VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
Advisor on Organization Development

1. Introduction
CBI has existed as a collaborative INGO project for more than seven years. Following an external evaluation in the first half of 2007, a new 3 year project and budget was developed and submitted for funding to a donor agency and OGB has committed to support this 3-year project (2007-2010). There is, among others, a clear objective in this project for National NGOs to be more effective organizationally through CBI’s Organization Development Service. To achieve this objective CBI needs to strengthen its OD consultancy capacity of its Team. Currently CBI team has a certain level of capacity in providing OD consultancy service but not up to satisfactory level. Considering the importance of providing quality service, the Steering Committee of CBI supported the initiative of CBI Team to hire an international OD Advisor to equip and strengthen its staff with knowledge, skills and experience in providing OD consultancy service. This ToR will highlight the important and key tasks for OD advisor to provide strategic and ongoing support to CBI to ensure the successful implementation of its OD outputs and additional OD services arisen from other consortium efforts.

2. Background and context
The CBI project is lead by Steering Committee (SC) and is the policy and decision-making body concerning all aspects of CBI. The Committee consists of voluntary members from interested INGOs and LNGOs.

The main management of the CBI office and its services is done by a team of salaried staff headed by a Project Manager. Up until this point the main functions of CBI have been to:

* Provide a wide range of modular and step-by step training workshops and customized (1-3 days) trainings/workshops as requested by the INGO/LNGO community and Organization Development Consultancy service. The consultancy service on Organization Development for National NGOs initially started only in 2006 with Organization Structure Review for a Local NGO and followed by series of Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) workshops. Up to now, CBI’s most frequent OD service has been facilitating OCA workshops and Strategic Planning workshop. Most of the training/workshops and all of the OCA workshops have been conducted by CBI Trainers.
* Coordinate among NGOs through the NGO cooperation meetings and provide and share information through yearly updated NGO Directories.
* Provide knowledge and information through a resource centre and newsletter.

CBI had engaged one International OD Advisor for 15 months from July 2005 to September 2006. During this period CBI conducted Future Direction Assessment for CBI along with the technical assistance of OD Advisor. OD Advisor reviewed the Governance of CBI and proposed a new Governance Structure. The structure and capacity of CBI was assessed by OD Advisor and suggested a structural change for CBI. In all those activities CBI participated and gained experience and followed the proposed changes. OD Advisor introduced concept models and practices of Organization Development to the CBI Team by providing an OD Workshop lasted for six months with 6 half-a-day workshops.

After all those activities, an implementation in accordance with the ToR, OD Advisor conducted one Training of Trainers Course particularly meant for CBI Trainers and some of NGO trainers. He arranged and organized a Manager Development Program which started from April 2006 and completed by November 2006 with 6 two-day workshops. He also led in facilitating four Organizational Capacity Assessment workshops for Local NGOs together with CBI Team members. The OD Advisor trained the CBI Team on-the-job in reviewing the Organization Structure of a National NGO from June to August 07. Through these activities; workshops and trainings, CBI Team received intensive training and coaching from the OD Advisor. Their skill and experience in OD service were enriched by participating in the series of Process Consultation Workshops provided by World Concern’s OD Advisor.

CBI has been providing valuable support to the INGO/LNGO community. NGO community, particularly National NGOs, has been growing significantly in terms of size, scope of work and geographical coverage. Therefore not only the need for capacity building for their staff has been growing but the need for the systematic development of their organization will also grow. To fulfill the needs of NGO community to some extent, CBI has recruited capable and potential staffs, particularly Trainers/consultants during 2007 and early 2008.
CBI needs to strengthen its capacity to be able to help the NGO community to develop more long term, integrated and strategic approaches to Training, Human Resource Development, and Organization Development.

This may include:

* Continuing development of its own internal capacity for other approaches to training and organization development.
* Working with different INGOs/LNGO to provide a range of Human Resource Development and Organization Development services.

The need to regularly review and improve the quality of CBI training has been recognized by the CBI Team as well as most of concerned people of CBI. More importantly, skill, experience and capacity of CBI Team in terms of Organization Development services have to be upgraded and enhanced to hands-on provision level for National NGOs. This is the critical input required from the external OD consultant during this project term.

3. Key Priorities for the assignment

a. Strategic continuous coaching and support

The external OD consultant has strategic coaching & support role to guide and equip the SC and particularly the CBI Team in the realization of the Vision “Leading organization providing quality training, consulting and facilitation services to Myanmar Nationals and Organizations working in the social development sector.
