Republic of Kenya

Office of the Prime Minister


Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands (MDNKOAL)


Request for Expression of Interest


Consultancy on Medium Term Investment Plan (MTIP)


The Kenya Vision 2030 acknowledges the special circumstances of previously marginalised communities and in its first Medium Term Plan 2008-2012 places a premium on reducing poverty and inequality and re-balancing regional development.

In 2009 the Ministry, in collaboration with other stakeholders, produced the Vision 2030 Strategy for Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands which outlines the potential contribution of the region to the achievement of the Vision. It also produced a Draft Sessional Paper on the National Policy on Sustainable Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands.

Having produced these Policies, the next step is to prepare a Medium Term Investment Plan (MTIP) to provide a clear roadmap for implementation of these documents and the realization of the Ministry's vision.

The Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands is desirous of engaging a consultant or firm of consultants to support preparation of the Vision 2030 Medium Term Investment Plan for this Ministry.

The consultancy is expected to meet the following overarching objectives:-
  • To formulate the five (5)-year Medium Term Investment Plan (MTIP) for Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands.
  • To ensure that the MTIP is acceptable to the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), development partners and other stakeholders.
The MTIP Steering Committee at the MDNKAOL now invites eligible consultants / consulting firms to indicate their interest in providing these services.

Interested consultants shall provide information indicating their qualifications, capabilities and details of past experience, especially in areas of their expertise (brochures, descriptions of similar assignments, experience in similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of skills among staff etc.) which will enable the Ministry to shortlist suitable consultants or firm of consultants.

The Consultant or the firm of consultants will be selected in accordance with the procedures set out by the Government of Kenya.
