SSA-LGI-13-002 For the Delivery of Specialized Training for Newly Elected Mayors and their Deputies in the West Bank

CHF International (CHF) was awarded a cooperative agreement by USAID to implement the Local Government and Infrastructure (LGI) Program CA # 294-A-00-10-00211-00 in September, 2010. The goal of the program is to promote an enabling environment for good local governance and provide the basic infrastructure necessary for sustainable improvements in the quality of life for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. LGI program will also focus on strengthening local government capacity to respond effectively and efficiently to community needs by promoting and institutionalizing good democratic governance practices, through designing and implementing capacity building, institutional development and skills enhancement support packages to a number of targeted LGUs, and to enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) to assume its regulatory, policy development, sector strategic planning, and guidance and monitoring roles.
LGI Program and in partnership with the MoLG is aiming to use the services of individual Consultants/Trainers to deliver a professional skills improvement training for the newly elected Mayors and their deputies in the West Bank in the following fields:

-Administrative issues
-Financial issues
-Legal issues
-Technical issues

The training will take place following the Municipal Elections that is planned to be held on October 20, 2012. This need stems from the fact that most newly elected bodies generally come from different practical and academic backgrounds, while the intended training is to establish a fast connection with the local government sector and its context.
A tailored training program was designed to be ready for use once the elections are held. This tailored program was designed under previous CHF program funded by the USAID. A Separate training material is available for each of the above mentioned fields, while the trainers duty will be to Aquent themselves with the material and deliver the training courses.
