Introduction
Busara Center for Behavioral Economics (Busara) welcomes submissions for Expressions of Interest to consultants who have experience in Business Development and Grant Writing, for purposes of pre-qualification for the provision of their consulting services.
About Busara
Busara is a leading behavioral science organization in the Global South, where we apply behavioral science to help alleviate poverty through advisory work and original academic research. Busara applies rigorous research methods and evaluation tools to enable partners to improve program design, assess existing interventions, and optimize internal processes. We work with governments, NGOs, private companies and academics to understand human behavior, and design solutions to overcome behavioral barriers to products, programs, and policies as they scale.
Busara operates from its permanent offices in Kenya, Nigeria, India, Uganda, and Tanzania, and has worked on projects with partners internationally. We have launched a new strategy to expand our work globally, signed new projects across Africa, South Asia and South America all in pursuit of our twin missions of advancing behavioral science and alleviating poverty as we strive to bridge the gap between research and application. We have worked on projects related to agriculture, financial inclusion, savings, inequality, entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and other questions central to development economics.

The Consultant will support the FaRM team in expanding its portfolio, building strategic partnerships, and securing funding opportunities. The consultant will work closely with the Associate Director of the FaRM team and other stakeholders to strengthen Busara’s engagement.
