TAIMAKO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (TCDI)
DEVELOPMENT OF A FACILITATOR’S CURRICULUM AND TRAINING GUIDE FOR PEACE/WASH CLUBS WITH INTEGRATED BOARD GAMES

Background

In line with ongoing efforts of the TAIMAKO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (TCDI) in implementing a project titled “Promoting Inclusive Education and Vocational Training in Nigeria (Pro-IEVTiN” co-funded by the German Government (BMZ) and Supported by Christoffel Blinden Mission (CBM) in Yobe state. There is a recognized need to engage youth through structured extracurricular activities. This initiative seeks to integrate Peacebuilding/Conflict Resolution with Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) education. By establishing school-based clubs, the project aims to cultivate a culture of hygiene and communal harmony among students.

2. Purpose of the Consultancy

The purpose of this consultancy is to develop a user-friendly, participatory, and context-appropriate Peace/WASH Club curriculum and training guide, including educational board games and activity tools that promote peacebuilding, conflict resolution, hygiene promotion, sanitation practices, teamwork, and inclusion.

3. Objective: Objectives of the Assignment

The consultant will be expected to:

• Develop a structured curriculum and facilitator guide for Peace/WASH Clubs.
• Design practical and interactive learning sessions suitable for children and adolescents.
• Develop at least 2 educational board games and activity materials that reinforce key Peace and WASH messages for use both in facilitator training workshops and as recurring activities during regular club meetings;
• Ensure the materials are inclusive, gender-sensitive, and disability-friendly.
• Produce locally reproducible materials that can easily be used during training and regular club activities.

• Equips facilitators with structured session plans, background content, and facilitation techniques;
• Integrates peacebuilding and WASH content in a way that reflects real community dynamics.

4. Scope of Work

The consultant will carry out the following tasks:

Task 1 — Desk Review and Consultation

• Review relevant project documents, policies, existing training manuals, and educational materials related to peacebuilding, WASH, child participation, and inclusive education.

• Conduct consultations (remote or in-person) with program staff, current club facilitators, and community stakeholders to understand their needs, literacy levels, and preferred learning styles.
• Submit an inception report detailing: methodology, work plan, proposed table of contents for the guide, and initial board game concepts for feedback.

Task 2 — Curriculum and Training Guide Development

Develop a Facilitator’s Curriculum and Training Guide containing:

1. Content Modulescovering at minimum:

Peacebuilding:

• Introduction to Peace/WASH Clubs
• Conflict analysis and mapping,
• Mediation and dialogue skills,
• Non-violent communication,
• Social cohesion,
• Inter-community trust-building, and handling disagreement within group
• Child protection and safeguarding
• Inclusion and participation of children with disabilities
• Community engagement and advocacy
• Club management and sustainability
• Peacebuilding and coexistence
• Communication and teamwork
• Conflict prevention and resolution
• Leadership and peer support

WASH:

• Water safety and treatment,
• Sanitation and waste management,
• Menstrual health management,
• Disease prevention (cholera, diarrhoea),
• Peace–WASH nexus (water access disputes,
• Cooperation around shared resources,
•  Inclusive sanitation for displaced or marginalized groups.
•  Hygiene promotion and handwashing
• Safe water practices
• Environmental sanitation

Integration modules that show how peace and WASH overlap in everyday community life — for example, negotiating shared borehole schedules, resolving tensions around latrine construction, or addressing exclusion of certain groups from hygiene campaigns.

1. Facilitator Tools

• Session plans with: objective, time allocation, materials list, facilitator notes, step-by-step facilitation flow, and discussion prompts.
• Icebreakers, energizers, and closing reflection activities.
• Guidance for facilitating mixed-gender, multi-ethnic, and intergenerational groups.
• “Difficult moments” tips — how to respond when discussions become tense or conflict surfaces in the room.

1. Monitoring and Learning Tools

• Simple pre-session and post-session feedback forms.
• A basic facilitator self-reflection checklist.
• Guidance on reporting and simple documentation of club sessions.

The guide should be written in plain, accessible language suitable for facilitators with varied education levels. It should be visually clear and easy to navigate.

Task 3 – Board Game Design

Design at least two (2) board games that:

• Are directly tied to the learning objectives of the curriculum — teaching peacebuilding concepts, WASH knowledge, or ideally the intersection of both.
• Use low-cost, locally available materials: cardboard, bottle caps, stones, seeds, printed or hand-drawn cards, dice made from clay or wood. Nothing that requires specialized production or regular reprinting.
• Come with complete, tested rules, setup diagrams, facilitator instructions, and a simple production guide so clubs can build their own copies.
• Are scalable in complexity — playable in 20–30 minutes for quick club meetings, but with optional expansion or variation for longer workshop sessions.
• Work for both contexts: (a) during facilitator training workshops as a teaching and simulation tool, and (b) during regular club meetings as a recurring, member-led activity.
• Include structured debrief questions to connect game outcomes and experiences back to real community issues.
