Training Manual and Module Development for TOT on Conflict Resolution, Dialogue Facilitation and Mediation Skills, Leadership Skills, Conflict Analysis, and Social Harmonization Skills in the Rohingya and Host Community Context in Bangladesh

A. Background and Context
ActionAid Bangladesh (AAB) is dedicated to promoting peace, social cohesion, and capacity building among communities affected by conflict. In Bangladesh, the Rohingya refugee crisis has created significant tensions and challenges within both the refugee and host communities. To address these challenges and foster peaceful coexistence and social cohesion, AAB is launching a Training of Trainers (TOT) program for local youths/young peacebuilders from both the Rohingya and host communities. This training will focus on conflict resolution, dialogue facilitation and mediation skills, leadership, conflict analysis, and social harmonization skills of the young people. It will primarily train a pool of 50 young peacebuilders (aged 18 – 35) from diverse background and skill sets. These master trainers will step down the mandated training at the grassroots with the community level young people and their organizations, empowering young people with knowledge, skills and approaches in innovative ways.

To ensure the outcome of the training, Youth-led Peacebuilding and social cohesion Project team seeks to deploy a prospective consultancy firm and/or individual consultant to develop a comprehensive training manual and modules tailored to the unique context of both the Rohingya and host communities in Bangladesh.

The overall aim

To provide technical assistance, training, and capacity building for youth peace activities and CSOs, along with awareness sessions (e.g., on conflict resolution, dialogue facilitation and mediation skills, leadership skills, conflict analysis, social cohesion skills, etc.). The overall aim/purpose of this consultancy is to work with AAB to analyze and explore synergies of peacebuilding (PB) and social cohesion within the programming framework and develop an integrated PB/social cohesion framework and guide to facilitate AAB’s programming and implementation, as well as the security dynamics within the project area. This process should also build the capacity of staff to understand the dynamics of conflicts, security, peacebuilding, and the creation of social cohesion within program implementation, especially in a host and Rohingya operations context
