Tenders are invited for Service Provider to Provide Training in Public Speaking & Presentation Skills for Communities Announcement Description The Climate Resilience for All (CREFA) project is a fouryear initiative (February 2024January 2028) under Oxfams Natural Resource Governance (NRG) Program, funded by the Government of Ireland through the Embassy of Ireland in Vietnam. Implemented by Oxfam in Cambodia and nine consortium partners, the project focuses on climatesmart agriculture, renewable energy, resilience building, and policy engagement. Its overall aim is to reduce climate vulnerability through a twintrack approach, strengthening policy dialogue, and enhancing local community capacity. CREFA works across Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey, Siem Reap and Preah Vihear provinces directly engaging with 19 community forests and community protected areas, five community fisheries, and two community solar irrigation systems. Building the skills and confidence of these communities is essential to ensuring long term sustainability and independence beyond donor support. Community fisheries, forest and protected area leaders serve as key agents of change. They mobilize community members, advocate for sustainable resource management, and engage with government institutions, CSOs, donors, and development partners. Yet many face challenges in communicating effectively, particularly in formal settings where influential decisions are made. Strengthening their public speaking and presentation abilities is therefore critical to improving their advocacy, influencing power, and representation in governance processes. Key challenges currently limiting their communication effectiveness include: Limited exposure to formal speaking environments Difficulty expressing technical or policy issues clearly Low confidence and stage presence Difficulty structuring key messages Limited experience with visual aids and technology Challenges responding to questions or feedback Cultural and gender related barriers to assertive communication Expected Outputs Service Provider to Provide Training in Public Speaking & Presentation Skills for Communities Career Category: Consultancies Location:Siemreap Province Summary Start date: June to August 2026 Assignment location: Training will be conducted in Siem Reap province, Cambodia PURPOSE OF THIS ASSIGNMENT The purpose of this assignment is to seek for service provider (individual consultant, organisation, or firm) to provide training on Public Speaking and Presentation Skills Training for Community Leaders under Climate Resilience for All (CREFA) project.
