Introduction
DYNAMIC (Driving Youth-led New Agribusiness and Microenterprise) is funded by Mastercard Foundation. The project targets 125,000 youth, aged 15 – 24 years in the agriculture sector and runs from 2015 to 2020. DYNAMIC is a consortium of four organisations: GOAL (lead agency); Mercy Corps (market development and financial inclusion in five of nine target districts (GOAL covers the rest); Restless Development (youth engagement and life skills), and (VSO leads on skills and learning). GOAL is the grant holder and leads on the overall monitoring, evaluation and learning system. DYNAMIC’s approach is to work through private sector actor (PSA) partnerships to create systemic change which will enable youth to engage profitably with opportunities along multiple agricultural value chains.
Background
Identifying and entering into PSA partnerships which create sustainable and lasting benefit for economically marginalised youth is central to DYNAMIC’s approach. As such, the systems within GOAL which facilitate this process of partner ‘on-boarding’ are critical. Partner on boarding is informed by the opportunities identified in project research, followed by the identification and selection of partners with the requisite ‘will and skill’, co-design of shared value proposition, due diligence and agreement on milestones and payments.
To guide and support its work with private sector partners, GOAL first piloted and more recently revised MSME Private Sector Partner Engagement Toolkit for its programs globally. The piloted version of the GOAL MSME toolkit influenced the development of a separate PSET by GOAL Uganda and its DYNAMIC consortium implementing partners for use with the DYNAMIC program. The recently revised GOAL MSME Private Sector Partner Toolkit in turn incorporates elements of the DYNAMIC PSET. The GOAL MSME toolkit now needs to be adapted to meet the specific needs and objectives of the DYNAMIC program in Uganda and its consortium partners. The final DYNAMIC PSET should streamline and ease the partner on-boarding process.
Scope of Consultancy
The Consultant will work collaboratively with the GOAL team and the DYNAMIC consortium partners to adapt the GOAL MSME toolkit for the DYNAMIC program. The adapted DYNAMIC PSET will streamline processes to maximize the program team’s ability to efficiently and effectively achieve DYNAMIC program objectives, considering its consortium structure, and provisions that have already been approved by the funding partner, Mastercard Foundation.
In addition to a revised DYNAMIC PSET, the Consultant will also prepare a Presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, or other innovative presentation methods) highlighting the key elements of the adapted DYNAMIC PSET. The presentation should present information in a concise and easily understandable manner, utilising visual representation as much as possible for ease of understanding across a broad audience. The presentation should highlight the ways in which the adapted toolkit differs from the GOAL MSME toolkit, and make recommendations for any new channels of decision-making or information management within GOAL and across the DYNAMIC consortium, that will help improve the efficiency of program implementation.
Finally, the consultant will develop orientation/ training materials for the broader GOAL team orientation to the revised DYNAMIC PSET.
In summary, the Consultant is expected to:
- Present for agreement a schedule of activity timeline/ workplan (0.5 day)
- Conduct a desk-based review of the GOAL MSME toolkit, (discussion with GOAL HQ Markets Advisor) and the existing Mastercard-approved DYNAMIC PSET (3 days)
- Desk review of GOAL and consortium partner systems (procurement, sub-awards, other) and hold individual meetings with GOAL HQ Head of Procurement and Logistics), GOAL Uganda SMT members, the DYNAMIC PD and other key consortium partner staff members as necessary (3 days)
- Hold meetings with key DYNAMIC program and consortium partner staff members (2 days)
- Adapt and share first and second drafts of the revised DYNAMIC PSET and recommendations for embedding any new decision-making channels and information flows for comment (4 days)
- Incorporate reviewer inputs and present final draft adapted DYNAMIC PSET (4 days)
- Develop and share up to three drafts of an innovative presentation (2 days)
- Develop and share up to three drafts of training tools and materials for orientation to the new DYNAMIC PSET (2 days)
- Conduct a training of trainers to support DYNAMIC staff rollout and utilization of the adapted PSET (3 days)
- Compile summary end report (0.5 day)
Total anticipated number of days: 24 days
