Practical Action is seeking the services of a consultant/consultancy firm to undertake an assessment on gender and youth vulnerability so as to identify and define specific vulnerabilities of the identified group, to assess the gendered practices, identify opportunities and constraints that can affect agribusiness as a viable livelihood option for young men and women and its potential to transform rural economies.
Practical Action has commenced a five-year project in East Africa, working initially in Kenya with possible scale-up in other countries in the region. The objective of the project is to establish vibrant and inclusive rural economies in East Africa by promoting agricultural livelihoods for the youth underpinned by agro-ecological principles and practices. The project aims to break the cycles of low productivity and increasing rural poverty, through a holistic and gendered approach which will enable young men and women to increase their income through agri-business.
We recognize that gender relations and inequalities faced by young people are fundamental causes of poverty and that women and girls especially may not enjoy the same status, power or access to and control over resources as men and boys. It is critical to develop an in-depth understanding of the incidence, types, and levels of vulnerability in the proposed intervention area as well as the causal factors that contribute to this to ensure that the project is designed and implemented to address the underlying causes of inequality and address the socio-cultural barrier to advancing the role of young men and women in rural economies.
The findings from the assessment will inform further design, implementation and monitoring of the project’s interventions as well as changes in the lives of the individuals benefitting from the proposed interventions.
