Tenders are invited for Facilitators of KNH Capacity Development Processes in Child Rights Programming With a Focus on Advocacy. Location: Kigali Deadline: Sunday, 19/07/2026 23:59 Kindernothilfe, a Germany-based child rights organisation, is looking for an experienced facilitator with an expertise in (policy) advocacy to enlarge our pool of facilitators who want to support us in conducting capacity development processes for our partner organisations on topics of child rights programming, such as Human Rights and Child Rights Approach, Child-Rights Situation Analysis, Theory or Change, Project Planning, etc. For the upcoming training in quarter 4 of 2026, KNH is looking specifically for a facilitator with a strong expertise on advocacy in connection to the Child Rights Approach. We aim at working together with facilitators ideally for a longer period of time and at cooperating closely in the capacity development with different training modules, which were developed by Kindernothilfe e. V. 1. Kindernothilfe Kindernothilfe e. V. (KNH) is a Non-Governmental Organisation founded in 1959 (see www.kindernothilfe.org). KNH works with non-governmental organisations and their networks in 36 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe to realize and protect childrens rights. KNH reaches out to 2.2. million children to help them access sustainable opportunities to grow and to develop to their full potential. In Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxemburg KNH engages in awareness raising, education, training & consulting and advocacy relating to development policies and particularly to the implementation of the Child Rights Convention. KNHs strategic direction and engagement is based upon Christian values. KNHs vision is a world, where all children enjoy their rights regardless of their social, economic, political and religious background. 1.1 The KNH Programme and Coordination Structure in Rwanda KNH has been actively cooperating with partner organisations in Rwanda since 1994. Currently, KNH works with three partner organisations in direct partnership who are implementing projects in different provinces. The projects have different focus areas of work, such as Education, Health and Nutrition, Prevention of Sexual violence and Women Empowerment for Child rights protection through Self Help Group Approach (SHGA). KNH also works with four indirect partner organisations who are in sub granting partnership with the SHGA National Coordination Officer in Rwanda. The Rwanda programme is coordinated by the In-Country-Coordination team and colleagues based in Germany. 1.2. The KNH Child Rights Programming Strategy and its Objectives In 2019 KNH took the decision to elaborate and implement a Child Rights Programming (CRP) Strategy. It is our understanding and conviction that the application of the child rights approach in projects can make a difference by achieving significant changes in the living conditions of children and the exercise of their rights. For KNH Child Rights Programming (CRP) is the way for partners of putting the child rights approach into practice in their programme and project work by using specific and adapted methods and tools within each phase of the project cycle, for example a child rights situations analysis. Thus, KNH understands CRP for itself in the following way: Child Rights Programming means the application of child rights principles in the planning, implementation and monitoring of projects and programmes, with the overall aim of improving the situation of children, so that they can fully enjoy their rights and live in societies where childrens rights are recognised and respected. 1.3. KNH Child Rights Programming Capacity Development for Partner Organisations The focus of the capacity development is to empower and support partner organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America/Caribbean to plan and implement even stronger child rights-based projects and programmes. This capacity development programme implies a combination of workshops and practical application within the programmatic processes of the partners after the workshops. KNH has so far developed seven modules along the project cycle which are: Human Rights & Child Rights Approach to Programming (HR&CRA) Meaningful Participation Child Rights Situation Analysis (CRSA) Theory of Change (ToC) Project Planning and Design (PD) Monitoring (with submodules SM1, SM2, SM3) Advocacy With this specific call we are looking for a facilitator for the module on advocacy for capacity building ofthree direct partner organisations in Rwanda with possible participation of two to three partners from Uganda and Burundi. The module is implemented as a pilot training in Rwanda and KNH is expecting a detailed reflection of the module materials in order to improve them for future trainings. The workshop will be conducted in-person by trained facilitators with a background in child rights programming and advocacy. Where needed, a second facilitator may be recruited to bring a full complement of knowledge, skills and expertise and to ensure smooth delivery and participant support. Where two facilitators are involved, responsibilities will be shared and planned in advance to ensure consistency, complementarity and a seamless training experience. All modules consist of a comprehensive toolkit including pre-reading lists for partners, facilitator plans, information and worksheet handouts, powerpoint presentations, etc. Of course, all modules need to be contextualised and adapted by the facilitators for the respective group of participants and country context. After each training workshop the participating organisations will enter into an application phase to make use of the training in their work. The facilitator(s) will accompany the organisations in this phase by face to face visits or online support depending on the specifics. The target groups of the trainings are the staff of KNH partner organisations at management, programme and field work levels. 1.4. Purpose and Expected Results The participating partner organisations from Rwanda and possibly Uganda and Burundi will already have successfully participated in many of the modules within the Child Rights Programming Capacity Development process. This module is planned to take place in September or October 2026 in Musanze or comparable location in Rwanda. The partners will use the learnings of the workshops to develop a project-specific advocacy strategy and implement it during the ongoing KNH-funded projects. 2. The National Facilitator KNH is looking for a professional with local expertise in advocacy (at community, national, regional and international level), who is interested in accompanying partner organisations throughout the capacity development process of the advocacy module. This encompasses preparation and implementation of contextualised module training including individual mentoring of partners during the workshop as well as planning and implementing the post workshop backstopping phases for all partners (individually and/or in small groups) for supporting and facilitating the elaboration of an Advocacy strategy and action plan on project level as well as the first steps of implementation after the training. 2.1. Specific Tasks for the facilitation of the advocacy module: Participation in an orientation session on the advocacy module conducted online by KNH Thorough familiarisation with the Facilitators Guide, Module slides and Resource Pack Preparatory meeting between facilitators and KNH country teams (Country Coordinator and other ICC/ in-country coordinator, Country Desk and technical working groups at KNH headquarter) Contextual adaptation of workshop content in consultation with the country team Sharing of preparatory documents with the participants Guiding participants through the face-to-face training sessions using the facilitators guide, the slide pack for each workshop day and the tools provided in the resource pack.
