SECURITY FOCAL POINT E-LEARNING TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

CLOSING DATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 @ 5:00 PM

The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. We are not a bank in the ordinary sense but a unique partnership with a mission to reduce poverty and support global development.

Corporate Security’s vision within the World Bank Group is a secure and safe environment for the World Bank Group to fulfill its mission of fighting poverty. One aspect of this vision is the Security Focal Point (SFP) program. SFPs are Country Office staff members who, in addition to their regular duties, serve as an on-the-ground local security point of contact. Although they most often do not have a security background, SFPs assist staff, family members, and travelers in their respective countries by managing their safety and security and accounting for staff and their families in times of emergency. Country Directors, Country Managers and Heads of Office identify a primary and alternate Security Focal Point for their Country Office.

SCOPE OF WORK

In order to ensure World Bank Group staff and their families receive optimal support, Corporate Security seeks an educational, eLearning service provider/contractor to provide appointed Security Focal Points (“SFPs”) with an e-learning and certification program (i.e. where adult learning credit and certification is earned). The eLearning will be a part of a wide selection of courses that students can select from and will build on each of the following broad topics, however students will not be required to complete every topic. The students will be able to select 4-5 topics to earn certification.  Courses will align with particular industry standards, for instance, ISO 22301 standards.
