Selection of NGO to establish and manage Older People’s Club (OPC) Pilot Management Program.
The main objective of this assignment is to hire a specialized NGO that manages implementation, training, and monitoring and evaluation activities for the OPCs pilot.

This includes actively engaging older people, including them in leadership roles; encouraging participation from diverse older people, including women, people of all income levels and those with disabilities; addressing social, health and economic needs; drawing on community’s existing resources and capacities of older people to serve as agents of change; and strengthening links between older people and local government. OPAs have been established across the globe since 1986. Global experience has shown that membership in an OPA enables older people to meet some of their basic needs more independently and enhance their social standing and overall wellbeing. After 12 to 24 months of support and mobilization of seed funding, with proper capacity building, OPAs graduate and become financially sustainable. Based on the global success of OPAs, CTM will launch an OPC pilot to provide holistic support for the elderly, particularly through establishment of Older People’s Clubs.
