    Consultancy: Design Of The Food Hives Programme For The Informal Settlements Of Nairobi

    Introduction

    SecondMuse is a group of people working vigorously to better the world. It is doing this by putting people first, and boldly challenging itself to find solutions to complex issues and fearlessly introducing new ideas that may seem impossible at times. As an impact and innovation company, it has inclusive and mandate diversity in every program it pioneers — because it believes that diversity is absolutely vital in enabling innovative solutions. The organization also believes that resolutions to inequality and injustices are waiting to be found. Every day it sees talent, intellect, passion, and energy invested in developing some of the greatest inventions and technology that has and will continue to change humanity.

    Building on the insights from the Food Systems Vision Prize, Oxfam’s first-hand experience, and data indicating urban populations will increase to between 70 – 80% of the entire global population by 2050, SecondMuse and Oxfam came together to create the Urban Food Hives Initiative to address the systemic economic, gender and climate related inequalities and challenges in global food systems. Our challenge is to build a future food system capable of nourishing people in an era of increased risk, from climate shocks to conflict to growing inequality. The joint initiative will leverage Oxfam’s presence and capabilities in food policy, addressing inequality and advancing gender and climate justice in over 60 countries, and SecondMuse’s design and programming expertise in creating regional entrepreneurial ecosystems across the globe. Together, the two organizations will support individuals and communities to live up to their highest potential to co-create a more regenerative and equitable future. This initiative will build on the Food System Vision Prize funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. SecondMuse and Oxfam are partnering to capitalize on the hundreds of other innovative submissions from entrepreneurs and visionaries around the world.

    Oxfam in Kenya’s vision of the food hives is to have a transformative, inclusive and sustainable food system where women and youth are represented in, have access to equal opportunities across the food systems value chains; earn a decent living and households in the informal settlements of Nairobi have a sustained access to affordable and sufficient nutritious foods. The project will be built on the gains made in the Urban Early Warning and Early Action pilot project which was focusing on monitoring and responding to food security situation in the informal settlements of Nairobi through county government led mechanisms. To achieve the vision, the project will focus on the following across the Food Systems Value chains: –

    Entrepreneur Support: The project will work towards strengthening the capacity of socially and environmentally focused women and youth food entrepreneurs across the value chain to improve their access to financial and business advisory services, strengthen their skills, and have improved incomes and assets. The project will also promote equitable market access and strengthen women led/owned and youth led/owned small and medium size enterprises across the food systems value chains.
    WORKFORCE: We will leverage on our partnerships with academic institutions to collaborate with workforce to support students, in particular young girls, youth, and other marginalized groups, and propel them into socially and environmentally responsible food careers through education, work experiences, and community building.
    POLICY: Partner with the National and County government of Nairobi to shape institutional, policy reform and support for sustainable food systems for urban and peri urban areas through strengthening government capacity, understanding and relationships required to inform supportive policies and initiatives for urban food producers and other actors.

    The primary objective of the consultancy is to manage a consultative programme design process involving multiple stakeholders and to produce a comprehensive final project proposal, results framework, theory of change, budget and a brief report on the outcome of the exercise.

    Interested consultants (firms and individuals) are requested to submit their bids including technical and financial proposals. The technical proposals must include the TOR interpretation, proposed methodology including a detailed workplan and a Financial proposal with daily costs.

    Global Fund Project 2021 – 2024

    KANCO is a regional membership network of NGOs, CBOs, FBOs, Private Sector actors, Research and Learning Institutions as well as associate membership that includes individuals and International Non‐Governmental Organizations involved in or that have interest in HIV& AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB) and other public health care concerns.
    Established in the early 1990s, KANCO is the largest network of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Kenya with a membership of over 1,200 organisations that are networking, collaborating and are bound together by a common cause of response to HIV&AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB) and other public health conditions of national significance. KANCO supports its members spread across Kenya’s 47 counties to respond to health challenges in line with the existing health policies, legislative and institutional frameworks. KANCO further partners with different regional and global advocacy networks such as ACTION and RESULTS towards realization of health equality and equity.
    KANCO has worked with various partners and government agencies including GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, The Global Fund to fight HIV, TB and Malaria (Including the GF Harm Reduction projects in 8 countries in Eastern Africa Region) , USAID, European Union, CDC, UNAIDS, UNODC, PEPFAR COMIC Relief, among others.

