Strengthening Rural Youth Development through Enterprise (STRYDE) Regional
General Information
TechnoServe (TNS) is a nonprofit international development organization founded in 1968. Its mission is to help entrepreneurial men and women break the cycle of poverty by building businesses that create jobs, income, and economic opportunities for their families, their communities, and their countries.
Our work focuses on identifying promising business opportunities with a positive economic role for and impact on the rural poor. Our approach is based on hiring high-performing people who share our vision of private sector solutions to generate sustainable solutions to poverty. We believe in hard work, creativity, and leveraging the dynamism of talented people.
We are committed to innovation, learning, and results, with a global team drawn from world-class industry and management consulting firms. We are currently working in more than 20 countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
Purpose
Develop training modules for the Strengthening Rural Youth Development through Enterprise (STRYDE) program, a regional youth enterprise development program designed to enable 15,000 rural youth aged 18 to 30 to have a more successful transition into economically independent adulthood, increasing their opportunity, ability and motivation to engage in income-generating activities.
The training modules created will be part of a 3 month training program delivered to rural youth by rural youth trainers across East Africa.
TechnoServe is seeking applications from interested and qualified consultants to design individual modules, which will be 12-16 hours in total and delivered as 3-4 hour sessions. All finalized modules need to include facilitator’s guides, participant workbooks and appropriate learning materials including interactive activities and games.
The purpose of the 3 month’s training is to help youth develop skills and abilities that improve their income-generation potential over the long term, increase their ability to adapt and respond to ever-changing economic conditions with confidence, and ultimately help them to become active contributors and financially independent members of society.
The specific knowledge, behaviors and skills that each module will have are currently being identified in a needs assessment process which will be completed by November 30th 2011.
We are targeting to develop training for the following modules:
They will have the opportunity to enhance their curriculum design skills and to receive coaching from the lead STRYDE curriculum designers on the accelerated learning methodology, which leverages current research about the brain and learning, and will be used to develop the STRYDE training program.
During the workshop, as the accelerated learning design cycle and fundamental concepts are explored, designers will have the opportunity to apply this learning directly to the STRYDE modules they are developing. A rough outline of at least one module will be completed by the end of the workshop.
