Our team would like to inquire about the bidding process for the programs for Policy Research and Development, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Strategic Communication. Is it possible to bid for Strategic Communication alone, or does the bidding process require the encapsulation of all three (3) programs?

There are three separate tenders with different Tender numbers. Bids are to be for each of the short courses and bids for each course will be assessed separately by Tender Assessment Panels. Bidders may choose whether to bid for one or more tenders.

We have received a question:
How extensive should the training draft be? Okay to include frameworks, objectives and content or do we need to be more explicit and detailed in terms of process design.

Bidders should use the technical proposal template set out in Part D of the Request for tender documents. Most bidders will include a draft program identifying modules and setting out learning outcomes.
