Terms of Reference: Value Chain study of vegetable products in Garissa County
Organization: Adeso - African Development Solutions

Project: Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Improving Resilience (REGAL-IR)

Assignment type: Short-term Consultancy
Study / Assessment topic: Vegetable products Value Chain Study
Assignment Location: Garissa County
Reporting to: Technical Advisor, Livelihoods Diversification
Working with: REGAL – IR management, County teams and partners
Starting date: 19th January 2015
Application deadline: 12th January 2015
Organization Background: Adeso is an expanding and vibrant African-based international development and humanitarian organization. We assist communities to help them realize their full potential, working alongside them to create facilitative environments in which they can thrive. Our belief that economic, social and environmental security is the bedrock of a healthy community drives the nature and intent of our programming. We work to prevent and overcome situations that adversely affect community well-being by reinvigorating the economy, developing skills for life and work, providing developmental assistance, and influencing policy.

For the past 20 years we have strengthened rural livelihoods through environmental awareness, training, technology transfer and innovative humanitarian projects in pursuit of a peaceful, self-reliant, and greener future. Currently, Adeso implements programs in Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan. Adeso is an exciting and dynamic organization experiencing managed rapid growth. It offers sound employment conditions with opportunities for personal growth and development.
Project Summary: Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands-Improving Resilience (REGAL-IR) is a 5-year project sponsored by USAID/Kenya and Feed the Future (FTF) to reduce hunger and poverty, increase social stability and build strong foundations for economic growth amongst pastoralists and transitioning pastoralists in Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). The program is designed to empower communities to take charge of their development and to strengthen their capacity to select, design, implement and monitor activities toward increasing their social, economic, and environmental resilience to natural and human-induced shocks.

REGAL-IR is led by Adeso and is implemented by a consortium of partners. The project focuses on engaging communities and strengthening local institutions to improve their social, economic, and environmental resilience. It has six thematic areas:

Strengthening and diversifying livelihood opportunitiesAdvancing value chain inclusivenessImproving management and productivity of natural resourcesImproving conflict managementImproving drought managementImproving consumption of nutritious foodsAn intensive community engagement process - Participatory Learning, Planning and Action (PLPA) - guides program implementation in the six thematic areas above and in 5 counties: Isiolo, Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit, and Turkana. REGAL-IR situates its efforts within those of a larger family of resilience actors including REGAL-AG, the Millennium Water Alliance and the World Food Program.
 Consultancy Description: REGAL-IR intends to develop and promote profitable non-livestock based business enterprises to provide increased incomes at household level, create more employment opportunities, and have important spin-off effects on the local economy. Investment and growth of locally based non-livestock enterprises offer feasible livelihood diversification opportunities for pastoral households whose traditional livelihoods have been vulnerable to the vagaries of weather. Despite existing internal and external production and market potential for non-livestock products in Kenyan ASALs, investment by pastoralists into non-livestock based enterprises has not been forthcoming. This has been due to both external factors such as market failure, challenging climate conditions and governance, and internal factors including illiteracy, lack of capacity and low entrepreneurship acumen among pastoralists. REGAL-IR is banking on improving the resilience of pastoralists and ex-pastoralists through supporting investment in non-livestock based enterprises. The project has adopted a Self Help Group (SHG) approach through which individuals and groups have been mentored to identify profitable non-livestock enterprises which offer promising growth opportunities and suit their skills, knowledge and abilities. Upon self-identification of enterprises by SHGs, REGAL-IR provides niche trainings, mentorship sessions, linkage to service providers and financial institutions and small grants (matching funds) to spur the growth of their enterprises.
A value chain study on vegetable products in Garissa County is being sought so that appropriate linkages to markets, service providers and financial services can be modelled during the project implementation. In addition to the vegetable products value chain, the consultant is also required to conduct a desk review of two (2) other non-livestock based value chains relevant to the County; the consultant(s) are required to propose these two (2) value chains during the tender submission stage and are encouraged to use the recent county ASDSP studies, KAPP reports and other relevant studies as the basis for this proposal.
For both the primary study and the desk studies, the consultant(s) will map the value chains to identify weaknesses and opportunities for support at product, process, technological, institutional and market levels. The consultant(s) will recommend specific interventions that producers and actors within the value chain will implement to improve marketability and profitability.
The consultant(s) are required to identify with the help of REGAL-IR field staff at least one SHG that is currently undertaking vegetable production and develop a business model that the group can use for to develop production, technology transfer, market linkages and financial support for the vegetable value chain.
The key audience for the study is the local communities of the project area, priority value chain actors and potential investors in value chains, since the study will help them to understand the local market dynamics. Additionally, the study findings will be of significant value to multiple stakeholders including decision makers, public policy makers and NGOs.
