Purpose

The purpose of this consultancy is to support the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) to develop gender-based violence (GBV) case management training manuals to be used in training care providers to improve capacity to deliver quality services to GBV victims.

Scope of Work

The Ministry of Health through Rwanda Biomedical Center, in collaboration with partners working in GBV case management including, IntraHealth/Ingobyi Activity, recently revised the gender-based violence (GBV) case management protocol.  The aim is to improve standardization and quality of services provided to the  victims of GBV. The revised protocol provides guidance to care providers on recommended strategies for handling GBV victims, including subsequent follow up at community. It is expected to enable providers to follow the recommended procedures when handling GBV cases, and to adopt positive attitudes and practices towards GBV victims.

To equip care providers with the knowledge, skills and practices required in delivery of quality case management services to GBV victims, training is required.  However, currently training manuals do not exist.  The MoH and RBC intends to work with USAID Ingobyi Activity and other partners to develop training materials to be used in training care providers in GBV case management. It is against this background that USAID Ingobyi Activity, implemented by IntraHealth International, wishes to recruit a competent and experienced senior consultant to support MoH/RBC to develop the training manuals (guide for trainers and manual for participants).

Under the supervision of the RBC’s Maternal, Child and Community Health (MCCH) Division and USAID Ingobyi Activity’s Gender Integration team, the consultant will use the revised GBV case management protocol to design a trainer’s guide and participants manual to be used in training of care providers across the country.

• Using the revised GBV case management protocol, develop an outline of the trainer’s guide and participant manual showing the key topics to be covered.
• Based on the revised GBV case management protocol, develop a guide for trainers with clear methodology to be used by trainers in conducting training to GBV care providers.
• Based on the trainer’s guide, develop training slides to be used in training GBV care providers.
• Develop a participant manual that reflects the content of the GBV management protocol and the trainer’s guide, and communicates comprehensive information and equips learners with the requisite skills.
• Submit the training materials, including PowerPoint slides to USAID Ingobyi Activity’s Gender Integration team for review.
• Incorporate feedback from USAID Ingobyi Activity team and produce revised versions of the above training materials.
• Present revised drafts of the training materials (trainer’s guide, participant manual, and PowerPoint slides) to RBC, USAID Ingobyi Activity  and other stakeholders and partners for feedback and/or validation during a  technical working group (TWG) meeting or other similar sessions.
