Consultancy Opportunity at STEP: Financial Literacy Training for Village Savings and Loans Groups
1. Introduction and Background
Southern
Tanzania Elephant Program (STEP), established in 2014 and registered as
I- NGO/R2/00077, is committed to the conservation of elephants in
southern Tanzania. Our mission is to secure a peaceful future for
elephants and their ecosystems by enhancing protection for elephants and
their habitats and promoting human-elephant coexistence.
A key
component of STEP’s programs is supporting communities to establish and
operate Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs). In order to
ensure that every VSLA member is in the position to take out a loan
which they can use for the development of their livelihood and to ensure
that loans can be paid back, STEP is seeking to engage a qualified
consultant to conduct training for three VSLA groups on key financial
literacy and numeracy skills and effective savings and loan management,
in order to maximise the impact of VSLAs, optimise the benefits of
loans, and assist planning for loan repayment.
This training
aims to enable group members to reach their individual goals, understand
how to budget, and help them create plans that set expectations. The
consultant will be required to tailor the curriculum to match the level
of literacy of the group members but also reflect the environment in
which most members are solely dependent on agriculture as a source of
income.
2. Objectives
The main objectives of this consultancy are to:
● Equip VSLA members with essential financial management skills.
● Foster sustainable and effective practices in management of savings and loan
3. Scope of Work
The consultant will be responsible for:
●
Developing a financial literacy and numeracy training curriculum
tailored to VSLAs and the context of the Kilombero Valley. All VSLA
groups have already had training on VSLA governance and operations.
●
Conducting training workshops for 3 VSLA groups (1 day per group) and
STEP Officers (who will become future trainers) to enhance their
management of savings and loans and financial literacy skills.
● Developing a framework for measuring the impact of training sessions through feedback and performance metrics.
● Preparing a final report summarising training outcomes and recommendations.
4. Deliverables
The consultant is expected to deliver:
● Participation in a kick-off meeting with STEP team, before or on October 28th, 2024.
● A detailed training curriculum and materials by November 4th, 2024.
●
A series of three one-day training workshops for VSLA groups and STEP
Officers in the Kilombero Valley, to be completed by November 13th,
2024.
● A final report outlining training effectiveness and future recommendations, to be completed by November 20th, 2024.
5. Duration
The consultancy is expected to kick off no later than October 28th, 2024 and to be completed no later than November 20th, 2024.
6. Fee
The
fee for this consultancy is TZS 4,000,000, inclusive of withholding
tax. Travel to the project area in the Kilombero valley and food and
accommodation in Kilombero will be covered according to standard STEP
rates.
