Background |
|
The UNDP Bratislava Regional Centre (UNDP BRC) for Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is looking for an experienced international consultant to conduct training on strategic programming for development cooperation providers in Europe and CIS. The training will be dedicated mostly for the staff of Ministries of Foreign Affairs and development agencies from Europe and CIS, while limited participation is expected from NGOs/private sector. Several counties have recently joined the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development/Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC), namelyCzech Republic, Slovakia and Poland), other countries are interested in meeting the high international standards of official development assistance (ODA) delivery set by the DAC. In order to achieve this, they need the support from the international community to strengthen their capacities. During the technical workshop jointly organized by the World Bank Institute, UNDP and the European Commission in partnership with the Corvinus University of Budapest (June 13-14, 2012, Budapest), a thorough assessment of existing capacity building practices and needs of European emerging donors was carried out. A strong demand was expressed by development aid providers from the region to further support building of their capacities by conducting practically oriented trainings on selected topics. See more in Annex I Concept Note. Project countries In 2014, UNDP Regional Centre for Europe and CIS is planning to design and conduct 5 on-demand capacity building activities for emerging development cooperation providers in Europe and CIS. The participants will primarily include staff of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, line ministries, and development cooperation agencies. The need for such activities has been expressed by two development cooperation providers from among the EU Member States (Czech Republic and Romania), but the activities will be open to representatives from other countries, including but not limited to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Slovak Republic, Turkey, Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and representatives of more advanced donors. General training description The envisaged capacity building activities will comprise 5 thematic modules identified and specified in consultation with participating institutions and based on a review of needs and existing practices in management and programming of official development assistance in the participating countries as well as from first training feedback. Each activity will consist of a technical training conducted by the international consultant and possibly another external resource person, and a knowledge exchange/peer-learning component with development agencies, ministries and non-state entities as observers, particularly from among the more experienced development cooperation providers. Each activity should be intensive and practical in nature and be carried out in approximately 2 days with approx. 30 participants. The list of thematic modules to be addressed by the set of capacity building activities in 2014 is as follows:
