Further, the MCQ pertaining to each module would be released to the participants to undertake after the completion of the module. Kindly confirm.

New clarification added: QUESTIONThe TOR states that the stakeholders for the courses are "national and local government, universities, private businesses, and consumers" along with "focus on reaching out to women, informal waste pickers, and youth stakeholders in both urban and rural settings". This is a very wide audience. The depth and breadth of courses, content delivery medium and training objectives would be very diverse for the listed stakeholders. We request you to provide specific audience and objectives. ANSWERA single course may not be suitable for all types of audiences.

Also, please clarify what are the “CapDev needs”.ANSWERCapDev needs will be identified through Tasks 1, 2, 3, and 4. Modalities refer to the methods of delivering the training.

New clarification added: QUESTIONOn sub-task 2.2, it is mentioned that “The formats proposed should be aligned with the needs of the topic and with the stakeholder groups targeted. For example, a course aimed at those involved in informal or semi-informal waste management activities should be conducted at a local level. A course that requires extensive feedback and analysis should come with sufficient moderating capacity. Training materials should be as accessible as possible, and applicable to as wide an audience as possible while maintaining focus on the target stakeholders.” We also want to understand why there is this requirement of "formats proposed" and "...conducted on local level" when the course is hosted on the Knowledge and Partnerships Platform. ANSWERAll proposed formats must be cmaptible to be hosted in the platformAny course developed for the marginalized community with limited access to device must be considered for selecting the format. Like, any course that will be impleemnted at the local level, should consider to be available in cell phones.
