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 find 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:
- Transformative Leadership and Governance Pillar: Strategic Objective 1: To create and curate narratives that seek to transform leadership and governance to be in accord with Utu.
- Individual Agency, Dignity and Livelihoods Pillar: Strategic Objective II: To harness a collective positive and resilient identity in order to build, protect, restore and ensure human dignity for all.
- Movement Building Pillar: Strategic Objective III: To build a social movement of active citizens who take charge of governance at all levels.
About the Project
Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi! Ltd is implementing the Wellness Hub Program—an initiative designed to provide civic actors with safe and supportive spaces to heal, reflect, learn, and grow. Recognising the increasing threats and pressures faced by civic actors, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual strain, Inuka aims to establish a dedicated wellness facility. To support this, the organisation seeks to engage a qualified consultant or consultancy firm to assess the viability of identified land parcels for this purpose.
Objectives of the Assignment
The overall objective is to conduct a baseline assessment and due diligence on three proposed land parcels in Narok (10 acres at Esupetei), Nanyuki- Mutirithia (10 acres on Naibor-Endana Rd) and Ndauni (20 acres on Kitui/Kibwezi Rd, next to Ndauni shopping centre) to determine their suitability for establishing a wellness facility. The specific objectives are to:
- Conduct due diligence checks on the legal, environmental, and physical attributes of each parcel of land.
- Assess suitability based on:
- a) Alignment with Inuka’s core wellness mandate for civic catalysts.
- b) Long-term sustainability, including viable business and operational models. c) Cost-effectiveness in acquisition, development and usability considering a limited budget.
- Develop a comprehensive facility development proposal that includes concept design, phased implementation, and sustainability planning.
Deliverables/Expected Outputs
The consultant will work closely with Inuka staff to refine the proposed scope of work prior to commencement of the assignment. The key deliverables aligned with the objectives of the due diligence on the viability of land for a wellness facility are as follows:
