Purpose: Ayiti Nexus seeks to hire the services of consultants or companies to create content and deliver a series of training workshops in specific subject areas.

About Ayiti Nexus: AYITI NEXUS envisions a thriving and inclusive society dedicated to strategic and sustainable development. With a cadre of world-class consultants who have profound knowledge of - and vast experience in - the Haitian context, Ayiti Nexus provides services that are creative, flexible and appropriate, with a focus on excellence and a commitment to providing durable and equitable solutions.

Background: Konbat Vyolans is a pilot project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Haiti with the goal of identifying local solutions in the fight against gender based violence (GBV). As one of three Haitian implementing partners, Ayiti Nexus’ main objective is to support the organizational capacity building of GBV service providers located in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince. Our approach includes providing technical assistance and training on overall institutional reinforcement, financial sustainability, among other topics. Based on needs expressed by our target group, training workshops -that will be designed and implemented by experts in close collaboration with Ayiti Nexus on various topics-, will be offered to Konbat Vyolans participants in 2018. In relevance to this request for proposals (RFP), we seek to identify service providers with the ability to deliver workshops in the areas of:

Organizational Structure
USAID Rules and Regulations
Proposal Writing
Financial Management

We especially seek to work with entities that can collaborate with our team to adapt existing material according to the needs of our audience and come up with coaching methods to reinforce the integration of information.
