  • 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. The strategy shall also cover issues related to behaviour change and climate change adaptation.
