The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) invites competent and interested companies to indicate interest by submitting request for proposal documents to tender for the following works:

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with both governments and businesses, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people.

At GAIN, we believe that everyone in the world should have access to nutritious and safe food. We work to understand and deliver specific solutions to the daily challenge of food insecurity faced by poor people. By understanding that there is no “one-size-fits-all” model, we develop alliances and build tailored programmes, using a variety of flexible models and approaches. We build alliances between governments, local and global businesses, and civil society to deliver sustainable improvements at scale.

Applications are invited for:

Title: Request for Proposal for the Review of Continuous Quality Improvement Methods for Public-Private Partnership Programs

Preamble

Traditionally GAIN’s nutrition programs roll out in stages: formative research, design development and testing, implementation roll out, evaluation. While a strong proponent of this approach and committed to evaluation, GAIN has learnt that there are several constraints to this model, in particular in the context of public-private partnerships where timeframes for learning and improvement are shorter. Often the cost and time commitment from business for the design and implementation of programs must be kept to a minimum or the engagement of business may waiver. Yet GAIN acknowledges that without continuous adaptability, the potential for impact of any program is minimized

Scope of Work

GAIN is seeking to commission independent consultant(s) for a duration of approximately 15 days to conduct this review. The review will assess a wide range of quality measurement approaches and their application in various programmatic and organizational contexts, with a particular focus on the recommendations for their application on public-private sector programme partnerships like those in which GAIN is engaged.

It is anticipated that the scope of work would include:

A literature review of a wide range of quality measurement approaches.
A critical review of their relative advantages and disadvantages.
A recommendation for their application in programs dependent on public private partnerships.
Development of paper for open-source publication in an journal.

Eligibility Requirements

Proposals will be accepted from experienced individuals that meet the following requirements:

Background and previous history in undertaking similar assignments.
Expertise in theoretical and applied continuous quality improvement approaches.
Strong history of peer review publications in the content area.

Application Closing Date

15th October, 2021.
