Deadline to apply: January, 5th 2015

Background:

PRIME is a five-year, USAID-funded initiative designed to support resilience among pastoralist communities in Ethiopia, and thus enhance prospects for a long-term development in the drylands, where the pastoralist livelihood system prevails. Financed through FTF and GCC, PRIME is designed to be transformative, innovative and achieve scale through market-driven approaches to livestock production and livelihood diversification that simultaneously support dryland communities to adapt to a changing climate.

Purpose / Project Description:

Shortly after inception, PRIME organized a series of EMMA assessments [including fodder and livestock inputs] in its three clusters (Afar, Eastern and Southern) to a) identify and map actors along the value of chains of key importance to pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities as well as people transitioning out of pastoralism, and b) come up with recommendations (EMMA step 10) for each value chain in order to design appropriate interventions during non-emergency and emergency times. In mid-2014, the rainy season under-performed in duration and volume in PRIME areas. Pasture areas in the affected rangeland systems were depleted or far from water points, livestock body condition declined and livestock deaths were reported. Milk productivity declined as well, with fears of child malnutrition in pastoralist communities. As a result, PRIME responded to the emergency by designing a feed and fodder voucher intervention through which communities could access these, linking feed and fodder wholesalers with retailers, and targeting the most vulnerable households with breeding stock along with local authorities.

PRIME is interested in learning if its voucher and market linkage intervention has had any impact as well as do the emergency overlay of the fodder and livestock input EMMAs. For that, PRIME is hiring a consultant to lead the EMMA assessment for fodder and livestock inputs in the three clusters as well as document the outcomes of the emergency intervention PRIME conducted.
