AKF Kenya is seeking applications from qualified consultants or firms to lead the data collection part of the Baseline Study. This Terms of Reference (ToR) outlines the responsibilities of the local consultant(s)/firm, who will implement the study tools and data collection within the country for the baseline study.
Objectives of the Baseline Study
The overall objective of the STRIDES baseline study is to help stakeholders understand the pre-implementation context in project geographies and help lay the groundwork for successful results-based management during implementation. The baseline study is designed to achieve four specific objectives:
To establish baseline values and additional qualitative insights for selected outcome-level indicators in the project’s Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) and assess indicator feasibility and relevance.
To provide an evidence base on which the project team can define targets for selected outcome indicators in the PMF and provide suggestions for the review of indicators if and where necessary.
To inform the establishment of realistic and achievable targets, as a point of reference against which progress towards the achievement of outcomes can be monitored and evaluated.
To provide recommendations for fine-tuning the project implementation and Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) strategies.
Scope of the Study in Kenya
The baseline study will be done in Kilifi County in target sub counties in Kilifi County (Ganze, Kilifi North, Malindi, Rabai, and Kaloleni), all led by the lead consultant and technical support from the Local consultant.
