Plan International’s global strategy, 100 Million Reasons (2017-22) defines Plan International as a progressive international NGO committed to addressing fundamental changes in the countries in which we work, and globally, that advance children’s rights and gender equality. The strategy takes its name from our ambition to take action so that together we can work with 100 million girls to learn, lead, decide and thrive.

This will commence in Plan International’s offices in Tanzania and Zambia in 2020.

TAM Project has been facilitating women SMEs to form and register groups at LGA level in order to access funding from the LGAs in Mbeya, Songwe, Rukwa and Katavi regions. During implementation of the women access to finance interventions, through the revolving fund, several governance problems were raised by stakeholders.

1.0. Introduction
SNV, Netherlands Development Organization is an international, not-for-profit, development organization, working in over 25 developing countries worldwide, including 17 countries in Sub Saharan Africa. SNV focuses on achieving impact in Agriculture, Energy, and Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. By sharing her specialist expertise in Agriculture, Energy, and Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, SNV’s global team of local and international advisors works with local partners to equip communities, businesses and organisations with the tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own development.
SNV is implementing many projects within the agriculture sector including Transforming Agricultural Markets (TAM). TAM is the project which started in August 2018 and is funded by UKAID under the Accountability (Act II) programme. The project works in dairy and sunflower market systems. The project’s focus in the dairy market system is on harmonization and rationalization of dairy regulations, and governance of dairy cooperative societies; and in the sunflower market system is on women access to finance at local government authorities (LGAs), and governance of contract farming arrangements (CFA).
The TAM project aims to improve livelihoods and economic opportunity for smallholder farmers (SHFs) and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) by empowering these key players to affect changes in market systems through engaging with government and other private sector actors. The TAM’s Theory of Change evolves at making the existing policies work at the local level by increasing stakeholders understanding of policy issues so that they take collective actions which result into increased responsiveness from the government leading to improved livelihoods of SHFs & SMEs in the dairy and sunflower market systems in terms of increased incomes and jobs creation.
As a result of working in this manner to address agricultural market development systemic issues, the project aims to achieve the following impact and outcomes:
Impact: Improved livelihoods of SHFs & SMEs in the dairy and sunflower market systems.
Outcomes:
1) Increased Responsiveness of government to the issues of SHFs and SMEs.
2) Increased collective actions of the stakeholders for the improvement of access to basic services, entitlements and business environment.
To achieve its intended impact and outcomes the project has already identified boundary and strategic partners in these market systems and are engaged in carrying out interventions which intend to address actor-led issues in a responsive and accountable manner; and enhance delivery of basic services and strengthen the business environment. Boundary partners are those actors whom the project interacts directly, build their capacity in order to effect change and engages in mutual learning and strategic partners are organisations selected because of their potential to contribute to the objectives and whom the project works directly with to achieve the objectives, without necessarily wanting to change their behaviours. For this project, the boundary and strategic partners include SHF organisations, women SME groups, LGAs and national government institutions. These partners are involved in addressing issues in 4 key result areas highlighted above.
The project has been running for over a year now since its inception in August 2018, and throughout this time the boundary and strategic partners have been supported to collaborate with each other in order to address governance constraints which limit the delivery of services and conducive business environment in the two market systems.
2.0 Background to the Assignment
Women SMEs in sunflower oil processing and women in sunflower businesses in general face governance related challenges in accessing women loans from local government authorities’ Women Fund. These governance constraints exist even though the fund is governed by a law and guidelines which mandates the LGAs to issue interest free loan to women groups who follows the procedures and meet the required conditions for the women fund. The governance issues lead to inefficient and ineffective revolving fund policy implementation for most LGAs in the Mbeya, Songwe, Rukwa and Katavi regions. One approach used by TAM project, to address the governance issues and increase women access to finance, is to use media to increase the availability of information on the fund, build the voice of women and advocate for women access to loans from the LGAs in order to expand their sunflower processing and businesses. So far, the project media interventions have demonstrated that, media is effective in building the voice of the women and could lead to behavioural changes resulting into more women, in the project area, accessing loans from LGAs. It has also been realised that use of the Media for Development (M4D) approach which aims for behavioural changes of key actors towards addressing the governance issues in women access to finance is a more effective approach.
The approach is participatory and empowering in nature because it closely involves the primary (women) and secondary (LGAs) target groups to think through the governance constraints, identify barriers and motivators, develop the communication objectives and agree on the effective media format to influence policy implementation. It is against this backdrop that SNV seeks the service of an individual consultant who is knowledgeable and experienced in M4D to support the TAM project and key stakeholders in effective use of media for development approach to increase women access to finance from LGAs in Mbeya, Songwe, Rukwa and Katavi regions where the assignment will be implemented.
