1.Background
Farm
Radio International (FRI) is implementing an initiative known as
‘Scaling and Sustaining Delivery of Climate Information Services’ (CWIP
II) in Tanzania under the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS)
with support from the World Food Program (WFP) in Tanzania. This
initiative is based on the successful implementation of the previous
initiative in 2019 known as the Climate and Weather Information Service
Project (CWIP).
The CWIP II project has two major objectives, which are:
- To
provide effective and valued gender equal and listener-responsive,
downscaled climate & weather information services through
interactive radio and mobile services to smallholder farmers and
pastoralists in the three (3) districts of Kondoa, Kiteto and Longido. - To
explore and develop a “scaling up & sustainability” strategy to
grow and sustain climate & weather information services through the
‘Beep4Weather’ mobile platform at national level.
In order
to achieve the first objective, FRI is working closely with the
Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA), three radio stations, and
district and local extension workers in the three districts to produce
and air climate and weather information radio series for 20 weeks linked
to the Beep4Weather platform.
The Beep4Weather platform is an
advisory service developed by FRI that provides local weather forecasts
paired with practical farming advice developed by local agricultural
extension workers. This paired information is broadcast on a radio
station that farmers trust, at a reliable day and time each week. It is
also available “on demand” to farmers with access to cellphones. Farmers
who miss the broadcast or who want to hear the weather forecasts and
agricultural advice again, can call a number advertised on the radio
station. They hang up before the call is answered (so that the call
itself will not cost them anything). The service then calls them back
with a recording of the meteorological and agricultural information
package.
Under the second objective, FRI intends to develop a
‘scaling up & sustainable’ strategy to grow and sustain climate
& weather information services through the “Beep4weather” platform
at national level. FRI will engage private sector players and Mobile
Network Operators (MNOs) to develop synergistic Beep4Weather services as
part of mobile bundled services. Opportunities will be explored with
MNOs to adapt and modify configurations of the existing Beep4Weather
platform in readiness for scale at national level.
In order to
do this, FRI would like to invite expressions of interest from
individuals and/or consulting firms to develop a scaling up &
sustainability business strategy. In the process, FRI expects the
consultant to conduct a series of consultations, checking diverse
sources of content for weather information, and exploration of different
business models including seeking synergies with other already existing
platforms. This study will inform the basis of engagement with various
stakeholders including Mobile Network Operators and other private sector
players. It will also inform how FRI can take the Beep4Weather services
to scale in a sustainable manner.The assignment
2.The assignment
The
study will be conducted mainly through a desk review and virtual
consultation meetings and key informant interviews with stakeholders in
Tanzania. The following are the key objectives of the study:
- To
explore pathways for scaling up the Beep4Weather platform at national
level including seeking synergies with other already existing platforms - To propose a low cost inclusive business model for mobile powered weather informations services in Tanzania
- To recommend strategies for sustaining mobile powered weather information services in Tanzania at national level

3.Timeline
The
study will be conducted in ten (10) working days from 4-15 October. The
consultant will share the findings and prepare a final report by
Wednesday 20 October 2021.
4. Proposed considerations in the study
The research will be done remotely through mobile, email, or virtual meetings and desk research.
The
scope of the study will be limited to Tanzania as such knowledge of the
local stakeholders is mandatory for smooth undertaking of this
assignment.
All the data and results generated through the
evaluation are the exclusive properties of FRI. The consultant is
expected to sign a separate agreement in acceptance of the intellectual
property as well as data ownership of FRI.
