Description:
We invite eligible and experienced consultants or consulting firms to submit proposals for providing strategic planning services to six non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Kyrgyzstan. The goal is to facilitate a comprehensive strategic planning process for these NGOs to enhance their effectiveness and contribute to democratic governance. The Civic Engagement for Development (CED) project, in alignment with the Swiss Cooperation Programme for Central Asia 2022-2025, is actively supporting civil society in fulfilling its role as an independent development actor and a partner of the authorities. This project aims to promote increased citizen participation, strengthen NGOs to advocate for democratic reforms, drive social change, and amplify the voices of marginalized citizens, including those from left-behind groups.

• Developing a customized workplan (including milestones) and timeline for each NGO’s strategic planning process. • Facilitating stakeholder engagement processes, including workshops, retreats, and feedback sessions.
• Guiding the organizations in building consensus and alignment around their future direction.
• Supporting the NGO in putting in place accountability/representativity processes to ensure alignment of the NGO leadership (board members, key stakeholders) and constituencies/members.
• Supporting NGOs in preparing a written strategic plan, including goals, objectives, and key performance indicators.

1. Comprehensive Strategic Planning Process Outlines tailored for each NGO.
2. Facilitated Stakeholder Engagement Sessions and Workshop Reports.
