Since establishment the PPIU has delivered capacity building to Pacific Island Countries (PICs) on technical trade-related areas and strengthened knowledge and understanding across the different Chapters of the Agreement. Ongoing capacity building and training are consistently requested by PICs, however costs to deliver these trainings face-to-face are continually increasing.

Expected Outcome & Deliverables:

1. Design and deliver an initial e-learning course and associated modules on the PACER Plus LMS.

• Sample of a module developed using innovative and interactive learning activities.

iv.????? A financial proposal - the proposed lump sum fee for the consultancy should indicate the breakdown of all costs. This fee should be inclusive of ALL considerations (no more than one page).

?
