Consultancy Summary

The Consultant will design and conduct a stakeholder mapping exercise for the Kenya Transition Initiative (KTI) program and come up with a tool that will provide a better understanding of the various institutions present in the regions and the work they do.

The stakeholder mapping will facilitate the development of partnerships between KTI and key state and non state actors for the program in various parts of the country, with greater focus in the Central region to be defined jointly between the consultant and KTI.

Program Description

The KTI program was launched in May 2008 following the signing of the National Accord on Dialogue and Reconciliation in February 2008.

The agreement opened opportunity for KTI to support national and local-level stabilization and transition efforts targeted at recovery and reducing political and social volatility and vulnerability to violence, and moving Kenya forward through another election cycle in 2012 and into the future.

The overall goal of the KTI program is to attain durable stability by supporting Kenya state and non-state actors in promoting national unity rather than ethno-national divisions.

Specifically, KTI program activities are designed to meet either one of two program objectives:

1. To enable public institutions to undertake fundamental reforms and to manage instability and uncertainty.
2. To mobilize the public, especially the youth and key change agents, to demand accountability and reform.

Rationale

As part of its strategy, KTI would like to identify key State and Non State actors and organizations involved in promoting reforms in geographic areas where KTI activities are implemented.

The actors identified will be at the core of a renewed effort to enhance and better support national and local efforts towards capacity building, foster knowledge and information sharing and develop efficient partnerships.

The Consultant(s) will be qualified and possess the relevant experience in each geographic area to collect detailed information on organizations engaged at all levels of KTI’s program areas and processes.

Once the stakeholder database that the Consultants will compile is available, it will be possible for KTI to identify opportunities to partner and connect with other organizations in the field at national, regional and local levels.

Objective

The main aim of the proposed consultancy is to provide a mapping tool that will foster greater effectiveness of KTI programming and efforts through increased participation and strengthened social networks and capacity of stakeholders at all levels.

HOW

ISSUE

• What are real political issues of concern that need redress?
• What should be done about the issues in the next one year?
• Who would be the most relevant actor to engage in redressing of the issues identified?

Work Plan

• Overview of Program
• Expectations of Stakeholder mapping
• Mapping Methodology
• Mapping Framework
• Information Collection and Analysis
