Scope of Work – Training consultant on resource mobilization for CSO networks in the Gavi CSO 
Project 2015 
 
Scope of Work 
Gavi Civil Society Strengthening Platform (Gavi CSO) 
Catholic Relief Services 
 
Background 
The  Gavi  2011-2015  Strategy  and  Business  Plan  describes  four  strategic  goals  in  support  of  Gavi’s  mission  to  increase 
access to immunization to underserved populations in poor countries. National networks of civil society organizations (CSO) 
contribute to this under goal 2: “Contribute to strengthening the capacity of integrated health systems to deliver immunization” 
with a program objective of “promoting active engagement of CSOs”. The project supports the establishment of national civil 
society platforms in Gavi-priority countries around the world. These platforms advocate for improved immunization coverage 
and stronger health systems within their countries. Direct funding and technical support assists them to access Gavi Health 
System Strengthening grants and, through that, to strengthen their government`s planning, implementation and monitoring for 
immunization. 
 
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) acts as the grants manager for the project with oversight and technical support provided by the 
Gavi  Civil Society  Organization Constituency Steering Committee’s  and  Oversight and  Advisory Group.  Grant recipients in 
2015 include CSO platforms in Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 
Guinea, Haiti, India, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, 
Togo, Uganda, and Zambia.  
CRS seeks 1-2 consultants to build the capacity of CSO networks to mobilize resources and achieve financial sustainability 
through two three-day training workshops, one conducted in English and one conducted in French. Applicants may propose to 
deliver one workshop or two (note the variance in day estimates, below). While the consultant is asked to propose an agenda, 
it is expected that the training will include the following topics: 
  Funding models/structures for networks 
  Promotion and fundraising 
  In-kind contributions 
  Donor mapping 
  Capture funding and pre-positioning 
  Member-generated resources 
  Selling services

  Participants are guided to develop a draft funding strategy for their network 
 
Reporting and Work Relationships 
The consultant will report to the Gavi CSO Program Manager and work closely with the team members for logistics for this
