Introduction and Background

Concern Worldwide is a non-governmental, international, humanitarian organization dedicated to the reduction of suffering and working towards the ultimate elimination of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries. Concern has been working in Turkey since August 2013 and is a registered NGO with the Government of Turkey with its main office in Sanliurfa Province.

Since 2013, Concern has increased its programing areas in terms of locations and number of people, and launched various programs targeting different groups within the Syrian population in Turkey. Concern’s success in the humanitarian sector since 1968 is attributable to its efforts to increase the quality of its services to the most vulnerable populations around the world. As such, managerial capacity with respect to project development and implementation plays an important role in addressing these needs and in increasing service quality. In order to build on its current strengths, Concern, therefore, wishes to engage a trainer or organization to provide project management and development training, specifically in relation to the Project Management for Development Professionals 1 course
