Hiring consultant/consulting firm to Stakeholder Mapping, Market and Skills Analysis

Founded over 80 years ago, Plan International is one of the oldest and largest children's development organizations in the world. Plan International plays an important role in mobilising children, communities and civil society organisations to claim the rights of children and achieve agreed upon local development priorities, towards a commitment to ensuring the wellbeing of children in support of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Plan International works in fifty-two developing countries across Africa, Asia and the South America, and twenty-one countries raise funds to support these efforts. Plan International's stated Global Strategic Goal is to reach as many children as possible, particularly those who are excluded or marginalized, with high-quality programs that deliver long-lasting benefits. Children are at the heart of everything we do.
Plan International started its operation in Bangladesh in 1994. Presently under country strategy IV Plan International Bangladesh is implementing programmes in six thematic areas. In recent years, as part of its country strategy Plan International Bangladesh has focused more to implement projects on sexual and reproductive health issues among youths.

In that continuation, Plan International is implementing a 3.5-year Project named ‘Innovative Pathways for Employment Inclusion’ (IPEI). Funded by the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID), the project aims to increase the wellbeing and inclusion of people with disabilities living in urban locations in Bangladesh and Kenya by supporting them into waged employment.
Taking an integrated approach, the project strategy will work at multiple levels to bring about effective and sustainable change to disabled people’s well-being and inclusion. It will work to improve national systems and policies to ensure there is an enabling environment for equal access to private sector employment; support employers to change their attitudes and practices towards inclusive employment and ensure their workplaces are accessible and inclusive; and with people living with disabilities to develop the skills needed to enter employment through training and access to internship opportunities.

Under this backdrop, Plan International Bangladesh has planned for Stakeholder Mapping, Market and Skills Analysis. To Stakeholder Mapping, Market and Skills Analysis a consultant/consulting firm will be engaged on behalf of Plan International Bangladesh as per this Terms of Reference (TOR).
