This support highlights the critical role of women and youth smallholder farmers. The strategy is committed to empowering over 405,000 farmers during the CSP period, generating over USD 150 million of aggregated purchasing demand in the country.

To achieve this, WFP is implementing several programmes and projects focused on smallholder farmers including the five-year “Strengthening Food Systems to Empower Smallholder Farmers and Young People” Project, locally known as “Vijana KIlimo Biashara (VKB)”. VKB implementation is in its 3rd year of implementation where, as a requirement from the donor, an outcome monitoring has to be undertaken to assess the “Youth In Work” indicator which will inform to what extent youth are benefitting from the project. WFP therefore wishes to hire a consultant to conduct the youth in work outcome survey in Dodoma and Singida region where the VKB project was implemented in 2023, and to process/analyze the data and produce a survey report.
Under supervision of the head of RAM unit, the consultant will be responsible for undertaking an outcome monitoring survey to inform to what extent Youth In Work has been realized in the seven regions (namely Dodoma, Singida, Tabora, Shinyanga and Simiyu), based on the achievement of the project implementation that targeted 30,000 farmers of which 15,000 are youth in 2023. The consultant will work in coordination with the WFP teams and will supervise the data collection exercise to be handled by enumerator teams in targeted villages. The results of the survey will be presented to the global project coordination team and to the Mastercard Foundation who is the donor for the project in 8 countries including Tanzania.
