Consultancy summary Community Score Card methodology: The Community Score Card (CSC) is a participatory social accountability tool that enables communities particularly refugee and marginalized groups to engage constructively with service providers and duty bearers to improve the quality, accessibility, and accountability of education services. Through community scoring, service provider self-assessment, and interface dialogue, the CSC generates evidence-based feedback, strengthens trust, and supports joint action for sustainable education outcomes. The methodology combines community-generated scorecards and service provider self-assessments, followed by interface meetings that foster mutual understanding, problem-solving, and joint action planning. The CSC process strengthens local ownership, enhances trust between communities and duty bearers, and supports sustainable improvements in education outcomes. In refugee-hosting contexts, CSC is particularly relevant for amplifying community voice, strengthening social cohesion, and influencing education system responsiveness. To this end, War Child Canada seeks to engage a qualified consultant or consultancy firm to deliver a four-day CSC training for Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) and War Child Canada staff, and to provide technical support for CSC implementation across nine refugee-hosting districts. The consultancy will strengthen participants capacity to apply the CSC methodology in the education sector as a tool for advocacy and systems strengthening. The assignment includes a practical training and a one-day simulation exercise to ensure participants are adequately prepared to independently facilitate CSC processes and translate findings into effective, evidence-based advocacy at local and sub-national levels. Purpose of this consultancy: The purpose of the Community Score Card (CSC) training is to strengthen the capacity of Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) and War Child Canada staff to effectively apply the CSC methodology within the education sector as a participatory accountability and advocacy tool, which will enable them to generate evidence, engage duty bearers, and influence improvements in education service delivery in refugee-hosting districts. Specifically, the training will strive achieve the following objective: To equip RLOs and WCC staff with practical skills to design, facilitate, and document CSC processes in the education sector which will be demonstrated through a one-day simulation exercise.
