Job description

Overview

Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in over 70 countries to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Since 1983, Habitat for Humanity has been active in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, there are ten independent national organizations in the Asia-Pacific region that are governed by their own boards of directors/trustees. The region faces diverse housing challenges, including rapid urbanization, natural disasters, and lack of access to basic services. Habitat’s programs in Asia-Pacific go beyond home construction and include disaster risk reduction, housing finance, water and sanitation, and advocacy for policy change. As the organization scales its impact, strong and informed governance is essential.

In this context, Habitat for Humanity Asia-Pacific seeks to invest in the continuous development of its Board of Directors/Trustees by procuring a qualified consultant or training provider to design and deliver an interactive, digital training platform. This initiative aims to orient new and current board members regarding Habitat’s work in the specific country and region, define the role and responsibilities of a volunteer board member/trustee, strengthen governance capabilities, enhance strategic oversight, and ensure alignment with Habitat’s mission and values. The training will include integrated assessments and certification, followed by a refresher module delivered 3 to 6 months after the initial launch to reinforce key concepts and sustain board development and engagement.

This TOR outlines the requirements for a qualified consultant or training provider to develop a digital, interactive learning platform with integrated assessments and certification, as well as a follow-up refresher module 3 to 6 months after the initial completion of the training.

• Providing user guides and brief orientation materials for platform use.
• Creating and delivering a refresher training module (live or digital) 3–6 months post-completion.
• Ensuring accessibility and data privacy compliance in the platform’s design and functionality.
