  • Consultancy: Development of Thematic Communication Strategies for Kajiado, Narok and Taita Taveta Counties

    Consultancy: Development of Thematic Communication Strategies for Kajiado, Narok and Taita Taveta Counties

    Job Description
    About Integrated & Climate Smart Innovations for Agro-Pastoralist Economies and Landscapes Kenya’s ASAL project
    SNV Kenya (SNV) and Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) – in collaboration with County Governments – are implementing the Integrated & Climate Smart Innovations for Agro-Pastoralist Economies and Landscapes Kenya’s ASAL project (ICSIAPL) project which is implemented under the EU Development Smart Innovation through Research in Agriculture (DeSIRA) action. The project’s lifetime is from 1st January 2021 – 31st December 2023. The project works in the Counties of Narok, Kajiado and Taita Taveta and is funded by the European Union and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
    a) Objectives
    The project’s overall objective is to improve livelihoods of agro-pastoralists communities (including women and youth) through improved forage production and livestock husbandry, building on commercialization of climate smart innovations and sustainable landscape management in Taita Taveta, Kajiado and Narok counties. The project has three specific objectives:

    To increase resilience of agro-pastoralists and SMEs against climate shocks by upscaling of appropriate grazing and feeding innovations.
    To increase capacity of county governments to implement climate resilient integrated landscape management strategies and plans to support agro-pastoralist communities.
    To improve capacity of county governments to develop local strategies/frameworks for drought resilient sector development compliant with national policies.

    b)   Current context
    SNV through the ICSIAPL project carried out gap analysis on integrated landscape management and drought feeding strategies in the three project counties in June 2021. The analysis sought to assess gaps that exists in coordination and implementation of integrated landscape management activities both at landscape and county leadership levels. Study findings indicate existence of inadequate methods of information dissemination regarding drought early warning, grazing management and landscape level restoration activities.
    Linking these strategies to commercialization, policies and climate change requires even a more structured instrument for information dissemination methods. Public awareness, advocacy and coordination among stakeholders is quite paramount in furtherance of behaviour change that will drive adoption of climate smart innovations and landscape level regeneration and investments towards sustainable production.
    Currently, counties have made progress in adopting digital communication travels, whether by email, WhatsApp, or other social media platforms. In addition, Vernacular radio broadcasting are also in use for sending messages to remote agro-pastoralist areas. These stations have presence in all the counties.
    c). Project communication and visibility Strategy
    At the stage of project approval, SNV developed a communication and visibility strategy that covers several audiences: Government of Kenya, other NGOs and projects, and donors. This is intended to provide guidance in developing county-based strategies as it is important to align but not necessarily cascading as the county level strategies will be required to exist post the project life.
    The purpose of Communications strategy
    This request for consultancy is to develop a communications strategy that is tailor made to counties to be able to send harmonised and targeted messages to the stakeholders and communities in various areas of development but more focused to innovations in forage production, livestock husbandry, landscape restoration and grazing management strategies and policies.

    ILRI Consultancy: Adaption Tracking Protocol Development ILRI Internship PhD Graduate Fellow

    The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), under the Program for Climate Smart Livestock (PCSL), seeks to recruit a consultant to develop a composite index and tool for the long-term tracking of adaptation to climate change in livestock systems. The composite index will be constituted by several elements that enable the assessment of adaptative capacity factors and adaptive actions. The consultancy will be carried out under the supervision of and with input from the current adaptation tracking team. The consultant will, therefore, be expected to maintain regular communication with the team and keep them informed at each stage of the iterative process.
    Background:
    PCSL is an initiative across Eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya) that aims at creating a better understanding of climate change mitigation and adaptation in livestock systems. One of the objectives of the PCSL is to build the capacity of governments to monitor and report on progress and effectiveness of adaptative actions. Therefore, the end-users of the ensuing adaptation tracking index and tool will be government officers within the livestock sector.
    Scope of Work:
    The consultant will build on ongoing research that seeks to understand climate change adaptation across the diverse livestock production systems in Eastern Africa. This research has formed the basis for the development of the draft indicator sets which the consultant will use to design the adaptation tracking index and tool. Working under the supervision of the existing team on adaptation tracking, the consultant is expected to:

    Review and refine the indicator sets
    Construct indices based on the indicator sets and the conceptual framework that will be provided
    Design a composite index that can show progress in climate change adaptation across temporal and spatial scales
    Integrate the index into a tool that allows the integration of datasets and visualization of progress in the state of adaptation within the livestock sector across space and time
    Support the testing and refinement of the tool using datasets held by state and non-state actors e.g., periodic national and sub-national surveys and census on livestock, periodic national and subnational socioeconomic surveys, downscaled climate data
    Support the development of a survey tool for collecting data for relevant indicators that are not covered by the existing datasets
    Document the development of the adaptation tracking indices and tool and write a user manual for application of the tool
    Support the training of selected government officials in Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia on the use of the developed index and tool to track adaptation to climate change in livestock systems

    Final products:

    A composite index for adaptation tracking
    A tool that can be used to integrate data sets to visualize progress in adaptation to climate change in livestock systems 
    A manual documenting the process of developing the adaptation tracking index and tool
    A user manual for the application of the adaptation tracking index and tool
