Consultancy for a Study on on Business Models for Youth and Women in the Ziway-Shalla Basin

The overall objective of the consultancy is to conduct a study that provides high quality information and recommendations to further strengthen existing interventions and to develop ideas and concrete income generation models for new interventions that will be implemented in 2022/23. The study should identify, analyse and promote business models for youth and women that are compatible with the fragile wetland ecosystem of the Ziway-Shalla basin. The business models should link factors such as small land/no land access; water efficiency; agroecology; market and income generation, and as far as possible they should contribute to the preservation of the wetland ecosystem. Furthermore, key systemic constraints for women and youth to develop and operationalize their businesses are identified, and specific interventions defined. Details are provided in the Terms of Reference.
