1.IntroductionSNV is implementing the HortiFresh programme in a consortium with Resilience B.V., Advance Consulting, SENSE and Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation (WCDI) lead implementer. The programme is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ghana. The programme aims to reach 15,000 farmers and have a 20% increase in productivity by 2021. Ghana and Ivory Coast demonstrate a strong growth potential and opportunities for private investments in the vegetable and fruit value chain. The two countries have had steady economic growth with a burgeoning middle class demanding quality and healthy food. The ability of the domestic and regional horticulture sector to meet this increasing demand, substitute and connect to export markets requires enhanced agronomic and marketing skills, access to finance facilities, quality produce, increased entrepreneurship, and investment opportunities. To this end, the HortiFresh programme seeks to establish a competitive and professional horticulture market that contributes to inclusive economic growth and has the capacity to continuously innovate in terms of products and services in Ghana and Ivory Coast. The programme’s objectives include improving productivity in the fruit and vegetable sector; facilitating more efficient markets, linking producers and other value chain operators with the Dutch private sector, improving the business climate and further professionalizing the value chain for fruit & vegetable production and consumption in West Africa. The programme includes a capacity strengthening component which is aimed at improving knowledge and practices of stakeholders in the sector. The programme is structured to build the capacity of stakeholders through agronomy trainings, technical assistance and knowledge sharing through independent research and development on issues relevant to the sector. As part of its objectives, HortiFresh aims to improve the professionalism of farmer-based association in its fruit and vegetable clusters. A key challenge is the lack of professional management as well as financial management due to limited management capacity. To address this, HortiFresh aims to start an Organizational Development Training and Association Strengthen that supports farmer-based organizations reach their next stage of development. The training is expected to provide them with sessions focused on financial management, leadership, group dynamics, gender & youth mainstreaming and good administration. To this end, HortiFresh seeks to engage an experienced Organizational Development company to execute the training in cooperation with the HortiFresh team. 2.Objectives and Scope of Assignment – Fruits SectorThe activities of the Scope of Assignment shall include, but are not limited to:
