CFAs: Follow-up and Annual Surveys related to Food Assistance Operations for Resilience in Chad

Deadline: 05-Jan-2026

The World Food Programme (WFP) invites organizations to conduct follow-up and annual surveys linked to resilience-focused food assistance operations in Chad. Surveys will track food security and resilience indicators across multiple provinces, informing program improvements, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making.

Overview of the Opportunity

The World Food Programme (WFP) has launched a Call for Expression of Interest (EOI) for organizations to conduct follow-up and annual surveys in support of resilience-focused food assistance programs in Chad. This initiative aims to generate robust evidence to monitor, assess, and enhance the impact of WFP interventions across diverse communities and geographic contexts.

Objectives and Purpose

The EOI is designed to:

  • Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of resilience-focused food assistance interventions.

  • Track household and community-level well-being in the face of shocks and stressors.

  • Assess the quality and accountability of assistance delivery, including gender equality and protection considerations.

  • Compare survey results with previous data to analyze trends and improve program strategies.

Geographic Scope and Target Areas

The surveys will cover key provinces where resilience projects are implemented, including:

  • Kanem

  • Salamat

  • Barh-El-Gazel

  • Batha

  • Lac

  • Borkou

  • Ennedi-Est

  • Sila

  • Ouaddaï

  • Guera
    In 2025, WFP’s resilience program expanded to approximately 198 intervention sites across these regions, necessitating comprehensive post-distribution monitoring in 2026.

Survey Schedule

WFP plans to conduct surveys in two phases:

  • Phase 1: July 2026

  • Phase 2: December 2026
    These surveys will capture seasonal variations, household coping mechanisms, and program impact, ensuring alignment with donor reporting and accountability requirements.

Key Survey Focus Areas

The surveys will emphasize:

  • Food security indicators – assessing availability, access, and utilization of food.

  • Resilience indicators – measuring households’ ability to maintain, recover, or improve well-being under stress.

  • Assistance quality – verifying adherence to WFP standards of transparency, accountability, gender equality, and protection.

  • Trend analysis – comparing current and historical data to evaluate program outcomes over time.

Who is Eligible?

The call is particularly suited for organizations with expertise in:

  • Monitoring and evaluation (M&E)

  • Research and data analysis

  • Training and capacity development

  • Food security, market, or vulnerability analysis
    Eligible organizations must demonstrate the capacity to implement large-scale surveys across multiple regions and diverse community contexts.

Expected Deliverables

Selected organizations are expected to provide:

  • Comprehensive reports presenting survey results, analyses, and actionable recommendations.

  • Executive summaries synthesizing key findings to guide programmatic and strategic decision-making.

  • Data and insights suitable for informing future resilience strategies and operational improvements.

Why It Matters

These surveys are critical to ensuring that WFP’s resilience-focused food assistance interventions:

  • Achieve intended outcomes for vulnerable households.

  • Maintain high standards of accountability and transparency.

  • Inform evidence-based decision-making for program improvement and scaling.
    By capturing meaningful data at household and community levels, WFP can continuously refine interventions to support long-term resilience in Chad.
