The main deliverable under this RFP is a fully operational, interactive, user-centred online platform, application, dashboard, or alternative tool. The platform's design should aim to simplify the data preparation and cleaning process as much as possible. For instance, this may include (but is not limited to) eliminating the need for manual unit conversions, automating the matching of retail food items to their corresponding nutritional profiles, and enforcing data consistency rules (e.g., ensuring unique Item Codes correspond to unique Item Names).

The service provider will design and implement the assessment, with input from GAIN’s Knowledge
Leadership team and the programme manager. Specifically, the provider should:

  • Review the programme design and existing documentation (theories of change, logic models and
    results frameworks, assumptions, annual reports and other relevant documents).
  • Design a proposed approach to assessing the contribution of the programme, with a primary focus
    on workstream 1 (policy support) and minor focuses on other linked workstreams to be agreed
    with GAIN, for GAIN review and feedback
  • Once the approach is agreed with GAIN, develop a detailed methodology and data collection tools,
    as needed.
  • Collate, review, and analyse internal data provided by GAIN.
  • Undertake any additional data collection, quality assurance, cleaning, and analysis.
  • Undertake clear reporting of results.
  • If needed, obtain ethical approval for the research using an appropriate Institutional Review Board.
  • Regularly update GAIN on the progress of the work and involve GAIN in any key decisions about its scope and approach
  • Draft a full report on the results of the assessment, for GAIN review and feedback.
  • Prepare a presentation on the results of the assessment and present to a group of GAIN stakeholders, for feedback
  • Respond to all GAIN feedback in a revised report and final version of presentation.
  • For any data collected, provide GAIN with clean, well-documented datasets, verbatim interviews transcripts, or documents.
