Individual Consultant - Developing key messages for awareness raising - RBF4R PROJECT

About Practical Action

We are an international development organisation putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world. We help people find solutions to some of the world-s toughest problems—challenges made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality. We work with communities to develop ingenious, lasting, locally-owned solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience, and clean energy. And we share what works with others, so answers that start small can grow big.

We-re a global change-making group. The group comprises a UK-registered charity with community projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America, an independent development publishing company and a technical consulting service. We combine these specialisms to multiply our impact and help shape a world that works better for everyone.

Aims

We work alongside people to ensure they can make a living and live well in the face of climate change, their changing environment, and persistent gender inequality. Our aims are to:

Make agriculture work better for smallholder farmers, many of them women, so they can adapt to climate change and achieve a good standard of living.
Help more people harness the transformational effects of clean, affordable energy and reduce avoidable deaths caused by smoke from indoor stoves and fires.
Make cities in poorer countries cleaner, healthier places to live and work.
Build disaster resilience into the lives of people threatened by climate hazards - reducing the risk of hazards and minimising their impact on lives and livelihoods.
Framework

We work to change systems. To achieve this, we have a framework to:

Analyse the root causes of poverty and vulnerability.
Define the change at a scale we need to make.
Demonstrate that our solutions are sustainable in the real world.
Learn by capturing evidence and adapting our approach.
Inspire wider support to multiply our impact.
About the Results-based Financing for Refugees (RBF4R) Project

The Results-based Financing for Refugees (RBF4R) project is a GIZ, EnDev funded project for 2 years that aims to increase the inclusivity of the market for higher-tier cooking stoves in refugee camps in Rwanda as well as fostering livelihood opportunities for female refugees through productive use of energy. The project was designed in consideration of the Renewable Energy for Refugees (RE4R) II project, highlighting the need for a complimentary approach to ensure synergies and effective implementation of a market-based approach, that leaves no one behind.

Building on the existing RE4R II market-based approaches and with a strong focus on leaving no one behind, the RBF4Rproject addresses the challenge of affordability for vulnerable refugees through providing results-based financing (RBF) to RE4R II supported stove supplier companies to incentivize a further price reduction for these households. Complementing this approach, the project also aims to increase economic activities and improve livelihood opportunities by empowering women with the capacity to run small-scale businesses and increasing their access to electricity for productive use of energy (PUE), through connections to off-grid electricity and access to customized PUE appliance

Stove sellers and community mobiliser in the camps will jointly work to reach to most vulnerable refugee households in the five camps across Rwanda through a market-based approach. High quality communications material outlining amongst others the approach and the benefits of improved cookstoves and fuels will be crucial elements to support stove sellers and community mobilisers in their endeavour.

1. About the role

Practical Action Rwanda seeks to contract a consultant responsible for developing communication materials in support of the RBF4R project, in particular to assist the stove sellers and community mobilisers working in the camp. The delivery of high quality communication products and material is crucial in ensuring Practical Action-s RBF4R project to reach impact among the most vulnerable refugee households among five camps in Rwanda and to support them in improving their energy access through a market-based approach.
