EMBASSY OF FRANCE IN NIGERIA
REQUEST FOR QUOTATION: DESIGN AND DELIVER CAPACITY-BUILDING TRAINING FOR CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS
The Embassy of France in Nigeria is looking for an organization to develop and implement a capacity building training of -20 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) which will be selected in 2025 as recipients of a fund for micro-projects implementation, the French Embassy Fund (FEF).
Eligible CSOS
Applicants to this Fund must be member of a Nigerian Civil Society Organization (associations, NGOs, cooperatives), or any non-profit-making legal person governed by private law, officially registered for at least 24 months by the Nigerian authorities;
- Community-based organizations (CBOs) from vulnerable groups, youth-led organizations and women and girls-led organizations are particularly encouraged to apply;
- Organizations that have already carried out projects in these areas for which this grant is. requested;
- The programme strongly encourages synergies, partnerships and coalitions of actors.
Scope of Work
Under the overall supervision of the French Embassy’s Cooperation and Cultural Affairs Department (SCAC), and specific follow up with the Program Officer, M. Pierre-Louis BONNEL, the organization will develop and implement a capacity building training strategically executed throughout the year 2025.
The CB designed will be designed for the recipient CSOs and will follow the calendar of the project implementation cycle of the FEF-OSC 2025
The capacity building aims to develop skills of selected CSOs beyond the sole implementation of the FEF-25, yet, the micro project management of the fund represents a “CSO incubating context”, favourable to the scaling up the empowerment of those CSOs. Hence, the capacity building providers will have to develop program, modules, hand-holding support, tools and material support reliable for each and all selected organizations.
The scope of support extends to the logistic and travels (travel, accommodation, food) for approximatively 20-35 participants to the in-person workshops, and online assistance for hybrid/online webinars. The venue for workshops can be booked and arranged in partnership. with the French Embassy’s Cooperation and Cultural Affairs Department (SCAC) and partners (for free).
Based on the need assessment filled by CSOs in the application process and under the guidance of the Embassy of France, the service provider will develop the training content.
Upon request, dates, content, topics and tools for the training sessions (workshops, webinars etc.) may be changed by the Embassy of France and the service provider shall adapt to the request.
