Context Analysis for Oxfam Kenya Strategic Planning Process Consultancy Opportunity

Consultancy: Context Analysis for Oxfam Kenya Strategic Planning ProcessOxfam has been in Kenya for over 50 years.  It has recently initiated a process to develop a new 5 year strategy for the country programme; one that reflects a significant change in the organisation’s ways of working, away from large-scale direct implementation towards bringing change at scale by empowerment of citizens and influencing others.

In order to ensure the 5 year strategy best responds to the context and the reality of poverty and marginalisation in Kenya, the organisation requires a sound analysis of the external context.

The overall purpose: To assist Oxfam Kenya in the production of a 5 year strategic plan through a sound understanding of the changing external context.

Summary: The consultant will build on Oxfam’s existing context analysis to analyse Kenya’s social, political, environmental, economic and technological context using secondary data and interviews. The analysis will focus on the underlying causes of poverty in Kenya. 
This will be based on a thorough power analysis and a deep understanding of relevant major trends in the country. The analysis will also explore the significant drivers of poverty and vulnerability for women and girls. It will outline opportunities as well as challenges within the Kenyan context.The analysis will be presented as draft report that will be shared with Oxfam’s management and staff in a validation workshop that will be led by the consultant. The consultant will then finalise the report.
