Introduction

The KCIC is a social impact organization dedicated to supporting micro and small enterprises driven by innovation in the climate space. KCIC is implementing the GreenBiz program, which is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danida). The GreenBiz program focuses on climate technologies and innovative business models in five sectors: Water, Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RE & EE), Agriculture, Commercial Forestry, and Waste Management. The program aims to support 300 businesses, creating over 3,000 job opportunities, directly and indirectly contributing to the achievement of SDGs. The program seeks to increase the commercialization and scale-up of climate smart innovations, creating decent jobs, increasing access to low carbon energy sources, and enhancing community and household resilience to climate change. The GreenBiz program offers a range of services including business advisory, mentorship, access to finance and technical assistance.

One of the key components of the GreenBiz program is the mentorship initiative, which is designed to enhance the growth and development of our clients in the climate sector. This mentorship program, spanning 10 months and involving 50 clients, complements the existing business advisory and technical support provided by KCIC staff. The program aims to empower business owners and managers, foster business growth, strengthen market connections, and elevate technical skills, financial performance, and overall economic outcomes.

KCIC is seeking qualified consultants to support in a 3-day mentorship bootcamp in Nairobi. This bootcamp will cover various topics relevant to the growth and success of the mentees. The 50 mentees have been in the mentorship program for the last 10 months and the program will be closing by 31st October 2024. The proposed bootcamp will be second to one that was conducted in 2023 for the current cohort 3 mentees. This will be the last one as the mentees exit the program.

KCIC is also seeking for qualified  consultants  to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment and identify key spokes that will support in the implementation of the proposed design of DREEM HUB and Spoke Model Project In Kenya
