Purpose, Objectives and Use of the Baseline Study

Johanniter, LOKADO and SAPCONE wishes to hire the services of a qualified consultant to carry out a baseline survey that will establish benchmarks against defined project indicators for tracking project progress and measuring intervention results overtime in line with the project’s impact matrix. The consultant will be supervised by the Johanniter Programme Manager.

The specific objectives of the Baseline study are:

• To provide quantifiable information on the status of target groups including the households in line with the indicators outlined in the project impact matrix.
• To determine baseline evidence which will contribute towards evaluating results/achievements that are attributable to the project
• To aid in making practical and realistic recommendations that need to be considered/ addressed during the Project implementation period and, where applicable, lead to improvement of the Project design, implementation strategies and indicators or set targets.

Scope of Work

The baseline survey will be conducted in 2 target communities (Host and refugee) across the two (Kalobeyei and Lopur) Wards in Turkana West Sub-County.

The baseline survey will also be expected to: –

• Identify and describe opportunities and challenges affecting the targeted farmers and other value chain actors from actively participating across the value chains; with a special focus on women, youth and people with disabilities.
• Carry out a detailed stakeholder analysis in order to understand roles of different actors in the targeted value chain and how that can be enhanced.
• Establish the current status of existing -kitchen garden groups and water sources in the target locations in order to determine their level of operations, strengths and capacity gaps that the project needs to address as well as to inform re- formulation of interventions that will strengthen and promote their sustainable growth for increased production and better returns.
• Analyze how cross cutting topics including gender & social inclusion, nutrition, current knowledge and practice of climate smart agriculture, access to water and the environment will affect the project intervention and the target groups especially the marginalized groups (Youths, Women, & PWDs).
