As FSDT is nearing the end of its current strategy (2022-2026), we are seeking a consultant to facilitate the development of the new FSDT strategy for the period of July 2026 to June 2030. This consultant is not expected to write the actual strategy paper, but rather provide a strategy formulation framework, facilitate and document the process, provide specific research inputs towards the delivery of the actual strategy document and serve as a reviewer of the final strategy developed.
Scope of Work:
Broadly, the consultant is requested to perform the following tasks:
Stakeholder Mapping and Landscape Analysis:
Donor mapping, including a review of their strategies and priorities (including previous and current donors, other philanthropic organizations, as well as traditional and nontraditional or emerging donors and in particularly those with a focus on climate action).
Review of stakeholder strategies, CSR and ESG plans (in reference to the private sector/financial sector as well as their respective foundations).
Review of key country and regional documents (i.e. TDV 2050, LTDP, FYDP, FSDMP, NFIF, AU Agenda 2063, EAC Strategy, Tanzania NDCs and other climate action commitments etc.).
Review of MSD programs (across the continent, both in the financial sector and in the real sector) to distil best practices and approaches that can maximize program impact.
Reflection on previous FSDT evaluations, to filter key lessons in terms of what worked and what did not work and establish FSDT fore-runners list for scaling and systemic impact.
Strategy Formulation Process:
Applying the MSD approach to facilitate the strategy development process.
Facilitate interactive scenario building and strategy formulation sessions, leveraging on evidence and bringing an action driven, human-centered, systems thinking approach to life.
Document Deliberations:
Summarize and document all deliberations and initial landscaping done including documents reviewed.
From the review of various ways that the MSD approach has been used, propose delivery mechanism options, with a focus on lessons from real sectors.
All deliberations documented will feed into the strategy write-up which will be done by the FSDT team.
