GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR IMPROVED NUTRITION (GAIN)
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR AWARENESS CREATION FOR IMPROVED CONSUMPTION OF VEGETABLE IN FARMERS AND THEIR NEIGHBOURS HOUSEHOLD FOR THE ENHANCING ACCESS TO SAFE AND NUTRITIOUS DIET (ENSAND 2.0) 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. 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.
The ENSAND 2.0 programme is designed to enhance the daily consumption of vegetables, thereby addressing the rising challenge of child malnutrition in Kebbi State. The targeted vegetables are locally produced and available year-round, with irrigation support required during the dry season. Through this initiative, the project will improve access to the most consumed vegetables within the community. These vegetables are rich in essential micronutrients that complement local diets and play a vital role in supporting the growth, development, and overall wellbeing of children and women of reproductive age (WRA). The project’s desire is supporting farmers and their neighbor’s ability to consume at least an additional 25g of vegetable per household member daily.
