PCAsia promotes good parliamentary practice and regional cooperation on shared challenges such as climate change, gender equality, and inclusive economic growth.

PROJECT CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND

This consultancy falls under the “Strengthening Parliamentary Foundations” project implemented with support from CEGGA. The project addresses the high turnover of MPs in the Lao National Assembly and the resulting need for structured induction, support tools, and gender-responsive research processes.



Parliamentary staff—especially from the Institute of Legislative Studies (ILS) and Provincial People’s Assemblies (PPAs)—play an essential role in preparing briefing notes and research for MPs but currently face capacity gaps in integrating clear, relevant, and practical gender perspectives into their analyses

Training on Drafting Briefing Notes with a Gender Dimension (Activity 3.1) focuses on building these core skills. Week 1 covers the fundamentals of briefing note preparation; Week 2 addresses integrating gender perspectives, delivered by a separate Gender Specialist trainer. The Briefing Note Fundamentals Trainer will ensure a strong, practical foundation for staff before they move into the gender-integration component.

Position Description

Under the supervision of the Capacity Development Director, the Trainer on Briefing Note Fundamentals will design and deliver the Week 1 component of Act
