Tenders Are Invited For Consultancy To Facilitate Food Systems Platform Asset Mapping And Resource Mobilization Workshops For Food Systems Platform Members

Tenders are invited for Consultancy to Facilitate Food Systems Platform Asset Mapping and Resource Mobilization Workshops for Food Systems Platform Members in Rubavu and Rusizi Districts. 2. Purpose of the Consultancy Naturally, many people begin their projects by looking at what they lack; usually money. This is called a "Needs-Based" approach. Through Asset mapping, this mindset should be flipped into Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD). The core idea is simple: Every institutions (department, CBO, CSO, business etc.) already sits on a "gold mine" of resources that arent being used. These are not just cash; they are assets like land, trust, knowledge, or equipment. By mapping these first, synergies can be leveraged and partnerships agreed where useful. 3. Overall Objective To facilitate the FSP members in generating an inventory of existing assets and capacities in the local food system to inform sustainable food system transformation at the district level as well as further FSP advocacy efforts. Specific Objectives To facilitate the development and systematic documentation of comprehensive inventories of financial (cash) and non-financial (in-kind) resources available among FSP institutions. Physical and comprehensive inventories of the available financing (cash) and non-financial (in-kind) resources among FSP institutions are available and documented. To facilitate exchange of FSP members have on potential synergies and partnerships based on the available resources. To Strengthen mutual understanding and trust among Food Systems Platform members through comprehension of institutional capacities, complementary roles and partnership opportunities for advancing district food systems priorities. To define next steps of improving the available FSP activity plans to better acknowledge existing synergies 4. Scope of Work The consultant will be engaged for a period of six (6) working days to plan, facilitate and document two one-day Asset Mapping and Resource Mobilization Workshops for Food Systems Platform members in Rubavu and Rusizi Districts. The consultant will coordinate with the NICE Project team and develop the facilitation methodology, workshop agenda, practical exercises and asset mapping tools. The consultant will then facilitate the two workshops using participatory approaches, focusing on group exercises and moderated plenary discussions. Upon completion of the workshops, the consultant will prepare and submit physical, comprehensive maps / inventories / visualizations of the available financing (cash) and non-financial (in-kind) resources available within the platform itself and, where applicable, the district. Furthermore, the consultant also prepares and submits öa comprehensive workshop report summarizing the participants, discussion topics, identified synergies and partnership opportunities incl. next steps discussed and agreed (with timelines) the identified priorities as well for food system transformation and how the platforms are looking to address them, and participant feedback. It is suggested that the workshop will adopt a participatory and practice-oriented approach guided by Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and the Five Capitals Framework, focusing on existing strengths, capacities, relationships, and resources rather than gaps, in the five buckets A) Human Capital The People, The Brains, The Hands, B) Social Capital The Trust, C) Physical Capital The Stuff, D) Natural Capital The Land, The Water, and E) financial capital the Cash. We suggest the workshop is mainly steered through a practical Treasure Hunt exercise in working groups, where participants are foreseen to think about what they already possess, i.e., what is already available in the FSP through FSP member institutions, not only in term of money, but in terms of the five capitals of the Five Capital Framework. This will help clarify the FSPs collective strengths and how these can be leveraged for food systems coordination and investment facilitation. This shall be followed by the same exercise expanded to look at the whole political district level, not only members institutions, mapping key institutions, infrastructure, private sector actors, community resources, ongoing initiatives, partnerships, and other food systems assets that are available beyond the platforms themselves. The generated asset maps shall support FSPs to identify and connect investment opportunities rather than to directly fundraise on behalf of the district. This said, the resulting FSP and district asset maps shall serve as practical resources for partnership development, concept-note development, resource mobilization, and coordinated implementation.
