Deadline: 05-Jan-2026
The World Food Programme (WFP) invites organizations to conduct follow-up surveys for the 2026 Cash for Prevention Nutrition Program in Chad. The surveys aim to strengthen evidence-based decision-making by monitoring household food security and nutritional outcomes across multiple regions, including Kanem, Barh-El-Gazel, Batha, Guera, and Lac.
Overview of the Opportunity
The WFP has launched a Call for Expression of Interest (EOI) for organizations interested in conducting follow-up surveys for the Cash for Prevention Nutrition Program in 2026. This initiative is part of WFP’s commitment to evidence-based decision-making through robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in key intervention areas across Chad. The surveys will provide crucial insights into household conditions, helping the program improve food security and nutritional outcomes across targeted regions.
Target Regions for Surveys
The surveys will cover multiple regions where the program operates:
-
Kanem
-
Barh-El-Gazel
-
Batha
-
Guera
-
Lac
These locations are strategically chosen to capture the full spectrum of household conditions, accounting for regional and seasonal variations in food access and nutrition.
Purpose of the Surveys
A central component of the Cash for Prevention Nutrition Program’s monitoring and evaluation framework is the implementation of household surveys twice a year:
-
Lean Season – to assess food scarcity and consumption patterns during periods of high vulnerability.
-
Post-Harvest Period – to evaluate changes in household food security and nutritional status after harvests.
The surveys aim to provide accurate, seasonally-adjusted data on household coping strategies, food consumption, and nutritional outcomes. Findings will directly inform programmatic decisions and resource allocation.
Who is Eligible?
This call is targeted at organizations with:
-
Expertise in monitoring and evaluation (M&E), research, and data analysis.
-
Experience in training and capacity development related to survey implementation.
-
Specialization in food security analysis, including vulnerability assessments and mapping.
-
Strong analytical capacity and demonstrated experience in household survey execution.
Eligible organizations should have the ability to deliver high-quality, actionable insights to support WFP’s program objectives.
Key Responsibilities and Expected Outputs
Organizations selected for this assignment will be expected to:
-
Design and implement household surveys aligned with the program’s M&E framework.
-
Collect and analyze data to assess program impact on food security and nutrition.
-
Produce a comprehensive report including:
-
Detailed results and analyses
-
Actionable recommendations
-
Executive summary synthesizing key findings for strategic and programmatic use
These outputs will support WFP in determining whether food assistance interventions are achieving their intended impact in the target regions.
-
Why This Matters
Conducting these surveys is crucial to ensure that WFP interventions are effective, equitable, and evidence-based. By capturing seasonal and regional variations in household food security, organizations contribute to better-informed program planning, targeted interventions, and ultimately improved nutritional outcomes for vulnerable populations.
