The BOMA Project Rfp for Market and Nutrition Assessment Jobs in Marsabit – Kenya
Background
BOMA is working to lift 3 million people out of extreme poverty by 2027. BOMA’s mission is to provide the people and governments of Africa’s drylands with economic inclusion programs that increase resilience to multiple crises. Founded 15 years ago to eliminate extreme poverty among pastoralist women in Kenya, BOMA has since transformed the lives of more than 704,352 women, youth and refugees in the drylands of Africa. BOMA stands out for its focus on last mile populations of the drylands of Africa, who are most at risk to shocks from climate change and COVID-19, tech savvy and data driven approach, impressive graduation rate and 99% local structure based in Africa.

About the Program
The “Entrepreneurship for food security, nutrition, and child well-being in Marsabit, Northern Kenya and the Simien Mountain Landscape region, Ethiopia” (SOIL) program combines the tested and proven poverty graduation approaches of BOMA and the deep experience and expertise of one of Africa’s oldest and most prominent conservation, wildlife protection, and ecological restoration organizations, African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). We have designed a model that will work with communities in Northern Kenya and Simien Mountains Landscape region in Ethiopia to:
Equip communities to consume and grow a variety of diversified and nutritious food for children, their households, and schools at large.
Coach women to establish viable and profitable micro-enterprises that will increase their income to nurture child well-being and graduate households from extreme poverty to achieve self-reliance
Improve crisis resilience for communities and diversify local sources of income by restoring degraded land and increasing biodiversity.
Over the five-year project period (June 2024-May 2029), this project will reach the following strategic objectives:
Purpose & Objectives
As part of the initial phase of the program, BOMA is conducting a comprehensive market and nutrition assessment with actionable recommendations to inform the implementation of the SOIL program, starting with Marsabit, and a value chain analysis of the potential value chains in Marsabit that align with the program’s strategic objectives. The purpose of this terms of reference (TOR) is intended to identify a suitable Consultant to:
Conduct a secondary review of market and nutrition assessment in Northern Kenya and specifically Marsabit establishing key gaps for primary data collection. The focus should be on the particular target population – extreme poor households, especially those who face food insecurity and malnutrition.
Lead the design to gather insightful primary data for market and nutrition assessment, and value chain analysis of key potential value chains in Marsabit. The value chain analysis should focus on new enterprises at the micro-level that will sustain profitability in the local markets, take into account the target population for the program and contribute to land restoration and biodiversity.
Conduct a comprehensive market and nutrition assessment, and value chain analysis focusing on two regions in Marsabit. As above, the assessment and analysis should take into consideration the specific program strategies, micro-level enterprises, target population, and concerns around land and biodiversity.
Produce a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations based on findings to inform implementation. The recommendations must be actionable, with specific recommended strategies for implementation.
