Preamble

It is the intent of this RFP to secure competitive proposals to select a provider for online learning for employees based globally in all its offices.

Technical Requirements

The areas of management development to focus on are:
- Goal-setting & planning; empowering team members to complete work objectives on time and coordinate activities
- Understand ways of motivating and coaching team members; dealing with under‐performance and providing constructive effective feedback and being open to hear feedback; managing conflict, creating an empowering and motivating work environment.
- Building self-awareness and personal productivity (incl. time management)
- Increasing influence & communication skills
- Problem-solving skills
- Self-management & stress management
- Understanding organisational culture & values and their role in creating and nurturing it
Audience and numbers. Malaria Consortium has 550 employees based in 11 offices across Africa and Asia. The audience taking part in this training will be senior level managers in the country programmes, those with a reporting line to the Country Director. Depending on the Country context this may also include those managing larger projects who do not report directly to CDs but are manging large teams or CDs of smaller country programmes.
This group of managers have not had opportunities in the past to grow in their management role but are aspiring to do more and to grow skills in this area. It is important for them to have a common understanding of what it means to be an effective manager in MC and have the confidence to know how to fulfil the expectations of this role. It is expected that between 25 – 30 managers will be attending.
Country Directors and line managers of those attending will be involved in the programme by supporting the: selection process, identification of individual areas of focus and provision of feedback.
Most employees will have access to internet however in some countries the internet connectivity is unstable and/or very slow. Therefore a combination of learning approaches will be beneficial.
The proposal should include your approach to evaluating the programme on behalf of MC and any in- house evaluation can be performed.
The training material must be able to be hosted on Malaria Consortiums learning management system, Totara. Alternative hosting will be considered, but may be seen as a disadvantage in the selection process.
