Role Overview

SFTZ is seeking a qualified consultant to design a participatory enterprise and microfinance curriculum tailored to Maasai youth and women involved in restoration-linked seed and forage enterprises. The curriculum will help participants build practical business skills, strengthen their financial literacy, and reinforce sustainable rangeland management practices.

Scope of Work

The consultant will develop a practical, field-ready curriculum that enables participants to:

Understand the value chain from native seed production → forage → livestock productivity → market linkages
Develop basic business plans and financial management skills
Participate in savings groups and internal lending models, including VSLA-style approaches
Conduct pricing, profit calculation, and simple financial record-keeping
Plan for risks and enterprise diversification
Enhance youth leadership, accountability, and group governance

The curriculum should be highly participatory and visual, suitable for rural, low-literacy contexts. Materials will be developed primarily in Swahili, with integration of Maa terminology and cultural context where appropriate. Training will be delivered in person in Northern Tanzania as needed.

Expected Deliverables

Structured training curriculum with detailed session plans and facilitator guide
Participant-friendly training materials adapted for low-literacy audiences
Practical exercises, case studies, and group activities
Simple templates for budgeting, savings tracking, and profit calculation
Suggested monitoring indicators for enterprise growth
