Training Consultancy on Gender-Sensitive Parenting Skills and Conflict Transformation

1. Background:
Cambodian Health and Education for Community (CHEC) is a local non-governmental organization
officially registered at Ministry of Interior since January 2001. CHEC is implementing a project aimed
at promoting gender equality, strengthening family resilience, and fostering peaceful communities
through inclusive and transformative approaches. In many vulnerable communities, gender norms, poor parenting practices, and unresolved conflicts contribute to cycles of violence, inequality, and
intergenerational trauma. To address these challenges, CHEC is seeking a qualified consultant (or team of consultants) to design and facilitate a capacity-building program on gender-sensitive parenting skills and conflict transformation for our target communities.

2. Purpose
The purpose of this consultancy is to design and deliver a comprehensive and context-specific training
program on gender-sensitive parenting skills and conflict transformation for targeted communities and
stakeholders involved in the project. The consultancy aims to strengthen the capacity of caregivers,
community leaders, service providers, and project staff in promoting positive parenting practices that
uphold gender equality, prevent gender-based violence (GBV), and foster peaceful family and
community relationships. The consultant will also support the integration of gender-transformative and
conflict-sensitive approaches into existing community interventions, contributing to the overall goal of
enhancing the resilience, safety, and well-being of women, children, and vulnerable groups within the
project areas.
