Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:26:08 +0000

Introduction The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) is an integrated set of activities funded by the United States Government (USG) and is intended to provide timely, accurate, evidence-based, and transparent food insecurity early warning information and analysis. Created in 1985 in response to famines in East and West Africa, FEWS NET provides global coverage of acute food insecurity. FEWS NET’s work is implemented across several mechanisms by a team of partners that includes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the University of California-Santa Barbara’s Climate Hazards Center (UCSB-CHC), University of Maryland’s Department of Geographical Sciences, American Institutes for Research (AIR), and Chemonics International (Chemonics). Chemonics implements FEWS NET’s Decision Support Team (DST), which is charged with providing integrated monitoring and analyses of current and forecast acute food insecurity in countries worldwide to support the United States Government’s (USG) policy and programmatic decisions. The DST operates through a Washington-based technical office, regional FEWS NET offices, and national staff presence in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and eastern Europe. FEWS NET’s objective is to produce timely, evidence-based decision support to enable the efficient allocation of humanitarian assistance on the basis of need. Based on an in-depth understanding of local livelihoods, FEWS NET monitors information and data on factors that affect food security, such as conflict, weather and agroclimatology, crops, pasture, markets and trade, and nutrition. The FEWS NET DST produces regular reports, including Food Security Outlooks and Outlook Updates, emergency alerts, market and price updates, and targeted analyses. FEWS NET makes reports available at www.fews.net and distributes them globally to governments, relief agencies, and other organizations engaged in humanitarian response and development programs. The eighth phase of FEWS NET began in 2024. The work of the FEWS NET DST relies on close collaboration with international, regional, and national partners on food security-related data and information gathering and analysis. Major activities include joint monitoring and assessments, data sharing and exchanges, collaborative analysis and reporting, and support of local and regional food security networks.

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:22:59 +0000

1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed action will scale up emergency humanitarian assistance that prevents loss of life from the combined effects of armed conflict and natural disasters in Somalia. The actions aim to increase the availability, access, and utilization of essential health, nutrition, WASH, and Food Security services, reaching 223,964 of the most vulnerable internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees, and host community households in Somalia through Integrated Area-Based Programming. Specifically, the action will contribute to reduced morbidity and mortality by providing life-saving, integrated Health, Nutrition, and WASH services, as well as multi-purpose cash assistance, to the most vulnerable and conflict-affected populations in Afmadow, Jamaame, Dhobley, Buale, Jilib, Dinsoor, Erigavo, and Bardhere Districts. The proposed action will result in: 1. Enhanced access to responsive, preventative, and curative health care services. 2. Improved nutrition status for at-risk under-five children, pregnant and lactating women. 3. Improved access to public health-strengthening WASH products and services for at-risk health facilities. 4. Access to timely, gender-responsive Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA), for vulnerable households to meet urgent essential needs enhanced. 5. Life-saving emergency crisis contingency capacities in displacement and conflict-affected communities strengthened. World Vision Germany, together with implementing partners World Vision Somalia, Oxfam Somalia, Oxfam Novib, ZAMZAM Foundation, GREDO, and WASDA, will collaborate with the Ministry of Health at the State and Federal Levels, the Somalia Disaster Management Agency, the State Ministry of Humanitarian and Disaster Management, and other humanitarian and development agencies in delivering life-saving assistance. 1.1 Purpose and Intended Use The purpose of the endline evaluation is to measure the Action’s results at completion, verify progress against the logframe indicators, assess program quality and outcomes, and generate evidence, learning, and recommendations for the consortium, communities, and DG ECHO reporting. 1.1.1 Intended Users • World Vision Somalia Program (WVSOM) • Oxfam Somalia Country Office • Implementing partners: ZAMZAM Foundation, GREDO, WASDA • DG ECHO and relevant coordination structures (clusters/authorities where applicable) • Community stakeholders and committees (for validation and feedback loops) • Relevant government ministries (MoH) 1.1.2 Intended Uses of Findings • Accountability: Provide credible evidence on outputs/outcomes and explain what worked and what did not. • Learning: Identify best practices, innovations, and constraints (access, supply chain, coordination, digital systems, referrals, MPCA delivery). • Decision‑making: Inform close‑out, handover of assets/systems, and design of follow‑on actions. • Donor reporting: Support DG ECHO final reporting and results communication. 1.2 Evaluation Objectives 1.

Relevance and Appropriateness • To what extent did the Action address priority needs and risk drivers among targeted IDPs, returnees, and host communities, including women, children under 5, PLW, and persons with disabilities? • How appropriate was the integrated and sequenced approach (Health/Nutrition as entry point with WASH and MPCA layering) to the local context, access constraints, and market conditions? B. Effectiveness and Outcomes • Health: To what extent were primary health consultations, community case management, skilled deliveries, SGBV clinical support and referral services delivered and of acceptable quality? • Nutrition: To what extent were screening, admissions, treatment, and referrals achieved, and did performance align with standards/targets (e.g., recovery rate)? • WASH: To what extent did health‑facility WASH improvements and community WASH response (Erigavo) improve access, practices, and infection prevention and control conditions? • MPCA: To what extent did MPCA improve households’ ability to meet essential needs (MEB/expenditure outcomes) and reduce negative coping strategies? • Crisis modifier/DRR: How effectively did contingency/anticipatory mechanisms function (triggers, timeliness, reach, satisfaction, and coordination)? C. Coverage, Equity, and Inclusion • Were services equitably accessed across sex, age, disability, and displacement status? What barriers (distance, cost, safety, cultural norms, accessibility) remained? • To what extent did the Action reduce barriers and mitigate risks for vulnerable groups, including PWD accessibility within facilities and gender‑sensitive WASH and cash delivery? D. Accountability, Protection, Mainstreaming, and Safeguarding • To what extent did people perceive that assistance was delivered safely, accessibly, accountably, and participatorily, and what corrective actions were implemented during the Action? • How effective were complaints and feedback mechanisms (hotlines/IVR, helpdesks, suggestion boxes, community meetings) in resolving issues and closing feedback loops? • Were protection risks identified and mitigated (including PSEA, GBV referral pathways, aid diversion risks, and data protection safeguards)? E. Efficiency and Coordination/Coherence • How efficient were delivery mechanisms and partner coordination arrangements (supply chain, registration/biometrics, digital systems, referrals, TPM/remote monitoring where relevant)? • How coherent was the Action with cluster standards, government strategies, and other programmes (e.g., UNICEF/WFP referral pathways and coordination structures)? F. Learning and Recommendations • What innovations and good practices should be sustained or scaled (e.g., digital medical records, Clean Clinic/WASH‑FIT, vulnerability scoring, interoperability, anticipatory action triggers)? • What priority recommendations should inform close‑out, handover, and future programming? 4 KEY PROJECT INDICATORS TO MEASURE/VERIFY (Minimum Set) The end line evaluation should measure/verify (at minimum) the following outcome/SO indicators and selected results indicators (as applicable): • Crude Mortality Rate (CMR) – measured through survey and/or validated secondary sources where feasible. • Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) recovery rate – verified from treatment facility records. • Percentage of target population with adequate WASH services and hygiene practices – using household survey/KAP and observation aligned to SPHERE. • Percentage of beneficiaries reporting assistance delivered in a safe, accessible, accountable, and participatory manner – using the ECHO recommended tool and disaggregation. • Percentage of households without crisis and emergency Livelihood Coping Strategies (LCS). • Percentage of persons effectively referred to other specialized services or assistance providers. 5 EVALUATION DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY The evaluation will use a mixed‑methods design that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods and triangulates findings across multiple data sources. 5.1 Quantitative Components • Household survey: modules aligned to key outcome indicators including Livelihood Coping Strategies (LCS), Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB)/expenditure, WASH access and hygiene practices, and perceptions of safe/accountable delivery (ECHO process indicator). • Health facility/client exit interviews (where feasible): satisfaction, perceived quality, safety, accessibility, referral experience, and barriers. • Routine data verification: extraction and verification of DHIS2 / facility registers, CMAM/OTP registers, referral logs, MPCA payment records, market monitoring, and PDM datasets. 5.2 Qualitative Components • Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with women caregivers/PLW, men, adolescents/youth, where relevant, and persons with disabilities/caregivers. • Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with MoH/DMOs, facility in‑charges, CHWs/FHWs, WASH committees, cash agents/mobile money providers (where appropriate), local leaders, and consortium staff. • Participatory validation: community feedback sessions to share preliminary findings and validate interpretations. 5.3 Sampling Strategy (Evaluator to Finalize) The evaluation team will propose a statistically appropriate sampling design aligned with the baseline (where available) and the Action’s geographic and beneficiary stratifications. Sampling should allow robust estimation of key proportions at the consortium level and, where feasible, by major geographic strata. The evaluator should consider oversampling vulnerable groups (women‑headed households, U5/PLW households, households with members with disabilities) and MPCA recipients to support subgroup analysis. 5.4 Data Quality Assurance All data quality control measures will be strictly observed throughout the survey. This will include: • Enumerator training and pilot testing of tools. • Daily review of submissions, logic checks, and rapid feedback to teams. • Back‑checks and spot‑checks; supervision plans by district. • Triangulation across survey, qualitative evidence, and routine datasets. • Transparent documentation of limitations due to access/security constraints. • Review and translation of study tools into local languages to ensure clarity and cultural appropriateness. • Standardization of training, including pre-testing and familiarization of enumerators with local terminology. • Verification of evidence against established parameters. • Use of GPS functionality in KoboCollect to geo-reference data. • Regular supervision of field teams and continuous data cleaning. 5.5 Ethical Consideration: The following ethical principles will be strictly observed throughout the survey process: • Respect for individual rights and privacy, ensuring participants’ personal information is protected. • Voluntary participation, with participants retaining the right to withdraw from the survey, either partially or completely, at any stage. • Informed consent, ensuring participants understand the purpose of the survey and are aware of any potential risks, with avoidance of deception. • Confidentiality and anonymity, safeguarding the data provided by participants and ensuring that identifiable information is not disclosed. • Sensitivity to participant reactions, ensuring that data collection methods do not cause discomfort or distress. • Minimizing harm, considering the potential effects of data analysis and reporting on participants. • Professional conduct and objectivity of surveyors, ensuring impartiality, integrity, and adherence to research ethics throughout the study. 5.6 Limitations Security in several targeted districts is volatile, with potential disruptions that may restrict enumerators’ access to specific field locations, potentially affecting the quality of the evaluation. To mitigate this risk, the survey will be conducted in close collaboration with local line ministry staff from inception to completion. Their involvement will ensure adequate supervision of field activities and enable daily updates to sector teams, maintaining the integrity and continuity of the data collection process. 6 DELIVERABLES The final evaluation Report: • Findings should be disaggregated by Sectors and also provide the cumulative results by district and project. • Recommendations need to be supported by a specific set of findings. • Evaluation findings should be presented as analyzed facts, evidence, and data and not based on anecdotes, hearsay, or the compilation of people’s opinions. • Findings should be specific, concise, and supported by strong quantitative or qualitative evidence. • Include recommendations for improved future programming and implementation • Clean Datasets & Codebook: De‑identified datasets; codebook; transcripts/notes de‑identified. • Includes photos and quotes from key stakeholders such as beneficiaries and project facilities during FGDs & KII • Including, but not limited to, sections on context, sampling, methodology, findings (including a table showing end-results per indicator/ activity • Disaggregation of beneficiaries - Male/Female, IDPs/Host community levels at a minimum. 7 RESPONSIBILITY The evaluation will be conducted externally by a consultant in collaboration with the World Vision M&E team. A qualified evaluation consultant will be competitively recruited to perform a high-quality end-line evaluation of the project. The external evaluators will not have been involved in project implementation, ensuring that the evaluation is entirely impartial and independent from the design, field data collection, supervision, report writing, and related project processes.

Cumulatively, over 45 million disaster displacements have been recorded in the continent since 2009, with floods accounting for more than 75% of all disaster-related movements. In several regions across the continent climate extremes also intersect with conflict, fragility, and livelihood loss to exacerbate mobility. Displacement not only creates immediate humanitarian needs but can also hinder or reverse development gains for affected individuals, communities, and countries. This underscores the urgent need to address displacement and other forms of mobility through an integrated approach, preventing its occurrence by investing in hazard prevention, mitigation and climate change adaptation, preparing for more effective responses when displacement takes place, and addressing its protracted and long-term impacts by achieving durable solutions, recovery and sustainable development. In response to these trends, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) launched an initiative, aiming to increase understanding of current and future impacts of climate change and natural hazards, especially as it relates to migration and displacement. As part of this vision, and utilising improved data and forecasts, IOM and its partners will support governments and communities to increase the resilience of populations most likely to be impacted by climate-induced displacement and putting in place measures to enhance prevention, preparedness, and reduce or address non-economic loss and damage.

Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. 5.3.3. Technical Score Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposal’s overall technical score. 5.4. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal. Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% 5.5. Total Score Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ About the Project The project “Advancing Biodiversity Conservation in Terrestrial and Marine Areas through Strengthened Governance and Sustainable Financing in Seychelles” (GEFID 12044) co-developed by the IUCN and the Ministry for Environment, Climate, Energy, and Natural Resources (MECENR) of Seychelles and key national stakeholders, was approved by the GEF Council on November 19th, 2025. This project aims to reinforce national capacities, institutional frameworks, and governance mechanisms to support the restoration of terrestrial and marine ecosystems in Seychelles, strengthen the management and sustainable use of protected areas, scale-up effective biodiversity conservation actions and impacts, while creating an enabling environment for innovative biodiversity finance and resource mobilization. This project, aligned with the KMGBF, national biodiversity targets, and the forthcoming Seychelles NBSAP, will build on existing national achievements to address the institutional and financial barriers for biodiversity conservation in Seychelles, and the need for stronger and more equitable management of protected areas, and for more policy aligned and coordinated ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation actions. It will, i. support the implementation of the Seychelles Marine Spatial Plan, improve PA management, and develop co-management arrangements; ii. support the restoration of priority wetlands and coral reefs based on national policies and guidelines, support capacity strengthening and building in ecosystem restoration, establish national standards and best practices for Nature-based Solutions and contribute to developing innovative technologies for IAS rodent eradication in island ecosystems; and iii. design and pilot innovative biodiversity finance instruments and tracking tools, while enhancing national capacity for long-term resource mobilisation and management. Through targeted actions across key Inner and Outer Island sites (specific implementing areas can be found in Attachment 4), the project will establish conditions for scaling-up conservations efforts and capacity, as well as sustainable biodiversity financing, paving the way for broader upscaling under future GEF replenishments. (please refer to Attachment 4 for the GEF-approved Seychelles PPG request, alternatively available online on the GEF portal: https://www.thegef.org/projects-operations/projects/12044)) The project is divided into the following components: Component 1: This component focuses on strengthening governance and coordination for PAs management. Key actions include the development of a management plan for Alphonse Group MPA, and a co-management area covering Amirantes to Fortune Banks in Zone 2 of the SMSP which accounts for 16.1% of Seychelles EEZ. A national framework for co-management in PAs will also be designed alongside piloting a co-management model in Seychelles’ first seasonal MPA on Mahe Island. To improve enforcement and coordination, a central compliance database/dashboard will be created to record infractions and track judicial outcomes, and all PA management agencies, authorized officers, and relevant enforcement authorities, will be trained on evidence gathering, conflict resolution, PA regulations, and the new Nature Reserves and Conservancy Act (NRCA), 2022. In addition, a common standard operating procedure (SOP) for SMSP Zones 1 and 2 will be developed, and EIA permit procedures will be updated to align with SMSP codes, supported by scenario based workshops for national stakeholders. This Component already has pre-identified executing entities. Component 2: This component focuses on developing national standards and guidelines for the restoration and conservation of critical coastal ecosystems, such as wetlands and coral Reefs and for the implementation and scaling up of Nature Based Solutions (NbS) in the country. A Wetlands Restoration Manual will be created, and restoration interventions will be piloted in three priority wetlands on Mahe Island - Petit Barbarons, Caiman Estate, and Port Launay, while training workshops will build capacity among key stakeholders. Similarly, standardized coral reef restoration guidelines will be adopted based on the Seychelles Coral Reef Restoration Manual. Following training and key equipment provisions, piloting of these guidelines will be conducted at the Sainte Anne Marine National Park and on Cousin Island Special Reserve. A key part of this component is also the development of NbS standards for Seychelles, providing certification-oriented training, and creating an enabling environment for NbS scale-up. Lasty, this component includes the development of innovative technologies to enable rodent eradication on islands with extensive mangrove areas. Eradication of invasive mammals is a highly effective and long-term nature-based solution to boost climate change resilience on islands, improving marine as well as terrestrial biodiversity, and the robustness and integrity of island ecosystems. The development of these technologies is an essential step towards national application and potential replication on other islands worldwide. This Component already has pre-identified executing entities. Component 3: This component strengthens long-term financing for conservation through the design and pilot of two innovative finance instruments, the establishment of a national Access and Benefit- Sharing (ABS) mechanism for genetic resources, and the organization of training and exchanges consolidating critical capacity and fostering new partnerships. These actions will strengthen SeyCCAT's role and capacity as a national hub for long-term biodiversity finance and conservation trust fund management. This component will also support short to medium term financing models, through piloting of sustainable partnership models and replicable mechanisms for private investment in ecosystem restoration. These include a coral restoration private sector charter, and a sustainable coral aquaculture business enterprise based on a Coral Reef Restoration Business Plan. Additionally, a national tracking system to monitor progress on GBF targets and national biodiversity investment will also be developed. These actions are aligned with ongoing national efforts to meet the finance gap for both biodiversity and climate objectives in the country. This Component already has pre-identified executing entities. Component 4: Monitoring and evaluation – focuses on developing tools to monitor the project's performance, efficiency and impact of project interventions. It involves a participatory and comprehensive M&E framework is designed and operationalised to track project impact on governance of marine and terrestrial protected areas, critical ecosystems restoration and conservation (including IAS action), capacity strengthening, and development of instruments, frameworks, and partnerships for sustainable biodiversity financing and resource mobilisation. Total budget Source of Funds (GBFF)- GEF Agency(IUCN) - Focal Area Source(GBFF) Amount (in US$) Project Financing (2,979,888.00) + Project Financing Agency Fee (268,190.00) + Project Preparation Grant (PPG)(150,000.00) + Project Preparation (PPG) Agency Fee(13,500.00) = 3,411,578.00 Total GEF Resources - 3,411,578.00 Description of the Assignment As per the GEF and IUCN project cycle, the next and final stage in project development is for IUCN to lead the development and submission of a fully developed GEF CEO Endorsement Request, IUCN project document and all required annexes and relevant analyses that contribute to achieve GEF CEO Endorsement. To ensure compliance with GBFF PPG duration, IUCN seeks to achieve GEF CEO Endorsement no later than August 12th, 2026. Through this consultancy, IUCN is seeking to recruit a national PPG Technical Adviser and Coordinator to provide technical appraisal and advisory services, as well as coordination support, during the GEF GBFF PPG phase in Seychelles for the project, ultimately supporting the submission of a technically robust and compliant GEF CEO Endorsement package to the GEF Secretariat. The PPG Technical Adviser and Coordinator will serve as a key focal point for coordination and strategic technical guidance, facilitating the integration, review and quality assurance of technical inputs from national stakeholders, supporting the organization and facilitation of consultation processes, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, technically sound inputs that meet stakeholder expectations and IUCN and GEF requirements. The role will not involve drafting the CEO Endorsement Request, which will be undertaken under a separate consultancy; rather, the Adviser will be responsible for coordinating inputs, providing technical review and advice, and ensuring alignment, coherence and technical consistency across project components, working closely with MECENR, IUCN staff, the recruited consultants, and the preidentified co-executing agencies throughout the process. Key responsibilities The PPG Technical Adviser and Coordinator will play a central, cross-cutting role in the coordination and oversight of all PPG activities. While not responsible for drafting the CEO Endorsement Request, the Coordinator will ensure the coherence, technical quality, and timely delivery of all inputs contributing to its preparation and will provide technical appraisal and peer review of the CEO Endorsement package and related annexes. Responsibilities include: • Serve as the primary coordination focal point for all PPG stakeholders, including IUCN, MECENR, the international and national consultants, and administrative support staff. • Lead the preparation and implementation of a detailed PPG workplan and methodology, developed in close collaboration with the project design and preparation consultants (PPG Consultants), and aligned with GEF, GBFF and IUCN standards and timelines. • Provide coordination support to the selected project design and preparation consultants, including those covering thematic areas such as biodiversity financing, environmental economics, ecosystem restoration, Nature-based Solutions, protected areas management and sustainable and equitable use, climate change, and stakeholder engagement. Ensure that their inputs are delivered on time, technically sound, and coherent across project components. • Ensure quality control of all national-level deliverables and technical contributions prior to their integration by the project design and preparation consultants into the CEO Endorsement Request and annexes. • Synthesize and organize inputs from national stakeholders, facilitating their effective integration into successive drafts of the CEO Endorsement Request by the project design and preparation consultants. The PPG Technical Adviser and Coordinator is not responsible for drafting the proposal but plays a critical role in aligning and validating national contributions. • Support the planning and facilitation of stakeholder consultations at national and local levels (including inception, consultation and validation workshops), in close collaboration with IUCN and MECENR. • Review and provide technical input on key supporting documents, including baseline and feasibility studies (in particular biodiversity-related studies), safeguards planning and ESS documentation, stakeholder engagement plans, and other annexes required for the CEO Endorsement Package, ensuring consistency with national priorities and project objectives. • Facilitate the collection, verification and consolidation of co-financing commitments, in coordinating with IUCN, MECENR, pre-identified co-executing agencies and key partners, and ensuring that the cofinance documentation meets GEF requirements. • Provide regular progress updates to IUCN and MECENR, proactively flagging risks and bottlenecks and proposing mitigation measures to keep the PPG process on track. • Support the final packaging and submission of a complete, coherent and high quality CEO Endorsement Request package, including all required annexes. • Carry out any other relevant tasks, as requested by IUCN or MECENR, in support of the efficient and successful delivery of the project’s PPG phase. Duration of the Assignment The consultancy will run from 27 February 2026 to 12 December 2026. The assignment includes up to 30 days of input, with the majority of time allocated between March and August 2026 to support the preparation and submission of the full-sized project to the GEF. The remaining period, expected to run from August to December 2026, will cover the GEF review and approval process, during which the consultant may be called upon to coordinate the collection of ad hoc technical inputs and ensure that responses to reviewers’ and GEF Task and/or Project Manager’s comments are delivered within GEF timelines and are technically sound, including, where required, consultations with stakeholders and IUCN internal experts. Deliverables The consultant will provide the following deliverables and carry out the following activities, in coordination with IUCN, MECENR, and the project design and preparation consultants/team: KEY DELIVERABLE 1: Development of a draft PPG workplan and methodology, including consultation and logistical needs, and co-coordinate preliminary consultation meetings between IUCN, MECENR and the Co executing Agencies, as well as the kick-off meeting with the chosen project design/preparation consultants and key stakeholders This deliverable will establish the analytical and operational foundations of the PPG phase. It entails the development of a draft preliminary PPG workplan and methodology setting out the overall approach, sequencing of activities, consultation strategy, and logistical arrangements required to deliver the CEO Endorsement package within GBFF timelines. As the overall assignment will include the co coordination of preliminary consultation meetings between IUCN, the Ministry of Environment, Climate, Energy and Natural Resources (MECENR), and the Co-executing Agencies, as well as the facilitation of a kick-off meeting with the selected project design and preparation consultants and the above stakeholders , the objective is to ensure early alignment on roles, expectations, timelines, and quality standards, and to provide a common reference framework guiding all subsequent PPG activities.

Withdrawals and Changes You may freely withdraw or change your proposal at any time prior to the submission deadline by written notice to the IUCN Contact. However, to reduce the risk of fraud, no changes or withdrawals will be accepted after the submission deadline. EVALUATION of PROPOSALS Completeness Pre-Qualification Criteria Technical Evaluation Scoring Method IUCN will firstly check your proposal for completeness. Incomplete proposals will not be considered further. Only proposals that meet all the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. Your proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high. Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. Technical Score Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your proposal’s overall technical score. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your financial proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest financial proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your financial proposal. Thus, for example, if your financial proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest financial proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% Total Score Your proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose proposal achieves the highest total score.

The audit includes both the financial audit as well as the compliance and performance audit of the project. The audit will cover the financial statements for the period 01-04-2025 to 31-12-2025 presented as per the financial statements template applicable to DGBP projects. Background The Danida Green Business Partnerships (DGBP) supports partnerships between commercial and non-commercial partners based on an innovative business case with an impact in developing countries and works in coherence with Danish strategic priorities in the partner countries. Each partnership contributes to green transition, inclusive growth, job creation and improved livelihoods. The programme is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (DMFA) and administered by an external DGBP Secretariat, hereinafter the Secretariat. The administrative requirements are described in the DGBP Administrative Guidelines with the latest version being available at https://danida-business-partnerships.dk/resources. In view of the above IUCN is implementing the Resilient Soybean for Empowerment in Tanzania (RESET) project consortium that delivers market-driven climate-resilient solutions and improvement in soybean that will lead to improved productivity, technology transfer, value addition, and efficiency of all actors along the chain. The project targets farmer organisations, processors and MSMEs in the supply chain through a partnership that will address supply related constraints and markets. It supports investments that effectively mainstream responsible business practices and green growth. The project consortium is composed of IUCN, TANFEEDS, Andritz Feed & Biofuel and E-Soko and is focused on TANFEED’s business case in soybean and animal feed. The overall project objective is to develop and implement sustainable, climate-adaptive smallholder farmers practices across soybean value chain, enhancing the resilience of production systems and market access while promoting the commercialization with the private sector and MSMEs to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change. This will be achieved through development of a vibrant deforestation-free soy value chain that will attract more investments and promotion of scalable climate smart agriculture solutions, human capital development and inclusive business that boost employment and agency for smallholder farmers, women, and youth. In turn this is expected drive market system aggregation to reduce inefficiency and costs. Project Outcomes: The RESET partnership focuses on three main interlinked outcomes that will enhance commercialisation of soy in target regions while mainstreaming ecosystem and biodiversity management to reduce vulnerability of smallholder farmers, women and youth. Outcome 1: Improved adaptive capacity and resilience of smallholder farmers’ livelihoods. This outcome focuses on scaling uptake of climate smart technologies and innovation through technical assistance of smallholder farmers and expanding their access to timely market information through interaction with downstream actor i.e. TANFEEDS and others including farmer associations. This will help reduce vulnerability of smallholder farmers, youth and women to shocks and climate related hazards. In Tanzania, agriculture suffers estimated average annual losses of around USD 200 million due to weather, pests and disease, which have increased in severity and frequency over the past four decades. Smallholder farmers who are the main targeted people in the RESET project are as well highly vulnerable to these negative trends especially those caused by climate variability and change low application of technology and market failures. Outcome 2: Enhanced land health by use of agro-ecological farm management strategies in the farming system. This outcome will support initiatives that foster sustainable use of land, water and other natural resources in the target ecosystems and districts within the project regions. This will focus on activities that will target addressing challenges related loss of ecosystems, land degradation, low productivity and environmental pollution. Being a legume crop, soy can sequester nitrogen in the soil, with that reducing the need for chemical fertilizers in the follow up crop and benefiting soil quality in the long run. Furthermore, increasing the soy area in the target regions can have a positive impact on biodiversity. Outcome 3: Improved technology uptake leading to increased business efficiency, turnover and job creation for youth and women. Under this outcome, the aim is to establish functional and tailor-made business linkages with market actors which are core in improving business performance and market access for women, men, youth and MSMEs. The project understand that both farmers and businesses require assistance to identify potential partners and to manage risks related to such linkages. The intervention will involve an initial mapping of the current state to determine the required capacity building trajectory and support. The areas of focus include human capital development, access to market and provisioning of technology. This will further include a more detailed assessment on responsible business conduct. Objectives The overall objective of the audit is to provide the DMFA with confidence in financial information provided to the DMFA by IUCN. By providing an opinion on the financial statements, and by reporting findings and observations, the audit company provides part of the basis on which the DMFA will assess the compliance of relevant legislative and regulatory requirements. The objective of the financial audit is to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements regarding funds granted through the DMFA are free from material misstatements. The objective of the compliance audit is to obtain reasonable assurance whether transactions covered by the financial statements comply with the appropriations granted, statutes, other regulations, agreements, and usual practice. Similarly, the objective of the performance audit is to make an assessment to obtain reasonable assurance whether the systems, processes, or transactions examined support the exercise of sound financial management in the administration of the funds granted through the DMFA. The audit will also aim to provide IUCN with an external assessment of the financial capacity and established business processes. This includes providing observations and recommendations as part of the audit. Scope The scope of the audit includes a financial audit as well as a compliance and performance audit. The financial audit must be carried out in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Other frameworks of auditing than ISAs are accepted as a basis for the audit provided these frameworks result in an audit equivalent to an audit planned and performed according to the ISAs and International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI). This will require the audit company to plan and perform procedures based on risk assessment and materiality. Therefore, the audit company must: Identify and assess risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. Based on the risks identified, the auditor must design and perform relevant audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the auditor’s opinion. Obtain an understanding of the internal controls relevant to the audit, in order to design appropriate audit procedures. The purpose is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls, but whether these controls pertain to the project costs. Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used in the financial statements, including the reasonableness of estimates and related disclosures. In relation to funds granted through the DMFA, this is particularly relevant for accounting policies regarding project costs. The specific audit procedures that may be relevant for the financial audit are specified further below in section 5.

Our vision is a world where every young person thrives and belongs. We believe all young people should have the opportunity to fulfil their aspirations and create their own futures. To help achieve this goal, we develop initiatives that: deliver lasting, measurable impact; are powered by partnerships across the globe; stay true to our core programming principles; and respond to the priorities and aspirations of the people with whom we work. WUSC is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, and has offices across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East. Our global team of development professionals bring deep expertise and open minds to identify new solutions to old problems and create a better world together. WUSC offers a dynamic international work environment with a diverse intercultural workforce. We offer employees exciting opportunities to apply their skills and gain experience all while making a difference for youth around the world. Employees at WUSC work hard to create lasting change in the communities they serve. Project Description: Pending approval, WUSC is launching the second phase (2026-2031) of an exciting initiative, which aims to expand efforts to help refugee, displaced significantly, and host community (RDP) youth, particularly young women, secure dignified and fulfilling work and access education opportunities across Africa. Building on prior successes, this Phase II will deepen engagement in new geographies, strengthen local ecosystems, and equip partners with necessary knowledge and tools for lasting change. A core strategy is emphasizing the engagement and strengthening of Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) to provide sustainable, locally-led technical assistance. Over the next five years, Phase II’s ambitious goals include indirectly enabling one million RDP youth to secure dignified work and 35,000 to access education through the provision of expert technical assistance to a broad ecosystem of actors. Key implementation strategies involve working closely with RLOs through three pathways: providing financial access via an RLO Opportunity Fund, strengthening their capacity to provide technical assistance to partners, and embedding them across Phase II’s functional areas. WUSC will serve as a network orchestrator, facilitating connections for scale and training partners and other stakeholders on RDP inclusion. The initiative will achieve its targets by increasing knowledge among partners, enhancing capacity to develop innovative programming, improving collaboration and inclusive policies, and strengthening the institutional ability of RLOs to design, implement, and sustain RDP solutions. RESPONSIBILITIES The RDP Technical Specialists will be part of the Technical Assistance Mechanism (TAM) established under the project, which aims to strengthen the inclusion of refugee and displaced youth in education and employment across the initiative’s donor and its partners. The overall goal is to indirectly enable one million RDP youth to secure dignified and fulfilling work and 35,000 to access education through technical assistance. The RDP Technical Specialist is responsible for providing demand-driven, standardised technical assistance (TA) and expert guidance on the inclusion of Refugee and Displaced Persons (RDP) to donor staff and their implementing partners. The RDP Technical Specialists will work under the direction of the Head of the Technical Assistance Mechanism to support the following objectives: Technical Assistance Delivery Provide expert technical assistance and guidance to donor staff and partners to co-develop strategies and action plans that mainstream RDP inclusion across their programs in a variety of thematic areas and geographies: Support in the co-creation of concept notes, review of EOIs, and the co-creation of proposals to provide a Refugee and Displaced Persons lens to the staff and partners of the donor in the development of new programming.

Support donor team members and partners to feature RDP at events, including World Refugee Day, learning workshops, stakeholder convenings, and RDP youth meetings to share learnings on various RDP contexts. Enhance the capacity of the donor’s staff and partners to develop, test, and scale innovative programming that improves education and economic opportunities for RDP youth. Support a training-of-trainers (ToT) approach with donor RDP focal points, the Youth Technical Advisory Committee, and refugee led organizations (RLOs) to embed technical knowledge internally for long-term sustainability. Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) Support Deliver demand-driven TA and institutional strengthening to RLOs to enhance their ability to design, implement, and sustain solutions for RDP access to education and dignified work.

FEWS NET Nigeria Country Technical Senior Specialist – Conflict

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 22:54:06 +0000

Introduction The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) is an integrated set of activities funded by the United States Government (USG) and is intended to provide timely, accurate, evidence-based, and transparent food insecurity early warning information and analysis. Created in 1985 in response to famines in East and West Africa, FEWS NET provides global coverage of acute food insecurity. FEWS NET’s work is implemented across several mechanisms by a team of partners that includes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the University of California-Santa Barbara’s Climate Hazards Center (UCSB-CHC), University of Maryland’s Department of Geographical Sciences, American Institutes for Research (AIR), and Chemonics International (Chemonics). Chemonics implements FEWS NET’s Decision Support Team (DST), which is charged with providing integrated monitoring and analyses of current and forecast acute food insecurity in countries worldwide to support the United States Government’s (USG) policy and programmatic decisions. The DST operates through a Washington-based technical office, regional FEWS NET offices, and national staff presence in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and eastern Europe. FEWS NET’s objective is to produce timely, evidence-based decision support to enable the efficient allocation of humanitarian assistance on the basis of need. Based on an in-depth understanding of local livelihoods, FEWS NET monitors information and data on factors that affect food security, such as conflict, weather and agroclimatology, crops, pasture, markets and trade, and nutrition. The FEWS NET DST produces regular reports, including Food Security Outlooks and Outlook Updates, emergency alerts, market and price updates, and targeted analyses. FEWS NET makes reports available at www.fews.net and distributes them globally to governments, relief agencies, and other organizations engaged in humanitarian response and development programs. The eighth phase of FEWS NET began in 2024.

Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. Scoring Method Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high. 5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. 5.3.3. Technical Score Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposal’s overall technical score. 5.4. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal. Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% 5.5. Total Score Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

Phase 2 of BIODEV2030 was preceded by phase I, which took place from 2020 to 2022 and intended to advance the integration of biodiversity in the economic sectors, through the promotion of voluntary commitments in economic sectors that most threaten biodiversity. The first phase of BIODEV2030 was implemented through three components: the first on the multistakeholder dialogue informed by a second component of scientific results on the state, trends, and threats to biodiversity in the country and the situational analysis on the opportunities and challenges for the implementation of voluntary commitments in forestry, agriculture and livestock (focusing on pastoralism), followed by a third component of exchange of experiences and knowledge sharing between implementing countries. In Kenya, the project ended up identifying voluntary commitments for crop production (horticulture), livestock production and agroforestry (with a focus on wood energy). BIODEV2030 phase 2 has three specific objectives: 1. Support the national public authorities in identifying the sectoral public policy instruments (SPPIs) of the priority sectors and possible reforms to encourage this change in practices. 2. Develop an action plan in a pilot area / landscape that defines the necessary changes in practices needed to achieve positive impacts on target biodiversity values, and the clear actions that are needed to achieve such changes, further formulated into a bankable project proposal for implementation at the end of BIODEV2030 phase 2 (i.e. February 2026). 3. Develop the capacity of the key actors in mainstreaming and financing biodiversity projects. Through Specific Objective 1, BIODEV2030 phase 2 will support the public authorities on analyzing how well the existing SPPIs are aligned with the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Agreement and provide recommendations for strengthening their alignment. In 2025, the BIODEV2030 project developed a policy brief on “Aligning public policy instruments to biodiversity conservation in Kenya’s forestry sector.” The policy brief finds that at the county-level, permits are prone to misuse, masking illegal trade. It recommends that digitization of permits and fast-tracking of the charcoal regulations can enhance traceability and enforcement as well as conservation of biodiversity hotspots. In this context, the IUCN Kenya Country office is collaborating with the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry to develop a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) report for the Draft Charcoal Regulations 2025. Introduction to the assignment The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry has drafted the Forest Conservation and Management (Charcoal) Regulations 2025. The Regulations are meant to provide detailed guidelines on the production, trade, and management of charcoal in Kenya. The Regulations aim to enhance regulation in the charcoal sector through the registration and licensing of commercial producers, while promoting the sustainable management of trees and forest resources on both community and private lands. They further encourage the adoption of efficient production technologies such as modern kilns to minimize wood wastage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the Regulations provide for the establishment and enforcement of standards governing the packaging, storage, transportation, and trade of charcoal, coupled with strengthened law enforcement to curb illegal production and trading activities. The Regulations elaborate on the obligations of the Kenya Forest Service, the County Government, charcoal producers and traders in regard to regulating charcoal business in the country. Importantly, the Regulations allow the production and transportation of charcoal for subsistent use. In accordance with the Statutory Instruments Act, No. 23 of 2013, a regulation that is likely to have a direct or indirect significant impact on business, the economy, the environment, or the administration of justice must be accompanied by a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). Charcoal production and trade directly affect forest resources, rural livelihoods, energy access, and local economies, particularly among vulnerable and low-income households. There is therefore a need to develop a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) report for the Draft Charcoal Regulations 2025 to ensure that the proposed regulations are evidence-based, proportionate, and responsive to the socio-economic and environmental realities of the charcoal sub-sector. The RIA will systematically assess the anticipated environmental, social, and economic impacts of the Draft Regulations, including compliance costs, enforcement and institutional implications, and effects on producers, transporters, traders, consumers, and county governments. It will also help identify potential unintended consequences such as increased illegal production, market distortions, or livelihood losses and evaluate feasible regulatory and non-regulatory options to achieve sustainability objectives at least cost. The Ministry in collaboration with International Union for Conservation of Nature and under advisory of Technical Working Group appointed by the Ministry, seeks to engage a consultant to develop a RIA for the Regulations. Scope of Work The work shall be guided by Kenya’s existing policy, legal, and institutional frameworks relevant to the forestry and charcoal sub-sector, including the Constitution of Kenya, the Forest Conservation and Management Act and the Energy Act. The consultant shall draw on applicable regulatory standards, best practice in Regulatory Impact Assessment, and available national data to identify appropriate indicators, data types, and information sources necessary to assess the economic, social, environmental, and administrative impacts of the proposed regulations. These will inform the collection of baseline and contextual data through a combination of desk reviews of Kenyan policy and sectoral documents, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and structured stakeholder consultations and workshops, which will collectively serve as the primary data collection framework for undertaking the task: 1. Review the Regulations and analyze the means and alternative options of achieving the objectives of the same, including regulatory and non-regulatory measures. 2. Facilitate public participation workshops (virtual/physical) for collection of comments and validation of findings by the regulated communities. 3. Collect, analyze and document all comments and submissions given by the public, and submit the same in seven (7) bound and clearly marked sets. 4. Prepare a Regulatory Impact Assessment as per the set legal requirements, which should include: a) A statement of objectives on the proposed Regulations and the reasons for the same b) A statement explaining the expected effect of the proposed legislation c) A statement of other practicable means of achieving the same objectives (including regulatory and non-regulatory) d) An Assessment of the expected costs and benefits of the proposed Regulations and any other practicable means of achieving the same objectives, which should include an assessment of the expected economic, social and environmental impact and the likely administration and compliance costs including resources allocation. 5. Prepare and submit independent advice as the regulatory impact assessment 6. Prepare a Certificate to be signed by the Cabinet Secretary in line with relevant provisions of the Statutory Instruments Act of 2013 Key Deliverables 1. Inception report- describing detailed methodology for the RIA, an interpretation of the ToRs, timeline, stakeholder engagement plan and identified data sources and gaps. 2. Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS)- detailing findings from white and grey literature and stakeholder consultations, comprehensive analysis of the likely economic, social, environmental, and administrative impacts of the draft regulations, regulatory options and their costs/benefits, potential risks, trade-offs, and mitigation measures and preliminary recommendations. 3. Final RIA Report - integrating feedback from stakeholders and validation workshops into the final RIA report, including proposed revisions to the draft regulations, if required. Duration of the assignment The consultancy is estimated to take a total of 8 weeks spread across 2 months (16th March- 31st May, 2026). The present TORs may be subject to modification, without changing the overall objectives and scope of the work, based on mutual consultations. Supervision and coordination The consultant will report to and work under the supervision of the Senior Programme Officer, Climate and Biodiversity Engagement at IUCN in close collaboration with the Forest Development Secretary at the State Department of Forestry. Regular progress reports will be provided to the Technical Working Group (TWG) appointed by the Ministry through the State Department for Forestry throughout the project period (1st February- 30th April 2026). These reports ill include updates on project milestones, budget expenditures, and any challenges encountered. Additionally, ad-hoc reports will be generated as needed to address specific concerns or provide detailed insights into project progress.

End Term Evaluation Consultancy

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 22:31:18 +0000

Call for Expression of Interest End Term Evaluation – Sightsavers Ireland’s Le Chéile Programme Fee: To be negotiated Location: Global (team members will be needed in some of the programme countries: Cameroon, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ireland) End of consultancy: 31 December 2026 Programme name: Le Chéile: Together for an inclusive better world, under Ireland’s Civil Society Partnership (ICSP) for A Better World (ABW) funding stream. Programme background Sightsavers Ireland’s programme ‘Le Chéile: Together for an inclusive better world’, also known as Ireland’s Civil Society Partnership (ICSP) for A Better World Programme, aims to bring about positive transformative change in systems, services and experiences for target populations to reach those furthest behind first (especially people with disabilities, women and girls) in selected Central and West African countries (Cameroon, Liberia, Senegal and Sierra Leone), and through global citizenship education in Ireland. Five themes are covered by the programme – inclusive eye health (IEH), inclusive education (IE), citizenship and political participation (CPP), global citizenship education (GCE) and climate action (CA). To achieve this, the programme focuses on sustainably strengthening citizenship, education, health and climate action systems so that targeted populations can claim their rights to healthcare and education and contribute to decisions that affect their lives. Please read the Terms of Reference for the full programme background, impact, and outcomes. Evaluation context and purpose Le Chéile is a five-year programme, and it is a donor requirement to conduct an external, independent End-term Evaluation (ETE). In accordance with the donor guidance, Sightsavers’ has planned for this to take place in 2026 (using evidence and data from the first three years of the programme) in order to ensure that results are available in time to inform the design of follow-on programming. The ETE has two main purposes: To assess performance and delivery of the Le Chéile programme by applying Sightsavers Ireland’s adapted set of OECD DAC criteria to review the programme in the areas of Relevance, Coherence, Effectiveness, (emerging) Impact, Sustainability, and Equity and Inclusion. To identify learning and good practice to be shared with key stakeholders and inform the design of the next iteration of the ICSP programme, with particular focus on the ICSP’s thematic process outcomes of Furthest Behind First, Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus and Locally Led Development. Scope The ETE will cover the programme period from its inception in January 2023 up to June 2026. This means there will still be 1.5 years of implementation left at the time of the evaluation, which will therefore need to be clear in identifying ‘emerging’ impact of the programme. The ETE will cover all thematic areas, with a focus on cross-cutting workstreams such as gender, young people and locally led development. The evaluation will seek to involve people with different types of disabilities and impairments, to understand a variety of experiences. Outputs/deliverables The expected key outputs of the ETE include: A first, second and final draft inception report in English detailing the overall technical approach and methodology. The first and final drafts will also be produced in French. Inception stage two tools – detailed data collection plan, stakeholder selection, data collection tools (e.g., KII and FGD guides, questionnaires, other participatory tools, tested and translated as necessary) – as well as draft and final documentation required for any in-country ethical approval. First, second, third and final draft evaluation report in English including key findings against the evaluation questions, key learning and a comprehensive list of recommendations. The first and final drafts will also be produced in French. Anonymised data sets (Excel or Word files) for all primary data (quantitative and qualitative). Final short summary document (or slides, as agreed) summarising the key findings and learning of the report in an engaging and accessible format. This is to be delivered by the consultants during an all staff learning webinar (and should be budgeted accordingly). Draft and final additional communication and dissemination materials in English, for example infographics, or other multi-media outputs, to be agreed at inception stage. The final versions will also be produced in French. Evaluation team The evaluation will be contracted to an external team of consultants through an open tender. Team members should have the following core competencies and experience: Extensive experience in monitoring and evaluation for international development project/programmes, with excellent skills in both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Thematic expertise in inclusive citizenship, inclusive education, inclusive eye health, global citizenship education (preferably within Ireland) and climate action, as well as strong experience/ understanding of social behaviour change and advocacy/policy influencing processes. Strong understanding and expertise of the programme and project contexts at national and regional level. Prior experience working in the programme countries in West Africa, including data collection experience, is essential. Comprehensive understanding of preferred practices/policy issues at global and local level in the different thematic areas. Experience of carrying out multi-country evaluations and learning exercises of an appropriate scale. Experience of inclusive and participatory data collection for people with disabilities, including youth, and understanding of accessibility and safeguarding principles for all stages of the evaluation process. Capacity to provide dedicated project management and coordination of the evaluation process (at least one team member should be dedicated to administration and coordination).

Institutional and capacity assessment of AFC as an apex DFI for green and sustainable financing in the agricultural sector

