Job description

Consultancy Overview

Free the Slaves has developed three (3) training modules - Module 1 - Educating and Mobilizing Vulnerable Communities, Module 2 - Survivor Liberation, Care and Reintegration, and Module 3 - Rule of Law and in the process of completing the fourth module - Ensuring Access to Essential Social and Economic Services . As part of its new strategic direction, FTS is shifting its training and capacity building work to an online platform. FTS has developed an online version content of the modules but there has been some challenges in executing practically. In addition, trainers and trainees are not able to follow carefully while training delivery is ongoing - content sequencing is not well coordinated in the online version that was developed.

For example, the use of flip chat, participant having a gallery walk, "packing lot" for burning questions etc. The technical consultant will play a critical role in designing the online version for FTS community liberation modules (toolkit) and supporting FTS in its organizational adaptation to expanding its online work and strategy.
