Deadline: 17-Feb-2022
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) has launched a call for proposals for Scaling up Fortification of Edible Oil, Milk and Wheat Flour in select geographies in India.
With the current efforts, many industries (Pan India and SMEs) are voluntarily fortifying their edible oil, milk and wheat flour variants, and supplying through open market and safety net programs. Now it is critical to ensure that these industries sustain fortification efforts on their own and remain compliant to national standards. They are seeking proposals from relevant and experienced agencies/ organization to support this vision.
Objectives
The key objectives are:
- Undertaking Policy Advocacy with key Government Ministries at the national level and the related Departments at the State level to mainstream fortified edible oil and fortified wheat flour in safety net programs
- Undertaking quality assessment of fortified staples (edible oil, milk and wheat flour) from production site as well as open market and assessing their compliance to national standards.
- Building capacity of targeted edible oil industries (refineries and re-packers) and milk dairies on the process of fortification.
- Engaging with safety net programs, centralized kitchens and e- commerce platforms to ensure the availability of fortified wheat flour by building the capacity of roller flour mills and/or commercial chakkis
- Creating a sustainable pool of resource persons for training edible oil industries
Note
- Trainings can be conducted in both collective and individual format as per the need.
- The project activities will involve extensive travel to the states where GAIN-supported staple food fortification is underway, in order to visit the state governments, industry partners and organise stakeholder meetings etc
Criteria
The proposal needs to be formatted as three separate documents in clear and concise manner:
- Technical proposal outlining the research objectives, methods, detailed workplan along with timelines.
- Financial proposal outlining the budget details.
- Presentation summarizing the work to be undertaken to meet the project objectives (preferably not more than 12 slides)