    Guided by the vision of healthy people, empowered communities, over time KANCO has evolved to become a premier agency for sensitizing, mobilizing and promoting collaboration among civil society organizations (CSOs) working in the region.
    Amref Health Africa Global Fund Tuberculosis Project
    Amref Health Africa in Kenya has been the non‐state Principal Recipient (PR) for Global Fund (GF) Tuberculosis and Malaria grants in Kenya since 2011 and 2012 respectively. In 2020, Amref Health Africa in Kenya was again competitively selected by the Kenya Coordinating Mechanism (KCM), as the non‐state PR for the Global Fund TB and Malaria grants 2021 ‐ 2024.
    Resilient and sustainable systems for health (RSSH) are essential to ending HIV, TB, and malaria as epidemics. They also yield broader outcomes, delivering healthcare in a sustainable, equitable and effective way, accelerating progress toward universal health coverage, and helping countries prepare for emerging threats to global health security. Community systems strengthening (CSS) is an integral component of RSSH which is essential to achieving progress against the three diseases and to fulfill their principles of promoting human rights and gender equity. According to the Community systems strengthening (CSS) Framework by the Global Fund, CSS is an approach that promotes the advancement of informed, capable and coordinated communities, community‐based organizations, groups and structures. The community actors are enabled to contribute as equal partners alongside other actors to the long‐term sustainability of health and other interventions at the community level, including an enabling and responsive environment in which these contributions can be effective.
    The Global Fund designates most funding to country allocations. The countries apply for funding through a multistep process. The funding is available in three‐year periods, known as allocation periods or funding periods, and the application process is repeated each period. Applying for funding allocated to countries is the responsibility of the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), which is a national committee that includes representatives of all sectors. Through the Country Coordinating Mechanism, each country that receives an allocation submits funding requests for eligible disease components on behalf of the country as a whole. Application by CCM is done through a process that entails; funding request, prioritized above allocation request, Country
    Coordinating Mechanism eligibility, Review, Grant‐making and Approval. Details of the process can be found in the Global Fund website.
    The Global Fund grant application process requires meaningful engagement of all key stakeholders to ensure the voices and the needs of the key and vulnerable populations are reflected in the application. The key stakeholders include Communities, Principle Recipients, national and county governments to ensure. In Kenya, there has been concerns overtime in ensuring meaningful stakeholders engagement throughout the grant application process.

  • Consultancy: Support for the Development of a Regional Action Plan for Africa on EVAWG

    Consultancy: Support for the Development of a Regional Action Plan for Africa on EVAWG

    About the Spotlight Initiative
     
    The Spotlight Initiative is a global partnership between the European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN) to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. The Spotlight Initiative Africa Regional Program aims to address regional bottlenecks and support regional commitments towards Ending Violence against Women and Girls (EVAWG) including strengthening existing strategies and initiatives. The project contributes towards the achievements of gender equality and women’s empowerment as a precondition and driver for the achievement of the African Union Agenda 2063 Goal 17, and Sustainable Development Goal 5, and prioritizes strengthening existing strategies and initiatives, such as the AU Gender Strategy, the Gender Observatory, and the AU Campaign to end Child Marriage and AU Initiative on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

    The Spotlight Initiative adopts a strategy of harnessing the respective strengths of multi-sectoral, multilevel partnerships which will support the acceleration of transformative change. This will be achieved through working with individual member states, the African Union (AU), the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and the Pan-African Women Organization.
    Rationale for the Development of the Regional Action Plan for Africa on EVAWG.
    The development and rollout of a Regional Action Plan on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) including Sexual and Gender Based Violence/ Harmful Practices (SGBV/HP) and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights (SRH&RR) has as its purpose redressing the factors that have impeded progression towards the elimination of violence against women and girls on the African continent. The need for the Regional Action Plan is therefore pre

    empted by the lack of a number of member states to prioritize the development and implementation of national Action Plans as well as poor commitment by regional and national partners to increase investment on EVAWG by integrating SGBV/HP and SRH&RR into the planning and budget frameworks; and the need to fast track, monitor, and report on member states’ compliance, commitment and achievement on EVAW. With only 26 countries out of 55 AU member states with NAPs on EVAWG, there is a need to have a regional framework to boost member states’ efforts to EVAWG. The proposed Regional Action Plan will serve as a regional framework that will guide regional partners and member states to translate global and regional commitments into strategies and actions to be undertaken at regional and national levels on ending violence against women and girls through the development of a Regional Action Plan with a Monitoring and Evaluation framework on EVAWG including SGBV/HP and SRH&RR.
    The Process for the Development of the Regional Action Plan for Africa on EVAWG
    The development of the Regional Action Plan is led by UNDP in collaboration with Equality Now. UNDP has recruited a team of consultants who are currently developing the Regional Action Plan for Africa on EVAWG. This process will involve a number of actions/ sub-activities:
