About Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi:
Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi! is a Kenyan grassroots social movement organization founded in 2009 and registered/incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee in 2012. It envisions a peaceful, united and well-governed Kenya with equal economic and social opportunity for all citizens. The organization exists to empower Kenyan citizens to improve their lives and demand good governance as a means to achieve socio-economic growth and equality of opportunity among all Kenyans. It aims to curate a social movement (the Ni Sisi! Movement) that will seek to unite Kenyans to forge a collective identity, drive transformation in leadership and improve maisha — wellbeing — for all Kenyans. To this end, Inuka supports community groups/organizations and collaborates with initiatives at the local, national and regional level to build capacity and linkages for effective collective action. Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi!’s philosophy is underpinned by the concept of “dignity before development” — each individual’s inherent dignity must be upheld at all levels of interaction.
Inuka Kenya has developed three strategic objectives which, together, will form the basis upon which citizens at the local level will found their efforts to take charge of their citizenship and governance processes. As such, the three objectives are the key pillars that will support the creation of a Ni Sisi! social movement. These three objectives are:
- Restructure the Public Sphere: To create and curate narratives that seek to restructure the Kenyan public sphere using knowledge platforms, technology products and engaging civic actors and institutions within a framework of Utu.
- Enhance Individual Agency, Dignity and Livelihoods: To harness a collective positive and resilient identity in order to build, protect, restore and ensure human dignity for all.
- Transition to a National Social Movement: To transition from a Civil Society Organization, through partnerships, collaboration and membership development, to a national social movement of active citizens who hold governments to account.

- Highlight strengths and areas of improvement for consideration by Inuka Management

The process will be led by an independent consultancy firm or individual consultant(s) skilled in the field of Human Resources. The consultant will be guided by the Inuka management team.
Methodology
The consultant(s) will carry out a desktop evaluative review of Inuka’s current Manual, their effectiveness and efficiency in terms of organizational performance, and the current trends in the NGO sector. Where relevant, the consultant may interview partner organizations.

- Effectiveness: The extent to which the current manual facilitates Inuka to achieve its timelines for requests.

Inuka is implementing a wellness programme, The Wellness Resilience Resource Hub comprises places, processes and spaces for individuals and collective civic actors (Civic Catalysts – Whether currently active or in retirement and their immediate families.

The Wellness Resilience Resource Hub is being facilitated by Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi Ltd, Uganda National NGO Forum and the Legal and Human Rights Centre in Tanzania.
Why the Wellness Hub?
The civic actors in the Region (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) have been instrumental in bringing about robust citizen activism, sadly they continue to endure trauma resilience from their activism even decades later. The range of resources, opportunities and spaces available to them to meet their needs has also changed considerably. In the past, civic catalysts have come under all manner of attacks, putting their physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health at risk to the point of endangering their very lives. Some have endured detention, imprisonment and even been forced into exile.
