CONSULTANCY TENDERS FOR BASELINE STUDY

Farm Africa is an innovative charity organization that reduces poverty in rural eastern Africa by helping farmers grow more, sell more, and sell for more: we help farmers not only boost yields, but also gain access to markets, and add value to their produce. We place a high priority on environmental sustainability and develop approaches that help farmers to improve their yields and incomes without degrading their natural resources. Our programs vary hugely, ranging from helping crop farmers to boost harvests, livestock keepers to improve animal health, and forest coffee growers to reach export markets, but core to all of them is a focus on the financial sustainability of the farmers’ businesses and environmental sustainability. We are increasingly designing and implementing complex and integrated multi-sector projects, some by ourselves and some others in partnership with like-minded organizations in the form of consortiums.

Farm Africa Kenya through one of its programmes, the Youth Empowerment for Sustainable Aquaculture Markets and Job Creation program also known as ‘’Youth in Sustainable Agriculture (YISA) program, aims to change the perceptions of the potential offered by the mariculture and aquaculture for entrepreneurship and employment, building knowledge and capacity so that young people, especially women, are attracted by the opportunities and growth potential offered by working in aquaculture and mariculture. This is a five-year program that is supported by the Mastercard Foundation and is implemented by a consortium of six partners in six counties (Kisumu, Kakamega, Homabay, Siaya, Busia, and Kilifi.)

Farm Africa Kenya is seeking to hire a consultant to conduct a baseline study for the YISA program, with the following objectives:

• To provide a detailed assessment of the key performance indicators for this project, as defined in the Monitoring and Learning Plan (MLP).
• To assess the status of key indicators and detail a clear understanding of prevailing conditions and perceptions of the target group in the implementation areas
