Statement of Work

General
Danish Refugee Council (DRC), one of the world’s leading humanitarian NGOs, is currently looking for a highly qualified consultant/consultancy company to conduct a Hygiene Promotion Training of trainers for DRC Staff in Nigeria funding by OFDA.
Background and Motivation
Since 2015, DRC has been implementing humanitarian activities in three states in Nigeria, which are Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, to bring lasting solutions to the humanitarian crisis which has worsened because of armed conflict. Several programs have been implemented, such as WASH, shelter, protection, risk education, livelihood, and armed violence reduction. Since December 2019, the COVID-19 health crisis has affected become a global humanitarian crisis. This crisis has significantly impacted the living conditions of all but especially the most vulnerable populations namely those living in displacement.
Therefore, DRC Nigeria’s programme strategy is currently articulated around the provision of WASH, health, and protection to the vulnerable population in the context of COVID-19 under OFDA funding. While responding to the most pressing needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs), DRC will raise awareness of vulnerable people on COVID-19 concerns.
