GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR IMPROVED NUTRITION (GAIN)
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICES TO DELIVER A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER HUMAN CENTRED DESIGN (HCD) SESSIONS ON NUTRITION SENSITIVE SOCIAL PROTECTION POLICY FOR THE ENHANCING ACCESS TO SAFE AND NUTRITIOUS DIET (ENSAND) PROJECT
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with both governments and businesses, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people. At GAIN, we believe that everyone in the world should have access to nutritious and safe food. We work to understand and deliver specific solutions to the daily challenge of food insecurity faced by poor people.
Through our Social Protection programme, GAIN seeks to explore and elevate the potential for human-centred design (HCD) approaches to enhance the nutrition impact of social protection systems. Access constraints faced by the most vulnerable beneficiaries and misalignment of offerings with nutritional and dietary needs limit the extent to which social protection can result in nutrition impact. Together with partners, GAIN is developing a set of resources (or “toolkit”) for applying HCD to nutrition-sensitive social protection systems, including guidance for contextualising the toolkit to varying policy environments, sociocultural contexts, and nutrition aims.
The purpose of this RFP is to engage services of two consultants (individual or company), one in Ethiopia and one in Nigeria to:
Test and give feedback on initial tools and methods.
Customise the set of resource (or “toolkit”) using the provided guidelines.
Use the resource to deliver a multi-stakeholder human-centred design session(s) on nutrition-sensitive social protection policy. о In Nigeria, the exercise will focus on the National Home-Grown School Feeding Program (NHGSFP)
The consultants will work with GAIN and partners to pilot and adapt the generic resources to the country and case-study context based on the guidelines provided to deliver an HCD workshop yielding user feedback on social protection systems and on the workshop process itself.
