Delivery of KMT Seed Sector Strategy, Kenya
Consulting Services
The Kenya Markets Trust (KMT) is funded by UK-AID, the Netherlands Embassy and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation.
The KMT mission is to make markets work better for the poor. KMT currently works in selected market sectors to boost overall competitiveness whilst strengthening the performance and position of poor people participating in markets whether as producers, employees or consumers.
The services required
include the development of a more efficient, innovative seeds sector to
improve productivity of smallholder farmers in different agricultural
subsectors.
This will include
development of a seeds policy and reform process; interconnected market
systems; greater private sector investment in production and marketing
of quality seeds; and the transformation of seeds retailing.
The contract will be for an initial one year, with the possibility of renewal.
KMT now invites consultants to indicate their interest in providing the services.

the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience
in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff,
etc.). Implementing organisations may associate to enhance their
qualifications.
KMT will prepare a short list of about five candidate organisations to be pre-selected on the basis of the expressions of interest received to whom KMT will send a Request for Proposals to perform the services.
