Request for Proposal For BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TRAINING CONSULTANT

Objectives: DRC is seeking to appoint a Business development support-training consultant, (Company or individual)

  For the following objectives:

 The Business development support-training consultant will be responsible to revise the existing business development support (BDS) materials and tools, and to adapt them to the Lebanese context if and when relevant. The consultant will be in charge of adapting and/or creating a new module as part of the existing BDS curriculum: a module on contingency for businesses, to adapt to the economic crisis and covid-19 context.

The consultant will also be responsible to develop a short training (about one or two days) for the DRC field staffs who will be in charge of supporting and providing business development support to the MSMEs. The training provided and the revision of tools (and creation of some modules whenever needed) will have to focus on strategic planning and sustainability of the supported MSMEs. The assistance provided to the MSMEs should indeed revolve around strategic planning and sustainability of these MSMEs. Finally, the consultant should provide this training to the DRC staffs in a practical way in order to make them ready for implementation.

The already existing curriculum of DRC and various documents will be shared with the consultant.

The training will, pending the covid19 situation, be done either remotely or face-to-face.
