program is to secure the equal rights of girls and boys to protection, education, survival and health in Bolivia, Nicaragua, Peru, Burkina Faso, and Kenya.  

In Kenya, the project is implemented through five partners some of who are local community based organizations hence the justification for organizational capacity development based on identified needs. This will ensure that partner organizations have the ability to strategically position themselves and are equipped with the relevant skills for resource mobilization and continued support for children in their communities even beyond CLW project.  A Community Based Organization based in Meru who has been implementing the project will benefit from this kind of support this year.
