Roma equality, inclusion, and participation (EQUIP)
Calls for applications for expert to develop an ERGO manual on campaigning
Call for expert in project management
ERGO Network is contracting an expert to design a module on organizational and project management for national and local Roma civil society organisations. The module will be part of a capacity-building handbook, covering advocacy, campaigning and project management, that aims to support ERGO Network members and their national networks in delivering better work for the fight against antigypsyism on national level.
ERGO Network
ERGO Network (www.ergonetwork.org) brings together over 30 members from across Europe and supports organisations with a common perspective on Roma grassroots empowerment and equal citizenship to challenge stereotypes and combat stigmatization. We mobilize and connect organisations and individuals that share and express our values – active citizenship, shared responsibility, and passion – to strengthen and empower Roma civil society involvement in decision-making at local, national, and European levels and to address existing shortcomings of policies targeted at Roma.
Capacity-building on project management
As part of ERGO Network’s work programme “Roma Equality, Inclusion and Participation”, funded by the European Commission’s CERV programme, we are developing a series of capacity-building tools for our member organisations.
One of them is a toolkit on the key issues of advocacy, campaigning and project management, that are fundamental to all ERGO Network members. The module to be submitted should have 15 pages (designed). The handbook will be published online by the end of 2022. Next year, a series of short online workshops will introduce the manual to ERGO Network members.
The module on project management should include guidelines, tips and templates for effective management. It will be complementary to a project management boardgame that is developed under a different project with ERGO Network members.
Role of the expert
We are searching for an expert in organizational and project management with experience in writing similar manuals.
Specifically, the expert is expected to:
- Develop an outline of the module for discussion with the ERGO Network team
- Write the module and incorporate feedback from the ERGO Network team. The deadline for finalizing the work is 15 November.
Profile:
- Excellent knowledge of and experience in organizational and project management
- Experience in working with Roma civil society organisations
- Experience in writing handbooks and training manuals
Conditions
