GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR IMPROVED NUTRITION (GAIN)
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE PROVISION OF INTERNET SERVICES
ABOUT GAIN
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. By understanding that there is no “one-size-fits-all” model, we develop alliances and build tailored
programmes, using a variety of flexible models and approaches. We build alliances between governments, local and global businesses, and civil society to deliver sustainable improvements at scale.
We are part of a global network of partners working together to create sustainable solutions to malnutrition. Through alliances, we provide technical, financial, and policy support to key participants in the food system. We use specific learning, evidence of impact, and results of projects and programmes
to shape and influence the actions of others. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, GAIN has representative offices in Denmark, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In addition, we have country offices in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tanzania. Programmes and projects are carried out in a variety of other countries, particularly in Africa and Asia.
Background
In a non-governmental organization (NGO) like GAIN, reliable and secure internet connectivity is crucial for the smooth execution of daily operations, communication, and program implementation. The need for an efficient Internet Service Provider (ISP) stems from the organization’s reliance on digital platforms for coordinating activities, managing remote teams, ensuring timely communication with stakeholders, and accessing vital information resources. Additionally, as GAIN often operate in diverse and sometimes challenging environments, a dependable ISP ensures uninterrupted service delivery, enabling the organization to meet its mission and objectives effectively. Engaging a capable ISP is therefore essential to support the organization’s technological infrastructure, enhance productivity, and maintain seamless connectivity across all GAIN operations.
Purpose
The purpose of this RFP is to identify and select an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that can provide highspeed, reliable Internet services to The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). The selected ISP will be responsible for ensuring optimal internet connectivity, with minimal downtime and prompt customer
support.
