TERMS OF REFERENCE (TORs): Consultancy Services to Undertake a Comprehensive Review/study to Understand the State (strength, barriers, growth, and risks) of Kenya's Climate Justice Movement Across Levels.

General Information

Work Description: Consultancy to undertake a comprehensive review/study to understand the state (strength, barriers, growth, and risks) of Kenya's climate justice movement across levels.

Project Title: African Activists for Climate Justice

Organisation: Natural Justice (Kenya)

Duration: 30 days (excluding weekends)

Introduction and Background

The African Activists for Climate Justice (AACJ) a five-year programme (2021- 2025) that aims to unify and amplify the voices in Africa; demanding that the most vulnerable groups - women, youth and local and indigenous communities - in the target countries and beyond have the capacity to defend and realise their human rights and live a decent and dignified life in a healthy and sustainable environment, within the context of the climate emergency.

The programme is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs within the Power of Voices programme and is implemented in eight African countries: Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Mozambique, Senegal, Somalia and South Africa. The AACJ consortium, led by the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), a coalition of over 1000 civil society organisations spread across 48 countries in the African continent working in the climate justice space. PACJA has been at the forefront of advancing climate justice in Africa for over 10 years, using evidence-based advocacy to shape and improve policies and laws on natural resource management, and supporting local communities to develop climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Other consortium members include:

  • Natural Justice (NJ), a team of pioneering lawyers and legal experts working with 24 partners in 10 countries in Africa. NJ uses legal empowerment, research, litigation and advocacy to stand with indigenous and local communities as they defend themselves and their ecosystems against environmental impacts caused by climate change and harmful extractive and infrastructure developments.
  • FEMNET, a pan-African feminist network that brings together 800 members in 43 countries in Africa. It is strategically positioned as a convener and dialogue facilitator, enabling women and girls to claim, affirm and use their collective power to end all forms of exclusion, oppression, exploitation and injustices against them. FEMNET pushes for the implementation of commitments made by African governments to advance gender equality and realisation of women’s rights.
  • Oxfam Novib, a world-wide development organisation that has over 65 years of advocacy and campaign experience. Working in alliance with local allies and people’s movements, it has advocated, and supported numerous actions and initiatives for climate accountability, funding for systemic climate solutions and support for communities least able to adapt. Oxfam Novib is part of the Oxfam Confederation which works in 35 countries on the African continent.
  • The African Youth Commission (AYC), an implementing partner playing a key role in bringing more young people on board to raise awareness on climate change and influence national governments to implement climate-related projects in a transparent manner that benefits young people. The network also sees a vital role for youth in Africa to contribute to the development of practical solutions and efforts to enhance the livelihoods of vulnerable communities. The AYC has 228 members in 46 countries on the African continent.

The AACJ Consortium believes that building strong and inclusive movements for climate justice in Africa - starting with the target countries - will be an engine for a powerful pan-African movement for climate justice. These programmes are supported by interventions aimed at influencing policies in the Netherlands and at the level of multinational institutions. 9 Programme Advisory Committees (PAC) are responsible for the implementation of these 10 programme components.

With regards to movements, the main aim of AACJ is to help build a broad-based African movement that is aligned thematically and geographically, which brings together existing movements and struggles. Such a movement will create spaces for and harness the momentum of groups including youth, women, local communities and the more recent types of ‘leaderless movements’ and will integrate multiple sections of society – to rally around critical issues regarding climate justice. AACJ leads climate action in Africa, empowering communities through impactful interventions like awareness campaigns, workshops, and engagement with decision-makers. The program has successfully raised awareness about the urgent need for climate justice by mobilizing diverse segments of society, including women and young people, AACJ fosters collective responsibility in addressing climate change impacts. With a focus on sustainability and scalability, AACJ's efforts establish a foundation for long-term resilience, adaptation, and mitigation strategies, ensuring a more just and sustainable future for Africa.

Natural Justice is a non-profit organization rooted in the struggles of communities in Africa. As a team of pioneering lawyers and legal experts, we specialize in human rights, environmental, climate, land, indigenous, and heritage law, in pursuit of social, climate, and environmental justice. We strive to enhance the collective rights of people and protect the sacred relationships that Indigenous people and local communities have with nature. Our work is informed by the values, knowledge, and self-determination of the communities which we stand in solidarity with. Through legal empowerment, research, policy influencing, and our Litigation Plus approach, we work in alliance with communities and like-minded coalitions to support communities to know the law, use the law, and shape the law.

Natural Justice’s focus includes enhancing community access to land and governance of natural resources, contributing to the struggle against harmful extractive and infrastructure development supporting processes for recognizing traditional knowledge and access and benefit sharing, supporting community rights within conservation and customary use of biodiversity, and strengthening community actions towards the climate crisis. Together with the communities we work with, we aim to play a key role at the national, regional, and international levels by influencing policy and laws to recognize and enhance the rights of Indigenous people and impacted communities and environmental defenders. We are headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa with regional hubs in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dakar, Senegal. Natural Justice also has additional staff in Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, and Somalia.

