1.1. Request for Proposals – Service Notice
1.1.1. Nutrition International (NI), a non-profit agency dedicated to eliminating vitamin and mineral deficiencies worldwide, invites proposals from competent consultants for Gender Evidence Synthesis and Development of Male Engagement Guide under IGNIT3 – Pakistan.
1.2. Background
1.2.1. Nutrition International (NI) supports governments to plan, design and execute implementation research and use findings to support informed decision making around the routinization and sustainability of maternal supplementation in their context.
1.2.2. In Pakistan, the Increase Gains in Nutrition by Integration Education Evaluation and Empowerment (IGNIT3) project, funded by Global Affairs Canada, builds on the Advancing Maternal Health through MMS Implementation Research (AMMI) project implemented in District Swabi. The AMMI research demonstrated the feasibility of integrating Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) into routine antenatal care (ANC) services and generated important evidence on service delivery, adherence, and system readiness. IGNIT3 leverages these findings to support the institutionalization and scale up of MMS through government led ANC platforms, with a particular focus on reaching pregnant adolescents and improving the quality and utilization of ANC nutrition services.
1.2.3. Despite these advances, evidence from AMMI and subsequent IGNIT3 assessments indicates that household gender dynamics continue to play a critical role in shaping maternal health behaviors, including ANC utilization and adherence to supplementation. The influence of husbands, mothers-in-law, and other family members often determines whether women can access services and follow recommended practices. To address this gap, there is a need to systematically synthesize existing evidence and translate it into practical guidance to strengthen engagement of men and other key household influencers. This consultancy will support the development of such evidence based guidance to enhance family support for maternal nutrition and health within routine ANC services.
1.2.4. This Request for Proposals (RFP) and particularly the Guidelines for Preparing Proposals that follow, are designed to help Respondents to produce proposals that are acceptable to the NI, and to ensure that all proposals are given equal consideration. It is essential, therefore, that Respondents provide the complete information that is requested, and in the formats and on the terms specified.
