Deadline: 1 June 2017
The UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) is currently seeking applications for Independent Evaluation of the Supporting Nutrition in Pakistan (SNIP).
This independent impact evaluation will focus specifically and only on the food fortification component of the SNIP programme. DFID is primarily interested to learn whether the programme has achieved the intended impacts in improving the nutritional status of women of childbearing age and children and assess the long-term sustainability of the programme beyond the implementation of the programme.
The evaluation will generate information about the overall impact of the programme at the midpoint and end of the five year implementation period, and up to four years after the programme has closed to determine sustainability.
Programme Objectives
The objectives of the evaluation are to:
- Assess whether the programme has achieved its outcome of improved access to and consumption of nutritious food amongst women of childbearing age and children under five
- Assess the causal effects (impacts) of the food fortification programme on the nutritional status of women of childbearing age and children under five, particularly the poor.
- Test specific programme assumptions to understand why and how programme interventions do/do not produce intended and unintended outcomes and impacts. E.g. are foods adequately fortified, supply, availability and accessibility of food, acceptability of food to households, eating practices etc.
- Make an assessment of the long-term sustainability of the programme, particularly sustainability of the mass fortification process, effects on markets and the chakki industry.
How to Apply
Interested applicants must apply using DFID supplier portal.
