 Organisational Background
BRAC was established by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed in 1972 after the independence of Bangladesh and is present in all 64 districts of Bangladesh as well as 10 other countries in Asia and Africa. It is the largest non-governmental development organisation in the world in terms of the number of employees.

4.            Scope of Work

BRAC International is seeking an experienced consultant to design and deliver a comprehensive leadership development program for its Senior Management Team (SMT) across East and West Africa. The consultancy will begin with focused group discussions and consultations with SMT members and Country Directors to identify key leadership challenges. These insights, alongside a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) administered by BI’s Learning & Development (L&D) team, and a review of organizational documents (such as BI’s strategic plan and core values), will inform the design of a leadership training program aligned with the organization's priorities. The program should integrate leadership behaviours and competencies, and embed principles of gender dynamics and feminist leadership.

The consultant will facilitate two five-day, in-person workshops—one for each regional SMT cohort—using participatory adult-learning methods. This will be followed by a virtual cross-regional learning exchange and three virtual group coaching sessions over six months to support continued growth and application. Additional responsibilities include developing an Individual Development Plan (IDP) tool, proposing post-training learning mechanisms, and delivering a final evaluation report assessing learning outcomes and strategic recommendations. All work must be participatory, contextually grounded, and responsive to BI’s evolving leadership development needs.

5.            Expertise Required

The ideal consultant will possess a blend of expertise and skills critical for the success of this learning journey:

●     Leadership Development Expertise: Deep understanding of leadership principles and experience in developing leadership capabilities within INGOs or similar organizations.
●     Training Design & Delivery: Skill in designing engaging training programs and delivering them effectively. Familiarity with adult learning theories and the ability to create an interactive learning environment are essential.
●     Curriculum Development: Proficiency in developing structured training curricula and materials tailored to identified needs and competencies.
●     Coaching & Mentoring: Experience in providing coaching or mentoring, especially group coaching, to reinforce learning and facilitate behavioral change in participants.
●     Program Evaluation: Ability to design and implement evaluation tools to measure training outcomes, analyze data, and draw insights on program impact.
●     Stakeholder Engagement: Strong interpersonal skills to engage with participants at senior management levels, and the ability to work collaboratively with BRAC International’s staff and stakeholders.
●     Cultural Competence: Sensitivity to cultural differences and experience working in multicultural settings, ensuring that training content and delivery are relevant and respectful across diverse country contexts.
●     Organizational Insight: A solid grasp of NGO operations and challenges, enabling the consultant to contextualize leadership and management concepts to the realities of country program implementation.
