IDH is looking for a Consultant to execute the development of our work on living income in the Kenyan tea industry.
Living Income is central to the tea program’s strategy for East Africa. In 2024, IDH completed a study in cooperation with the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) and some of its buyers on the potential for closing living income gaps for tea farmers.
As a follow-up, a project is being designed in co-creation with KTDA, with an envisioned kick-off date of Q3 2024. This pilot project (2024-2025) aims to explore impactful / meaningful ways to increase resilience and increase incomes for tea farmer households. Specific interventions under the project are currently being designed and will most likely focus on:
- Developing an evidence-based business cases aimed at increasing incomes for smallholder tea farmers and their households;
- Enhancing value chain development of agribusiness ventures other than tea;
- Establishing evidence for the potential of increasing farmer incomes through tea procurement practices
