Consultant, Board of Directors Training Platform

Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in over 70 countries to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Since 1983, Habitat for Humanity has been active in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, there are ten (10) independent national organizations in Asia-Pacific region that are governed by its own set of board of directors/trustees.

The region is marked by diverse housing challenges—ranging from rapid urbanization and natural disasters to extreme poverty and lack of access to basic services. To address these complex issues, Habitat's programs in Asia-Pacific go beyond home construction and encompass disaster risk reduction, housing finance, water and sanitation, and advocacy for policy change. As the organization continues to scale its impact and navigate increasing complexity in the sector, strong and informed governance is essential.

In this context, Habitat for Humanity Asia-Pacific seeks to invest in the continuous development of its Board of Directors/Trustees by procuring a qualified consultant or training provider to design and deliver an interactive, digital training platform. This initiative aims to orient new and current board member regarding Habitat's work in the specific country and region, the role and responsibilities of a volunteer board member/trustee, strengthen governance capabilities, enhance strategic oversight, and ensure alignment with Habitat's mission and values. The training will include integrated assessments and certification, followed by a refresher module delivered 3 to 6 months after the initial launch to reinforce key concepts and sustain board development and engagement.
