This request for proposals is to provide assistance to GoARA in delivering intensive capacity development trainings to the GoARA senior managers. This assistance will include designing and delivering three training modules to the GoARA senior managers, including "Public Policy Analysis", "Strategic Planning - Result Based Management" and "Monitoring and Evaluation".

Proposal submission deadline: 18 October 2013.
