TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE END OF PROJECT EVALUATION

PROJECT: INVESTING IN NEW VENTURES OF ENTREPRENEURIAL STUDENTS IN TANZANIA (INVEST)

LOCATION: MOROGORO

DATE: NOVEMBER 2020 TO JANUARY 2021

1. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

Lutheran World Relief (LWR) is a U.S.-based 501(c)3 organization founded in 1945 with a mission to end poverty, injustice, and human suffering. LWR is helping some of the world’s poorest communities transform from survival to sustainability, focusing on humanitarian assistance; laying the foundation for resilience; sustainable adaptation to climate change; and value-chain based long-term development.

LWR has worked in Tanzania since 1961, partnering with the Ministry of Agriculture and other local public and private stakeholders to strengthen long-term food security. In Tanzania, LWR specializes in building the local capacity of farmers’ organizations to provide sustainable, equitable, and value-add services to their members. Through these organizations, LWR trains farmers in improved crop husbandry and post-harvest handling and marketing techniques. LWR also helps link the organizations and their members to financial institutions and other extension service providers. To date, LWR has supported Tanzanian farmers organizations producing and selling value chain horticultural crops (grapes, tomatoes, onions, ginger), cereals (maize, rice, sorghum), vegetables, oilseeds (sesame, sunflower), coffee, beans, and potatoes.

LWR implemented Investing in New Ventures of Entrepreneurial Students in Tanzania (INVEST) project over a three-year period from October 2017 to September 2020. The project is designed to address the challenge of the agricultural training education system in Tanzania which is disconnected from labor market demands and the challenge of the incompetence of graduates on self-employment. The disconnect has led to agricultural practitioners lacking necessary competence in the labor market and self-employment. The overall goal of the project is to strengthen the long-term employment prospects of youth (male and female) in the Ministry of Agriculture Training Institutes (MATIs) so they are equipped for employment upon graduation. This objective will be achieved through the following two outcomes:

 

Outcome 1: Targeted MATIs produce skilled agricultural labor force that meets market needs

  • Output 1.1: Targeted MATIs design a curriculum that meets the demands of the agriculture workforce
  • Output 1.2: Targeted MATIs implement a revised curriculum that meets the demands for employment in the agriculture labor force
  • Output 1.3: Targeted Youth have increased access to internship opportunities that demonstrate skills and training

 

Outcome 2: Targeted youth are equipped for self-employment upon graduation

  • Output 2.1: Targeted youth gain expertise in business development and planning
  • Output 2.2: Selected youth receive start-up capital to implement business ideas
