DFID 8018 Independent evaluation of the Supporting Nutrition in Pakistan Food Fortification Programme Contract Award

Tender description

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 period. While the benefits of fortifying foods are well proven, it is not known whether a population health benefit can be achieved, with an emphasis on women and children, where a large scale supply side intervention to fortify commonly consumed food goods occurs. The evaluation will generate information about the overall progress and any impact of the programme at the mid point, and impact at the end of the implementation period. The evaluation suppliers will also conduct an assessment up to four years after the programme has closed to determine sustainability.
