Recruitment of Individual Consultant
- Case Writer: 6 Weeks Assignment; 30 Consultancy Days.
In October 2013, BCtA brought
together a small group of key local stakeholders to initiate the discussion on
the role of inclusive business and barriers to successful inclusive businesses
connected to the health sector in Kenya.
In order to ensure a more targeted
discussion, the issue of access to ORS and Zinc for the treatment of pediatric
diarrhea was addressed, providing an example of supply chains of health
products.
The Business Call to Action believes
that inclusive businesses (social businesses) can play an important role in
reaching low income populations with health knowledge, services and products.
In order for these businesses to be
successful and achieve scale of social impact, an enabling ecosystem must exist
which requires the support of local government agencies, multilaterals, NGOs,
and the private sector.
During the discussion, it was clear
that this group of stakeholders had successfully navigated how to create and
sustain this type of enabling ecosystem.
Several themes and key success
factors were discussed, and it was agreed that it could be very helpful for
other projects if the successes of this initiative could be clearly documented
in the form of a case study.
The case study should be focused on
how the public private partnership was conceived, designed, and implemented
with descriptions of the incentives necessary for each party.
Objective: Produce
(identify, analyse, and write up) a case study and an accompanying power point
presentation based on the meeting notes and further interviews (7 to 10) with
key stakeholders.
