Consultant Needed Construction Of Marketstalls at Kilombero Market Garden Area
Consultant at Rikolto in East Africa July 2024
Background:
The
feeding of humanity, the majority of which now lives in cities
worldwide, involves a complex system of ecological, social, and economic
relationships. The world community has acknowledged that the human
right to food must be progressively realized despite the enormous
challenges and inequities that exist in the food systems of both rich
and poor countries. The diverse array of present “food systems” is
changing rapidly on a global scale and will be transformed even more
rapidly as a result of powerful forces. This transformation has become a
major issue for debate amongst traditional and non-traditional actors
and institutions engaged in agriculture.
Similar to many cities
in developing countries, population growth in Arushacity has made access
to food a critical issue since the largest proportion of the population
depends on the local markets for their food. One of the challenges of
the Arusha food system is food safety along the fruits and vegetables
value chain. A study commissionedby
Rikoltoin 2018highlighted the magnitude of contaminated risks in the
fruits and vegetable value chain: 65% of the samples were highly
contaminated with pesticide residual, 52% were highly contaminated with
biological contaminates such as E.coli and about 74% were highly
contaminated by environmental contaminates such as smoke and dust.AII
these can be attributed to food safety gaps resulting from poor food
production practices, post-harvest handling practices, processing, and
storage, transportation, retailing, and handling at market and
householdlevels.

Arusha
like in other Sub-Saharan cities, face challenges on how fruits and
vegetables are produced, transported, sorted, processed, and marketed.
Our food markets are characterized by malpractices and poor sanitation
brought about mainly by a lack of awareness and poor market
infrastructure necessary for food safety. This leads to the risk of our
fruits and vegetables to be contaminated with germs, chemicals and other
physical materials that render food unsafe for consumption.
For
that reason, Rikoltoin collaboration with the Arusha City Council is
addressing these challenges of food safety by constructing a small
section of the Kilombero market called the garden area with basic
infrastructure with the motive of increasing access to healthy,
sustainable and nutritious fruits and vegetable for Arusha citizens and
create an inclusive linkage with farmers and producers through the
participatory food safety system model. Additional activities to
reinforce this intervention include: awareness
campaigns on food
safety through media, capacity enhancementof food actors including
farmers, food transporters and market vendors
Purpose of the assignment:
To improve the market infrastructure of the Kilombero market Garden Area in collaboration with the Arusha City Council Engineer.
Expected Output:
Improved market section with a concrete floor, a corrugated shed and
smart stalls for selling fruits and vegetables. This structure should be
movable in case the Government rehabilitates the market structure in
the future
Ultimate Outcomes:
- An increased number of mainstream consumers having access to healthy, sustainable, and nutritious diets.
- Effective market linkages along the fruits and vegetable value chain through the PFSS model
- Enhanced product traceability from the point of origin to ensure food safety.
- Enhanced knowledge of food safety practices from farm to fork especially among the mainstream consumers
- An enabling environment at the market to ensure the supply of safe and quality products through the selected smart stalls.
