About the World Resources Institute:
Founded in 1982, The World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global environmental think tank that goes beyond research to put ideas into action. We work with governments, companies, and civil society to build solutions to urgent environmental challenges. WRI’s transformative ideas protect the earth and promote development because sustainability is essential to meeting human needs and fulfilling human aspirations in the future.
Scope of work and outputs/deliverables:
The consultant's scope of work involves conducting a thorough needs assessment to identify the specific training needs of restoration champions with a focus on gender and social equity. This will include engaging with stakeholders, champions (grassroots organizations), WRI, and other partners, to gather insights and recommendations. Based on this assessment, the consultant will develop a comprehensive and culturally relevant training curriculum tailored to restoration champions from the Great Rift Valley region. Additionally, the consultant will create user-friendly training tools, including PowerPoint presentations, training modules, printed materials, and interactive activities, which can be easily adapted by WRI, partners and these grassroots organizations. The consultant will also prepare and present a high-level overview of the training materials and findings to key restoration partners, including WRI pillar leads, Terrafund lead partners, and other stakeholders. Lastly, the consultant will conduct a three-day, in-person training session for restoration champions, providing ongoing support to ensure the effective application of the knowledge and skills gained in their communities.
The ideal consultant must have authorization to carry out this kind of work in Kenya; and should preferably be based in Nairobi or any county within the Great Rift Valley with the ability to travel to Nairobi and other counties within the GRV as needed.
