Consultancy Service for Organizational Policy and Guideline Review, Revision, and Development

Institutional Context 

The Dalit Society Welfare Committee Nepal (DSWCN) is a national non-profit, non-governmental organization established in 2058 B.S. Dedicated to improving the well-being of poor, marginalized, and vulnerable communities, DSWCN implements programs in child protection, WASH, education, livelihoods, community development, health, protection, emergency response, media advocacy, and family strengthening.

Guided by its core values of People-Centeredness, Caring, Integrity, Accountability, Social Justice, and Excellence, DSWCN works towards building an inclusive society where all individuals, particularly women, children, Dalits, and other marginalized groups, are empowered, protected, and able to exercise their rights without discrimination.

To support its ongoing organizational development and strengthen its institutional framework, DSWCN invites proposals from qualified, experienced, and competent consulting firms or individual consultants for the following consultancy service.

Purpose of the Assignment

Effective organizational policies and guidelines are fundamental to ensuring good governance, accountability, transparency, compliance, and operational efficiency. As DSWCN continues to expand its programs, partnerships, staffing structure, and donor engagements, there is an increasing need to strengthen, update, and develop its policy framework to respond to evolving organizational priorities and compliance requirements.

Several existing policies and guidelines require review and revision to ensure alignment with current national laws, regulatory frameworks, donor requirements, safeguarding standards, and recognized best practices in the development sector. At the same time, there is a need to formulate new policies and operational guidelines to address emerging organizational risks, strengthen internal control systems, promote accountability and inclusion, and support effective organizational management.

To enhance its institutional capacity and ensure that its governance and management systems remain responsive, efficient, and compliant, DSWCN intends to undertake a comprehensive review, revision, and formulation of organizational policies and guidelines through an external consultancy assignment.

The assignment will contribute to the development of a coherent, comprehensive, and updated policy framework that strengthens governance, accountability, risk management, safeguarding, operational effectiveness, and organizational sustainability, while supporting DSWCN's long-term growth, strategic objectives, and commitment to quality programming and service delivery.
