The business support functions in Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, Administration and IT, have been brought together into one independent, customer centric functional Centre known as the Shared Services Centre (SSC). Consequently, a Shared Services Centre was created to take over all the transactional work currently being carried out in each separate business unit. In the process, there has been significant changes and inevitably significant turnover. It is therefore of essence to create a solid and successful culture of teamwork in the Unit to establish trust, effective communication and maximization of teammate strengths. It is in this regard that the Oxfam SSC is keen to hold a team building training workshop to build on these objectives.

Oxfam Nairobi Shared Services Center (a business support function of Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, Administration and IT) is looking for a facilitator form/organization (maximum of 2 persons) that can facilitate a team building training with key deliverables as detailed in the attached Terms of Reference.

Twenty years of war in South Sudan has had adverse effects on the levels of investment in education and subsequently led to brain drain and low levels of available skilled staff in the country. There is a significant disparity in the supply of skilled, educated talent with demand increasing as the number of employers rise. Consequently, there is high competition for the limited talent leading to high staff turnover which impacts on programme quality and sustainability for most employers in the development sector.
Oxfam intends to lead on a Capacity Building initiative for its national South Sudanese staff; and to partner with other institutions/ organisations to design and implement talent development initiatives, to build on the existing national South Sudanese talent pool.
We are seeking a qualified institution or individual to design the two components (mentioned above) of the Capacity Building Programme in consultation with relevant stakeholders in Oxfam and South Sudan in general. The entire project will comprise two phases, highlighted below:Design of the two Capacity Building Programmes: - (Oxfam National Staff Capacity development plan and the integrated national staff talent development programme).
Implementation of the designed capacity building strategies and plans, through diverse interventions that will stem from the project design in phase 1.
1. Oxfam national staff development strategy and implementation plan
2. Integrated national South Sudanese capacity building plan (in collaboration with other institutions and organisations)
