REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (REOI)
(CONSULTING SERVICES – FIRMS SELECTION)

The Government of Kenya, with financing from the World Bank, invites eligible consulting firms to submit
Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the assignment indicated above under the National Youth Opportunities
Towards Advancement (NYOTA) Project.
The NYOTA Project aims to enhance employment, earnings, and savings among vulnerable youth aged 18–29
years and up to 35 years for Persons with Disabilities across all 47 counties, including refugee-hosting areas.
The consulting services (“the Services”) include Beneficiary Tracer study and Impact Evaluations to assess
the effectiveness of the project interventions. These studies will be carried out six (6) months after each
intervention is completed, with a focus on assessing outcomes such as Skills development and employability;
Employment outcomes and income levels; Savings behaviour and financial inclusion as well as Livelihood
improvements and access to opportunities. The tracer studies will not only assess post-intervention
outcomes but also analyze the factors contributing to success or failure, such as labor market conditions,
socio-economic barriers, and the relevance of training and support interventions to actual employment and
livelihood outcomes.
The consultant(s) will design survey methodologies and instruments, collect and analyze data, and prepare
and submit comprehensive reports. They will be responsible for obtaining necessary permissions, and ensuring
ethical considerations are met, including in refugee areas. They will oversee data collection, provide
training to the field team, conduct pilot surveys, and compile a final tracer report incorporating feedback from
stakeholders. The scope of work involves conducting extensive mixed-methods beneficiary tracer studies
covering the entire project duration, tracing all beneficiaries of the interventions, and analyzing outcomes by
various subgroups.
Interested firms should provide information and proof demonstrating that they have the required qualifications
and relevant experience to perform the Services. The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the