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 22:27:23 +0000

BACKGROUND Financial Sector Deepening Kenya (FSD Kenya) is an independent trust dedicated to the achievement of a financial system that delivers value for a green and inclusive digital economy while improving financial health and capability for women and micro and small enterprises (MSEs). FSD Kenya works closely with the public sector, the financial services industry, and other partners to develop financial solutions that better address the real-world challenges low-income households, micro and small enterprises, and underserved groups such as women and youth face. Current FSD Kenya funders include the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), The Gates Foundation, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the French Development Agency (AFD). The Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) was established in 1969 by an Act of Parliament (the Agricultural Finance Corporation Act (Cap 323 Laws of Kenya) to provide affordable credit to actors in Kenya’s agricultural value chains. The specific objective and mandate as set out in the Act is to ‘’assist in the development of agriculture and agricultural industries by making loans to farmers, cooperative societies, incorporated group representatives, private companies, public bodies, local authorities and other persons engaging in agriculture or agricultural industries’’. With a network spread across the country, AFC’s current mission is to provide sustainable financing though participative and collaborative financial and non-financial interventions, innovations, technology and products. In the recent past, AFC has undergone a strategic refocusing with the objective of transforming into a sustainable and impactful market maker in Kenya’s agricultural finance market. Part of this transformation has included a shift in its operating model to incorporate wholesale financing as one of its business models, adding on to its existing retail lending model. Under its wholesale financing model, AFC provides wholesale funds to SACCOs, microfinance institutions and anchor clients that in turn finance unserved and underserved segments in the agricultural value chains. In addition to wholesale financing, AFC has also implemented other new business models including warehouse receipt financing, mechanization financing and the provision of credit guarantees to de-risk agricultural enterprises. In recognition of its transformation, AFC was selected as the apex institution to implement the Green Finance Facility (GFF) under the Rural Kenya Financial Inclusion Facility (RK-FINFA) Project. RK-FINFA is a six-year development project financed jointly by the IFAD and the Government of Kenya to support the transformation of rural and smallholder agriculture through private sector-led development by improving access to affordable and appropriate financial services by smallholder farmers and micro, small and medium enterprises. The GFF is established as a facility to provide wholesale capital to rural oriented SACCOs, microfinance banks (MFBs) and microfinance institutions for on-lending to smallholder farmers and rural micro enterprises for financing activities and projects in climate change adaptation and mitigation, improved environmental management and improved efficiencies in the use of natural resources. AFC’s allocation under the GFF is KShs 1.080bn with three Microfinance Banks and five SACCOs already contracted for wholesale financing for on-lending to retail borrowers. AFC’s role under the GFF is pivotal to address two key interrelated challenges. First, Kenya’s agricultural sector is highly vulnerable to climate change and climate variability. The dependence on rain-fed agriculture and the occurrence of extreme weather events including flooding and drought have significantly impacted production and productivity, with direct effects on Kenya’s food security and cascading effect on the economy. At the same time, the agricultural sector has an important impact on land use and land cover including deforestation and forest degradation as large swathes of land are cleared and converted into farmland. Second, while finance plays a pivotal role in greening Kenya’s economic growth and has been identified as a critical enabler for climate change mitigation and adaptation, the financing of green investments remains limited due to several factors. By one measure, Kenya’s total annual financing gap is estimated at USD 5.13bn. Further downstream, survey data shows that households’ access to formal finance for green investments remain low. Discussions with key potential wholesale borrowers of the GFF indicate strong demand for capital for innovative green investments. Leading financial institutions consider green financing as a key strategy in their future operations, and some are already offering green products to their clients. A key medium-term target of the GFF is to proactively increase the capital base through additional investments by other financiers with a green agenda including development finance institutions, green investment funds and UN funded programmes. This is largely informed by the recognition of the potential scale of demand and the financing gap and the imperative to scale the GFF operations and the role of AFC in financing green investments in the agricultural sector. The ability and success of AFC to qualify for and mobilize capital from investors and institutions focused on green investments requires it to align its operations and capacity with international best-practice and global standards in green and sustainable financing. This will also require AFC to obtain suitable sustainability accreditation and to develop a Green Financing strategy. In line with these ambitions, FSD Kenya with funding from the French Development Agency (AFD) is seeking the services of a consultancy firm to support AFC to become investor-ready to attract and mobilize green and sustainable finance in the agricultural sector. This consultancy is financed under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in May 2025 between the National Treasury (NT) of the Republic of Kenya and AFD, which formalises the reallocation of the unutilised balance from the Microfinance Sector Support Credit (MFSSC) to the RK-FINFA project. It contributes directly to the implementation of Sub-component 3.1 of the RK-FINFA project (“Enabling rural finance environment”), which aims to promote the creation of a conducive policy and institutional environment for increased rural financial intermediation and agricultural transformation in Kenya. In accordance with the MoU, AFD funds are hosted by FSD Kenya and the National Treasury, and managed through the Directorate of Budget, Fiscal and Economic Affairs (BFEA) as the lead implementing agency of the RK-FINFA project. OBJECTIVE The primary objective is to conduct an institutional and capacity assessment and a gap analysis of the Agricultural Finance Corporation to evaluate its readiness and effectiveness as a sustainable and commercially viable Development Finance Institution for promoting green and sustainable financing in Kenya’s agricultural sector. SCOPE OF WORK This Terms of Reference covers the Phase One of a phased strategy to position AFC as an apex DFI for green and sustainable agricultural financing. This phase will provide a comprehensive appraisal of AFC’s institutional, governance, regulatory, and operational framework, as well as an analysis of the market for green and sustainable finance in Kenya’s agricultural sector. The objective is to identify AFC’s strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, and to define the reforms and capacity-building needs required for AFC to act as an effective apex institution in green and sustainable financing. Findings from Phase One will inform Phase Two, which will focus on developing and implementing a Green Finance Strategy, a Capacity Development Programme, and governance and operational frameworks to position AFC as an apex institution for green and sustainable financing. This phase will operationalize the recommendations of the institutional and market assessment by translating them into concrete strategies, systems, and capacity-building actions that strengthen AFC’s readiness to mobilize and manage sustainable finance resources. Phase Two will be implemented under a separate Terms of Reference and consultancy arrangement. Implementation of Phase Two will be subject to a formal no-objection from AFD, based on the satisfactory completion and endorsement of the phase 1 assessment report. Specific scope of work for Phase One and tasks for the consultant shall include: Institutional assessment of AFC’s current mandate, governance structure, operational design and operational frameworks and assess the required alignment with the role as an apex DFI for green and sustainable financing. This assessment should at minimum examine: AFC market and financial performance including product base and business models. Formal governance and management structures including supervisory oversight Resource base required to support growth, including financial, staff, brand and market position, competitive advantage(s) balance sheet, etc. Control base, including structures and systems used to organize resources, organizational structure, technology, management and enterprise systems Governance, operational, commercial and financial and credit policies and procedures. Reference should be made to AFC’s performance against the standards agreed by the African Association of Development Finance Institutions. 2. Conduct a market analysis to evaluate the opportunities for green financing in the agricultural sector and assess the potential expanded role that AFC could play as an apex financier. This should include: an analysis of market actors and the sources of green and sustainable wholesale financing in the agricultural sector; a comparative analysis of AFC’s strengths and gaps relative to other DFIs and financial institutions, and opportunities for AFC to leverage partnerships; a rapid assessment of AFC’s plan to transition into wholesale financing with the target of raising the wholesale lending portfolio from 10% to 65% as stated in the Strategic Plan for the period 2023-2027; and, the related risk management and organizational implications. 3. Conduct a review of AFC’s emerging Environmental & Social Management System (ESMS) with a focus on smallholders, climate-smart agriculture and gender. This should include an assessment of AFC’s current impact monitoring and measurement framework, and the identification of gaps and capacity required to establish a robust measurement framework that aligns with relevant SDG targets and that enhance AFC’s ability to report and monitor its sustainable financing interventions. 4. Conduct an analysis of the proposed merger with the Commodities Fund and see how this would affect AFC’s ability to attract external financing. Review the new organization of AFC suggested by the National Treasury and see if it must be adapted to maintain the objective of external financing. 5. Conduct a review of the policy, legal and regulatory framework with a view to identify potential reforms consistent with AFC’s current and future role as a recognized entity capable of attracting and deploying sustainability-linked financing in the agricultural sector. 6. Based on the findings from the market analysis, institutional and capacity assessment and legal and regulatory review, conduct a benefit and feasibility analysis of candidate accreditation standards/sustainability certification frameworks and recommend a suitable and appropriate status and governance framework (including rules for appointment, board management, decision-making and autonomy…), to facilitate partnerships between AFC and sustainability-orientated investors in line with identified market opportunities and gaps. 7. Based on the gap analysis, market, institutional and legal review, develop: A comprehensive action plan to address, amongst others, the institutional, governance, operational and supervisory gaps identified in the gap analysis, including the resources and capacity required to make meaningful and viable progress towards a sustainable DFI in the agricultural sector. A comprehensive Green Finance and Sustainability Strategy for AFC, integrating climate-related opportunities, risks, monitoring, evaluation, and reporting frameworks. This should be in line with the accreditation standard/sustainability certification identified in 3.6 above. DELIVERABLES Phase 1: Inception report – setting out the proposed methodology to be followed, timelines for delivery, plan for stakeholder engagement, and key policy issues that need to be agreed on from the outset. The inception report should not be framed so much in the traditional sense of expressing an understanding of the TOR. Rather, it should contain the key areas of focus, gaps, advice that needs to be considered from the outset. It should be accompanied by a work plan detailing the time to be taken. There will be a draft inception report, and once comments are incorporated, a final version. In preparing the work plan, the consultant will factor in two workshops (kick off and final validation workshop) and ten working days for stakeholder feedback to the draft report.

These engagements will be crucial as work progresses in order to keep validating the work, address emerging concerns and ensure strong buy-in. The consultants will be expected to draw from previous and on-going relevant work undertaken by IFAD, AFD, AFC and FSD Kenya and other institutions to avoid duplication and leverage synergies. There will be combination of desk-based work at the initial stage but this will quickly transit to regular and intensive in-country visits. All reports and background work provided by FSD Kenya must not held confidentially and should be circulated to any other parties, unless with prior written approval from FSD. AFC as the end client and FSD Kenya as the contracting entity will jointly sign off on all the deliverables as listed in these Terms of Reference to facilitate payment by FSD Kenya.