Climate justice movements are of paramount importance globally, and their significance in Kenya is particularly pronounced due to the country's vulnerability to climate change impacts and the need for equitable solutions. According to the Kenya National Climate Change Policy, these movements should focus on:

  • Addressing Vulnerability: Kenya is highly susceptible to the adverse effects of climate change, including droughts, floods, and changes in precipitation patterns. Climate justice movements play a crucial role in addressing the vulnerabilities of communities, especially those dependent on agriculture and natural resources.
  • Equitable Resource Distribution: Climate justice movements advocate for the fair distribution of resources and benefits, ensuring that vulnerable and marginalized communities have access to necessary resources to adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts. In Kenya, where resource disparities exist, these movements strive to address socio-economic inequities exacerbated by climate change.
  • Protecting Livelihoods: Many Kenyan communities, particularly those in rural areas, depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Climate justice movements work towards protecting these livelihoods by promoting sustainable agricultural practices, providing resilience-building strategies, and advocating for policies that support rural communities.
  • Preserving Biodiversity: Kenya is renowned for its rich biodiversity, but climate change poses a threat to various ecosystems and endangered species. Climate justice movements emphasize the preservation of biodiversity, recognizing its importance for ecosystems, local livelihoods, and future generations.
  • Mitigating Health Risks: Climate change contributes to the spread of diseases and poses health risks, affecting vulnerable populations in Kenya. Climate justice movements advocate for policies and interventions that address these health risks, ensuring access to healthcare and promoting adaptive strategies in the face of changing disease patterns.
  • Empowering Local Communities: Climate justice movements empower local communities to actively participate in decision-making processes related to climate change adaptation and mitigation. In Kenya, this empowerment is crucial for building resilience at the local level and ensuring that communities have a voice in shaping policies that directly impact them.
  • Promoting Sustainable Development: Climate justice movements advocate for sustainable development practices that balance economic growth with environmental conservation. In Kenya, where development pressures exist, these movements work towards ensuring that development initiatives consider the long-term impacts on the environment and communities.
  • Ensuring Intergenerational Equity: Climate justice emphasizes the principle of intergenerational equity, recognizing that current actions should not compromise the well-being of future generations. In Kenya, this perspective is essential for making informed decisions that consider the long-term sustainability of natural resources and ecosystems.
  • Global Responsibility: Kenya, as a developing nation, has contributed relatively minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions. Climate justice movements highlight the responsibility of developed nations to support developing countries in adapting to climate change impacts and transitioning to low-carbon economies.
  • Policy Advocacy and Legal Frameworks: Climate justice movements play a pivotal role in advocating for and shaping policies and legal frameworks that address climate change at the local, national, and international levels. In Kenya, this involves influencing legislation that supports climate adaptation, mitigation, and justice.

Climate justice movements in Kenya are crucial for advocating for equitable solutions, protecting vulnerable communities, preserving the environment, and ensuring a sustainable and just future in the face of climate change challenges. These movements contribute to shaping policies, building resilience, and fostering a sense of collective responsibility towards a climate-resilient and equitable society.

Overview of position

  • In 2020, Nigeria was declared WPV free for having gone without any WPV cases for over four years. However, Nigeria is experiencing outbreaks of cVDPV2 due to low Routine Immunization (RI) coverage & population immunity. In 2018, Nigeria experienced a major outbreak leading to about 34 cases. The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) in collaboration with partners has ensured the overall planning, implementation & monitoring of the polio eradication program in 19 northern states & a few southern states where the spread was recorded. As of 2018, the number of cases reduced to 18, but about 4.3 million children are still unimmunized (18%, MICS / NICS 2021).
  • RI performance in Nigeria has remained sub optimal for over 10 years, according to the National Demographic Health Surveys (NDHS) of 2003,2008, 2013 & 2018, communication & social mobilization are critical components in RI & Supplementary Immunization (SI) campaigns for polio vaccination & other vaccines. The Volunteer Community Mobilizers (VCM) network is one of the strongest community structures that support 12 high risk states in northern Nigeria, working closely with stakeholders, caregivers & communities to promote vaccination. These volunteers organize community dialogues & compound meetings, track newborns & children under five years for polio vaccination & refer pregnant women to health facilities for antenatal care. The network is supervised by a network of Facilitators at the LGA & state levels.
  • The engagement of State & LGA Facilitators across these states has ensured no wild polio case has been reported for the past 3 years, after the last polio case was reported in August 2016 from Borno state. Enhanced awareness of the community about the polio campaign remained at 94%.
  • Strengthened monitoring of the program & routine monitoring of the program is jointly done by all polio partners. Support rapid survey implementation to generate additional data, national level review, planning & capacity building events for VCM network members & a data quality assurance mechanism in place.
  • The LGA Facilitators will be located at the state & LGA with frequent trips to wards & settlements to provide that essential link between the community structures in the assigned LGA of implementation, serving to coordinate & supervise polio / RI activities at the LGA level. S / he will supervise the day to day implementation of polio / RI activities across our client supported implementation sites. S / he will also supervise the daily operations of the VCM network, with a specific focus on ensuring quality implementation & data reporting. The LGA Facilitator will also play a prominent role in reporting on the changing humanitarian situation (Borno / Yobe states) within their LGAs & will enable our client & partners to adapt in a timely & appropriate response to the changing situation. In the context of increasing insecurity with limited travel to implementation sites by our client's staff, LGA Facilitators’ presence in the field provides a much needed means for program monitoring to ensure the maintenance of the quality of implementation according to national & international protocols as well as an independent layer of accountability.
  • The State Facilitator will be located in the state with frequent trips to the LGA, wards & settlements, providing general oversight of the VCM structures in the assigned cluster of LGAs. Coordinate & supervise polio / RI activities at the cluster level. S / he will supervise the day to day polio / RI activities implementation across our client supported implementation sites. S / he will also supervise the daily operations of the LGAF & VCM network, specifically focusing on ensuring quality implementation & data reporting. The State Facilitator will also play a prominent role in reporting on the changing humanitarian situation (Borno / Yobe states) within their LGAs & will enable our client & its partners to adapt promptly & appropriately to the changing situation. In the context of increasing insecurity with limited travel to implementation sites by our clients staff, State Facilitators’ presence in the field provides a much needed means for program monitoring to ensure the maintenance of the quality of implementation according to national & international protocols as well as an independent layer of accountability.
