Psychosocial Support Curriculum Development for Persons with Specific Needs (consultancy)

RFP/LEB/21/010

FOR

DANISH REFUGEE COUNCIL (LEBANON)

Background:

The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future. We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and whenever possible – for the fulfilment of the wish to return home.

The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956, and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers. Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced.

All of our efforts are based on our value compass: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.

Operating since 2004 in Lebanon, DRC has addressed the needs and rights of vulnerable populations, working initially with Palestinian refugees (since 2004), Iraqi refugees (2007-2010), Lebanese IDPs (during the 2006 conflict), migrant domestic workers (since 2009) and, since 2011, responding to the Syrian refugee crisis.

Objectives:

The overall objective of this consultancy is to provide technical and field support to strengthen DRC’s institutional capacity, strategies, and interventions particularly in providing PSS support to PWSN, with a particular focus on inclusive, relevant and accessible curriculum development for the elderly, and PWDs. The purpose will be to lead the development and refinement of curricula to support non-focused and focused PSS activities, using best practices and standards, and the development of an intake procedure for group sessions, ensuring that our outreach and identification strategies are inclusive and tailored towards these specific vulnerable groups.

The consultant should also train the PSS teams on the provision of the PSS curricular.
