This includes the following points:

1. Review the latest national strategy for fisheries and the most recent government census on fisheries to align the study with national priorities and data.
2. Employ mixed methods for data collection, including stakeholder interviews, surveys, and field observations across the Sofala Bank Region.

This opportunity is with WorldFish and will be on a short-term contract/deliverable basis. We are looking for a dynamic, innovative, self-motivated, and service-oriented professional or firm to fill this role.

The assignment encompasses the following objectives:

• Assess the influence and outcomes of hatchery-based production protocol of SIS on the nutrition of relevant stakeholders involved in the project.

• Assess the potential, adoption and scale of various business propositions aimed at commercializing the hatchery-based production protocols for the selected SIS species including policy implications.

Scope of Work

WorldFish is implementing a project named "Taking Nutrition-Sensitive Carp-SIS Polyculture Technology to Scale" in Odisha and Assam states of India (2021-2024). The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). One of its central objectives is to develop easily scalable methodologies for the mass seed production of some important SIS through the standardization of a hatchery-based breeding approach.

Significant progress has already been achieved within the project, with the successful development of technical protocols governing mass seed production, nursery rearing, and the transportation of selected SIS. Notably, the primary focus of the project is to identify and implement viable business models for the multiplication and distribution of SIS seeds.

The current consultancy assignment involves a comprehensive evaluation of the impact and outcomes of the mass seed production technology on the income of project stakeholders covering the SIS hatchery operators, SIS growers and SIS sellers. Rapid assessment of and nutritional well-being attributable to Carp-SIS Polyculture among SIS consumers will also be undertaken. It aims to gain insights into the dynamic market conditions and the potential demand for selected SIS over the short to medium term period.

Findings from this assignment will also assist and inform other studies under the project that will delve into assessing the scalability of various business plans designed to commercialize and expand SIS seed production technology, with a keen eye on its policy implications.

The study will involve activities like review of literature/ documents, consultation meetings with WorldFish team, relevant partners, stakeholders and beneficiaries. It may require quantitative data collection and analysis.
