dZi Foundation is a US-based non-profit organization that partners with rural communities in Nepal to achieve lasting prosperity by addressing barriers to basic needs, creating sustainable livelihood opportunities, and strengthening local capacity for transformational change. Guided by our strategic plan, we continuously adapt to evolving development and policy environments, with a sharpened focus on partnerships, local ownership, and long-term sustainability beyond external investments.

dZi Foundation/Nepal invites technical and financial proposals from qualified, independent Human Resource (HR) consulting firms or organizational development experts to conduct a Workforce Optimization and Localization Alignment Review for its Nepal Country Office (NCO).

dZi Foundation/Nepal is seeking an objective, third-party assessment to support its strategic transition. As dZi Foundation advances its localization drive- increasing resource allocations directly to field-level execution through local implementing partners- this independent review will identify the exact operational alignment needed between our core office structure and the long-term goals of the dZi Foundation/Nepal current Strategic Plan.

The primary objective of this consultancy is to conduct a forward-looking gap analysis comparing the human resource capacities currently available within the country office against the optimal structure required to deliver our localized strategic plan. The final third-party recommendations will provide management with an impartial, evidence-based foundation for future organizational design and resource optimization. The scope of work encompasses two core dimensions:

A. Strategic Resource Mapping & Alignment

B. Localization Readiness & Gap Analysis

3. Key Activities & Methodology
