eRider Starter Kit
All you'll need to hit the road as a nonprofit consultant
December 20, 2005
An eRider is a roving consultant who works one-on-one with an NGO to help the organization develop and implement an information and communications technology (ICT) strategy tailored to its unique aims, needs, and context.
Download this eRider Starter Kit, provided by eRiders.net, to help you understand, design, implement, maintain, and sustain an eRider project. Whether you're interested in working as an eRider or hiring one, this comprehensive manual outlines a tested process that has been implemented by a variety of programs around the world.
The kit is divided into several sections, the first of which defines the eRider concept and the eRider's many roles. The next section lays out the various phases of an eRider project and offers insight into the way eRider consultants develop a strategy, recruit, and select other eRiders. The final section includes templates and samples of eRider contracts, sample budgets, and sample evaluation forms.
