BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

Background

Oxfam, in partnership with Hope for a Child in Christ (HOCIC), is implementing women's economic empowerment initiative in Matobo District through market systems and value chain development approaches. Building on experiences from the WE-LEAP programme, the project seeks to better understand how women's engagement in agricultural and craft value chains contributes to economic empowerment and improved livelihoods.

To inform future programming and investment decisions, Oxfam is seeking a qualified consultant or consultancy firm to conduct a research study that will generate evidence on women's participation, benefits, constraints, and opportunities within selected value chains in Matobo District.

Scope of work

The consultant will undertake a mixed-methods study to:

• Map selected value chains and market systems within Matobo District.

• Assess women's participation and benefits across different value chain functions.

• Examine the contribution of value chain participation to women's income, savings, asset ownership, and decision-making power.

• Identify institutional, structural, market, and gender-related barriers affecting women's economic returns.

• Generate evidence-based recommendations to strengthen women's economic empowerment through market systems and value chain programming.
