• Description:
• Tenders are invited for Baseline Evaluation of Kenya Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development plus (Rapid+) Program. The Millennium Water Alliance (MWA) is a permanent global alliance of leading humanitarian and private organizations that convenes opportunities and partnerships, accelerates learning and effective models, and influences the WASH space by leveraging the expertise and reach of its members and partners to scale quality, sustained WASH services. Founded in the year 2002, MWA seeks to advance high standards for program quality, transparency and accountability and work with its members, governments, communities, private sector partners and other key stakeholders to bring to scale effective and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene education solutions. The Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development Plus (RAPID+) program is convened and led by the MWA with primary funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) alongside match and investment funds from private sector actors, implementing partners and participating county governments. RAPID+ builds on the successes and lessons learned from RAPID (implemented between 2015 and 2021) and seeks to not only continue the positive impacts of RAPID but to further build and improve upon them. RAPID+ combine the opportunities presented by the national and devolved water sector institutions, the rangelands resource management capacities, and the assets and experience of the private sector to address the complex problems created by inadequate water access and poor governance of rangeland resources. This five year program (2021-2026) has a geographic focus on five northern Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) counties of Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana and Wajir. The goal of RAPID+ is: Improved access to safe and sustainably managed water and rangelands in RAPID+ counties contribute to resilient livelihoods for communities in a peaceful environment. The goal will be achieved via two outcomes: (1) Pastoralist communities have increased access to sustainable and safe water for multiple uses benefiting men, women and youth, and (2) Pastoralist communities have improved access to safe and ecologically healthy rangeland resources that promotes greater integrity, social cohesion and gender equity. RAPID+ targets to provide first-time or improved access to water and rangeland services for more than 200,000 people in Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana, and Wajir counties. The facilitating partners of this program are CARE (Garissa), Catholic Relief Services (Isiolo and Turkana), Food for the Hungry (Marsabit), World Vision (Wajir).
