Description
Terms of reference for research, scoping and baseline study consultancy to inform country approach
Deadline: 18-Jun-26 @ 12:00pm (EAT)
FSD Africa, is implementing the Accelerating Financial Resilience and Insurance for Young African Women in Agrifood Systems (AFIYA) Programme. AFIYA is structured around three intervention areas: (i) developing and scaling affordable, gender-intentional insurance solutions through partnerships with insurtechs, insurers and reinsurers; (ii) driving adoption by addressing demand-side barriers and creating incentives, including financial literacy, bundled credit and community engagement; and (iii) contributing to an enabling environment for scale through policy advocacy, regulatory innovation, and improved climate risk and gender-disaggregated data infrastructure.
The overall objective of this assignment is to generate the evidence base required to successfully launch AFIYA in Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal and to establish a robust pre-intervention baseline against AFIYA’s results framework. The consultant will produce country-specific scoping reports, in-depth user research findings on young women SHFs and agri-preneurs, validated stakeholder engagement outputs and baseline study findings that together inform AFIYA’s country-entry strategies, value chain selection, partner selection, product priorities, and monitoring and evaluation system.

Nigeria
Nigeria’s development trajectory increasingly emphasises large-scale infrastructure investment to support economic diversification and reduce dependence on oil revenues. Expansion of rail networks, highways, power generation and digital connectivity seeks to improve productivity across Africa’s largest economy. Reforms targeting electricity markets, public-private partnerships and regulatory transparency aim to attract private capital and enhance project efficiency. However, implementation gaps, fiscal pressures and governance challenges continue to influence the pace and quality of infrastructure delivery.
