Consultancy Opportunity: Developing a Youth Investment Readiness Guide for Green Enterprises in Tanzania

Vi Agroforestry is seeking a qualified consultant or consulting firm to undertake a rapid scoping and mapping exercise on youth opportunities in green investment and to develop a practical Youth Investment Readiness Guide for agroforestry and green enterprises in Tanzania.

About the Assignment

Across Tanzania, young people face increasing opportunities within the green economy, yet many continue to encounter barriers such as limited access to finance, land, business development services, markets, and investment networks. To help bridge these gaps, Vi Agroforestry is commissioning a consultancy that will identify viable green investment opportunities and translate the findings into a practical guide that supports youth in establishing and growing profitable, resilient enterprises.

The assignment will focus on the Lake, Central, Coastal, and Southern zones of Tanzania, where Vi Agroforestry has ongoing interventions.

Objectives

The consultancy aims to:

• Conduct a rapid scoping and mapping exercise on youth engagement in agroforestry and green economy value chains.
• Identify high-potential investment opportunities for youth-led enterprises.
• Analyze the enabling environment, including financing mechanisms, business support services, and policy frameworks.
• Develop a user-friendly Youth Investment Readiness Guide that provides practical tools, investment pathways, and resources for young entrepreneurs and ecosystem actors.

Scope of Work

The assignment will be implemented in two phases:

Phase I: Rapid Scoping and Mapping Exercise (15 Working Days)

The consultant will assess youth participation in agroforestry and green economy sectors, identify priority value chains, map key actors and support systems, and analyze barriers to enterprise development.

The study will explore opportunities in areas such as:

• Tree nurseries and planting materials
• Fruit and horticulture production
• Beekeeping and apiculture
• Bamboo and woodlot enterprises
• Agro-processing and value addition
• Organic fertilizers and compost production
• Climate and carbon-related services
• Digital agriculture services
• Eco-tourism and nature-based enterprises

Phase II: Development of a Youth Investment Readiness Guide (20 Working Days)

Building on the findings from Phase I, the consultant will develop a practical guide featuring:

• Green economy and agroforestry investment pathways
• Viable youth enterprise models
• Investment readiness requirements and stages
• Financing and investor engagement guidance
• Zonal investment opportunities and ecosystem mapping
• Practical business planning and financial management tools

Methodology

The assignment will use an applied mixed-methods approach involving:

• Desk review of relevant documents and programmes
• Key informant interviews
• Review of youth enterprise case studies
• Stakeholder consultations
• Validation workshop
• Co-creation session for guide development

The focus is on generating practical, decision-oriented insights rather than conducting an extensive research study.

Who Should Apply?

Vi Agroforestry invites applications from consultants or firms with:

• An advanced degree in Economics, Agriculture, Forestry, Business, Finance, Development Studies, or a related field
• At least 3–5 years of relevant professional experience
• Expertise in green economy development, youth employment, SME development, or private sector development
• Experience in developing practical toolkits, investment guides, or policy instruments
• Strong analytical, writing, research, and facilitation skills

Duration

Total Duration: 35 working days

• Phase I: 15 working days
• Phase II: 20 working days
