GUM AND INCENSE VALUE CHAIN CONSULTANT
IC BACKGROUND INFORMATION
UNHCR Sub Office Melkadida (SOMEL) is collaborating with the Agency for Refugees and Returnees Affairs (ARRA), the Somali Regional Government, the Dollo Ado and Bokolmanyo Woreda Authorities, and NGO implementing partners to enhance the self-reliance of refugees and host communities by supporting livelihoods and economic inclusion interventions. The self-reliance programme is supported by the IKEA Foundation and focusses on three key sectors: Agriculture, Livestock, and Financial Services (Microfinance). Refugee and host communities in the Dollo Ado and Bokolmanyo Woredas of the Somali Regional State predominantly rely on agriculture and livestock production for their livelihood. These two Woredas are regularly subjected to the risk of droughts and floods, impacting the food security and livelihoods of these populations. Refugees live in five camps namely; Buramino, Hilaweyn, Kobe, Melkadida, and Bokolmanyo.
The Somali Regional State harbours significant number of gum Arabic and incense trees that have historically contributed to people’s livelihood. In 2018, UNHCR organized five gum & incense cooperatives made up of refugee and host community members in the five camps of Buramino, Hilaweyn, Kobe, Melkadida, and Bokolmanyo. The intention was to put in place the basic business structures to boost gum & incense production and trade in the area. In 2019 and beyond, the strategy is to invest in the conservation of existing forests that harbour gum & incense trees and boost live fencing in the camps through seedling plantation. From a livelihood development standpoint, the priority is to boost the capacity of the gum & incense cooperatives so that supply, production, and marketing of gum & incense is done efficiently. A critical activity in the implementation of this strategy is to obtain credible market insights into the gum & incense sector. The incumbent is expected to carry out a ‘value chain assessment’ to provide up-to-date information on the market dynamics, actors, challenges and opportunities.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Analyse the supply chains of Gum Arabic and incense products (i.e., the type of products, prices, transportation links, market points, delivery times, names of suppliers, etc).
Map out market size, actors, supply and trade routes of Gum Arabic and incense.
Identify the market gaps and constraints in the Gum Arabic and incense value chains by focusing on the supply chains, production, and marketing aspects.

Provide recommendations for value addition and investment in the gum Arabic and incense sector;
Draft and present the final report which would include pictures, findings, analyses, as well as recommendations on the potential of Gum Arabic and incense for creating employment and incomes for refugee and host communities.
The output of this assignment is a 30 - 40 page document which would include pictures, findings, analyses, and recommendations. The selection of the consultant will be determined on the basis of the strength of technical methodologies and proposals of how he/she will undertake the above activities and on the below minimum requirements.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
UNHCR Sub Office Melkadida (SOMEL) is collaborating with the Agency for Refugees and Returnees Affairs (ARRA), the Somali Regional Government, the Dollo Ado and Bokolmanyo Woreda Authorities, and NGO implementing partners to enhance the self-reliance of refugees and host communities by supporting livelihoods and economic inclusion interventions.

Refugee and host communities in the Dollo Ado and Bokolmanyo Woredas of the Somali Regional State predominantly rely on agriculture and livestock production for their livelihood. These two Woredas are regularly subjected to the risk of droughts and floods, impacting the food security and livelihoods of these populations. Refugees live in five camps namely; Buramino, Hilaweyn, Kobe, Melkadida, and Bokolmanyo.
Since 2012, UNHCR has invested substantial resources to develop large scale irrigation infrastructure (pump houses and canals) on nearly 1,000 ha of land; to establish and to strengthen the capacities of eight farmer cooperatives; and to ensure that the allocated irrigable land is under crop production. For the period 2019-2021, UNHCR’s strategy is to focus on ensuring sustainability of its existing investments by; conducting value chain analysis of priority crops in the region, improving productivity per unit area of different crops through Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), optimising the use of existing irrigation infrastructure (as well as maintenance), exploring low cost irrigation technologies and how these can be adapted, post-harvest handling of crops (to reduce losses) and linking production to viable markets.
The purpose of this assignment is to conduct two interlinked value chain analyses on behalf of UNHCR. The first value chain analysis will focus on most profitable priority crops for agriculture production in the developed irrigation schemes. The second value chain analysis will focus on the agro-processing sub sector where crops with the highest potential for agro-processing can be analysed and promoted. As there is already anecdotal evidence that sesame oil processing has market in the area, the agro-processing value chain assessment will focus on this product as a priority.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Consultant will work under the supervision of SOMELs Livelihoods Officer and will be responsible for the following deliverables;
Organize focus group discussions with farmers, NGOs, and retail shops in Dollo Ado and Bokolmanyo refugee camps to identify a set of crops with highest market value for agriculture production. Consider consumer preference, market demand, and plantation feasibility in determining the list of subsistence and cash crops.
Undertake a value chain analysis for priority crops and commodities to identify gaps and opportunities for investments;
Project the potential harvest volumes from priority crops planted on 1,000 ha of land under irrigation so that the information on supply volumes by season can be shared with prospective buyers;
Organize focus group discussions with farmers, NGOs, and retail shops to identify a set of crops with highest market value for agro-processing in the area. Consider consumer preference, market demand, and supply volumes to determine the list crops suitable for agro-processing.
Undertake a value chain analysis for products suitable for agro-processing, including sesame oil, in order to identify gaps and opportunities for investments;
Provide recommendations for value addition and investment in the agro-processing sub sector;
With support of the SOMEL Livelihoods Officer, organize a workshop to present the findings of the value chain analysis and validate them with stakeholders;
Finalize and submit to SOMEL value chain reports by crop/commodity type.
The output of this assignment is a 30 - 40 page document which would include pictures, findings, analyses, and recommendations. The selection of the consultant will be determined on the basis of the strength of technical methodologies and proposals of how he/she will undertake the above activities and on the below minimum requirements.

Since 2012, UNHCR has invested substantial resources to develop large scale irrigation infrastructure (pump houses and canals) on nearly 1,000 ha of land; to establish and to strengthen the capacities of eight farmer cooperatives; and to ensure that the allocated irrigable land is under crop production. For the period 2019-2021, UNHCR’s strategy is to focus on ensuring sustainability of its existing investments by; conducting value chain analysis of priority crops in the region, improving productivity per unit area of different crops through Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), optimising the use of existing irrigation infrastructure (as well as maintenance), exploring low cost irrigation technologies and how these can be adapted, post-harvest handling of crops (to reduce losses) and linking production to viable markets.
The purpose of this assignment is to conduct two interlinked value chain analyses on behalf of UNHCR. The first value chain analysis will focus on most profitable priority crops for agriculture production in the developed irrigation schemes. The second value chain analysis will focus on the agro-processing sub sector where crops with the highest potential for agro-processing can be analysed and promoted. As there is already anecdotal evidence that sesame oil processing has market in the area, the agro-processing value chain assessment will focus on this product as a priority.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Consultant will work under the supervision of SOMELs Livelihoods Officer and will be responsible for the following deliverables;
Organize focus group discussions with farmers, NGOs, and retail shops in Dollo Ado and Bokolmanyo refugee camps to identify a set of crops with highest market value for agriculture production. Consider consumer preference, market demand, and plantation feasibility in determining the list of subsistence and cash crops.
Undertake a value chain analysis for priority crops and commodities to identify gaps and opportunities for investments;
Project the potential harvest volumes from priority crops planted on 1,000 ha of land under irrigation so that the information on supply volumes by season can be shared with prospective buyers;
