PART 2: THE REQUIREMENT
2.1: Background Information on Plan International
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.
We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 75 years. We have 54 Country Offices across the following regional hubs: Americas; Asia Pacific; Middle East, East, Southern & Northern Africa; West & Central Africa. We have a presence in additional countries in the form of National Organisations, which are responsible for fundraising and ensure the effective management and implementation of major grant-funded projects.
Read more about Plan International's Global Strategy: 100 Million Reasons at https://plan-international.org/strategy.
2.2: Background to this Request for Proposals
Until recently, Plan International Country Offices have adopted varying approaches to Monitoring &
Evaluation (M&E). This has led to insufficient clarity regarding the value of some programmes and
projects to beneficiaries, and inconsistent reporting to donors. There has been a need for a single
integrated approach and system.
We have therefore embarked upon a major project to strengthen our M&E activity within the
organisation. In addition to the M&E upskilling and support work which is ongoing at a regional and
country level, we are formalising best practice and ensuring data transparency via the introduction of
our first global online M&E system: Amp Impact. Built as an app on the Salesforce platform, Amp
Impact enables us to abandon monitoring via spreadsheets and to set up logical frameworks within
the system, in which the goals, activities, indicators, anticipated results and other components of a
particular project are structured. The system integrates mobile data collection (via the integrated Taro
Works tool) and provides reporting and intelligence for the organisation and for donors.
The introduction of our first online M&E system is part of a broader organisational change
programme: Programme Y.O.D.A. (Your Organisation’s Data and Analytics), which will help us
become a more data driven and transparent organisation. Through this programme, we will change
our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution; revise our processes and working practices in
relation to Finance, Grants, Programmes and Projects, and Logistics and Procurement; and develop a
new M&E solution.
In 2020, data in our new M&E system will be integrated via a Data Warehouse with data in our new
ERP solution (MS Dynamics 365).
12
2.3: Key Deliverables
Plan International is looking to select an external partner to develop instructor-led training materials
and deliver both face-to-face and virtual system training for our new online Monitoring & Evaluation
(M&E) system.
We are looking for our partner organisation to provide the following deliverables:
• Creation of learning materials to support system training for Core M&E staff and Superusers
on our new M&E system (working closely with the system developers, Vera Solutions; and
meeting the specified learning outcomes and quality standards defined by Learning &
Development at Plan International)
• Creation of assessments to support the system training
• Delivery of the following M&E system training:
o 5 face-to-face workshops of 5 days each for Core M&E staff
▪ Pilot workshop in English at a location TBC
▪ 2 workshops in English at locations TBC for Asia and Eastern/Southern
Africa
▪ 1 workshop in French at a location in West Africa
▪ 1 workshop in Latin American Spanish at a location in Latin America
o Approximately 9 sessions (15 hours) of additional virtual training for Superusers (see
Appendix 1 for more details) to be delivered to the pilot group and then to the regional
groups mentioned above.
We are looking for teamwork and continuity globally within the external training team so that
knowledge and experience gained with one learner group benefits other learners. We would prefer to
avoid the following scenario: one trainer delivers training in English, another in Spanish, and another
in French.
Training dates will depend on the confirmed deployment plan for the M&E system. We are currently
looking at most training delivery taking place May-October 2020.
Group size will be large: 20-35 participants per session.
Plan will be responsible for organising training venues and related logistics, including invitations to
participants.
Training will take place all or mostly outside Europe. Plan International will cover trainers’ reasonable
travel costs, in accordance with our travel policy.
13
2.4: Resourcing, Scope and Responsibilities
The following table shows the scope of the work required by our external training partner and the
respective responsibilities of Plan and of Vera Solutions, our system developer.
External Training Partner Plan International Vera Solutions
• Creation of instructor-led
learning materials (face to
face and virtual) to meet
the learning outcomes and
quality standards specified
by Plan International for
M&E system training
• Delivery of 5-day face-to-
face workshops for Core
M&E Staff plus virtual
training sessions for
Superusers
• Accountability for
preparation and delivery of
the system training
sessions while
collaborating with
stakeholders and subject
matter experts (SMEs) at
Plan and Vera
• General M&E
Strengthening upskilling
• Learning needs analysis
for M&E system training
(See the proposed Session
Outlines and Target
Knowledge & Skills for
each session in Appendix
1)
• Ownership of all intellectual
property relating to
materials and resources
(Plan retains the right for
future training using these
materials to be delivered
by Plan staff or other
external trainers selected
by Plan)
• Experienced M&E
specialists from Plan
International will join all
M&E system training to
answer specific questions
• Evaluation of the training
• Development of Plan’s new
M&E system on Amp
Impact (sitting on the
Salesforce platform)
• Provision of the following:
o System documentation
o Quick reference guides
for end users
o Online demos and
videos for use as self-
paced learning
• Participation as an SME in
all training
2.5: Methodology
We use the ADDIE framework:
14
Analysis and High Level Design
• We (at Plan, working closely with the system developers, Vera) have already carried out the
learning needs analysis for M&E system training and have proposed the learning solutions
listed in Appendix 1.
• We are seeking additional external resourcing only to design and deliver instructor-led training
for Core M&E staff and for Superusers. Training for other roles, e.g. Leadership, will be
managed internally.
• Training for Core M&E staff will be provided via a 5-day face-to-face workshop delivered
regionally by our external training partner.
• Additional follow-up training for M&E Superusers will be delivered via virtual sessions
facilitated by our external training partner.
• This instructor-led training will form part of a blend. Our development partner Vera will be
developing self-paced videos and demos – and Plan will be providing high level messages
and introductions to the system before the first workshop. Plan will embed the training into
business as usual (BAU) after initial deployment.
Detailed Design and Development
• Our external training partner will do the detailed design and development of the instructor-led
system training materials (face-to-face and virtual) to meet the identified learning outcomes
and standards.
• We expect our training partner to develop engaging, interactive materials, building in review,
reinforcement and consolidation. Learners will take part in: activities requiring them to
demonstrate their understanding of key concepts; hands-on systems practice; and scenarios
requiring them to make appropriate decisions as they use the system.
Implementation
• We expect our external training partners to have become expert in the Plan approach to
Monitoring & Evaluation and in the Amp Impact and Taro Works systems before delivering
systems training – though they will be supported in sessions by Plan M&E specialists and by
our development partners, Vera.
• We expect virtual sessions to be interactive, in the same way that we expect face-to-face
sessions to engage the learner.
Evaluation (Kirkpatrick Evaluation Framework)
The evaluation for the M&E system training will be undertaken by Plan International – not by the
external training provider.
Level 1 (Reaction) We will seek pilot feedback and also feedback following each regional
deployment of training to make ongoing improvements.
Level 2 (Learning)
• Our external training partner will build interactivity into training sessions so that trainers can
monitor participants’ learning and reinforce key points where required.
• Our external training partner will create online assessments (key concepts and system-based) to
accompany the training and demonstrate achievement of learning objectives.
• We at Plan are exploring additional ways of giving confidence to the business that learning has
taken place, e.g. a more formalised assessment or certification for certain roles. This is not the
responsibility of our external training partner.
15
Level 3 (Individual Behaviour Change)
As a final step of the training, we are planning to create a simulation, asking learners to use both ERP
and M&E systems for business purposes in an integrated manner.
• Staff will be given a 30 Day Challenge to encourage embedding of new habits.
• Senior/Experienced staff will use skills checklists to confirm observation of new key skills in
practice, and to identify any areas requiring additional support.
Level 4 (Business Results)
We are aiming to support achievement of the same benefits and KPIs used throughout Programme
Y.O.D.A.

APPENDIX 1: SESSION OUTLINES AND SAMPLE TARGET KNOWLEDGE &
SKILLS
M&E SYTEMS TRAINING: TARGET LEARNERS
Who is the 5 day Core M&E Training workshop aimed at?
• Most senior M&E staff (M&E Managers, M&E Specialists at Country Office)
• Regional M&E Specialists must attend the F2F Workshop
• Each Country Office is expected to fund 1-2 participants to travel to a Core M&E Workshop -
ideally able to cascade to others on their return (ideally good trainer, aptitude for digital systems)
• Project staff, e.g. Project Managers. PMs particularly need this as they will need to work across
both M&E and ERP. However, PMs are budgeted to Grants and wouldn't cascade M&E training.
NOTE: M&E and Project staff have different needs. Project staff need Monitoring - not
Evaluation.
Super User Training
• All Super Users need to attend the 5 -day Core Systems workshop - to be followed by additional
Super User training. Additional Super User training is expected to be virtual.
• Super Users (or others briefed by Super Users) will train Data Collectors.
Other Target Learners
The following groups of target learners will be trained by Plan International staff. Their training needs
are outside the scope of this RFP.
• Leadership
• National Offices
• External Partners
• Plan International staff in non-M&E roles, i.e. Comms, Disaster Recovery Management (DRM),
Business Development Managers (BDM), Sponsorship, Grants, Global Assurance (GA),
Technical Advisors (TA), IT, HR, will also need some MERL training. Their use of the system is
limited to data consumption and limited required functionality.
