REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NOTICENutrition International (NI), a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating vitamin and mineral deficiencies worldwide, invites proposals from competent Consultant(s) or Agencies for conducting data collection for SNAP: School Nutrition for Adolescents Project (Bangladesh). About Nutrition International Nutrition International (NI), formerly the Micronutrient Initiative, is a global nutrition organization, headquartered in Ottawa, which aims to transform the lives of vulnerable people, especially women, adolescent girls and children, by improving their nutritional status and health as these groups often have the greatest unmet needs. Since 1992, NI has been building on a track record of success in vitamin A supplementation and salt iodization as well as in global advocacy, research and market shaping to address key micronutrient gaps, to include more direct support for the design and scale-up of nutrition programs at country level. NI continues to work in close partnership with governments, the private sector, international agencies, academia and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). For 25 years Nutrition International has remained committed to its core vision: a world where everyone, everywhere, is free from malnutrition and able to reach their full potential. In that time, we have expanded our scope as well as our role, and outlined a bold vision for the next twelve years to 2030. Our Goal 2030 is to transform the lives of 1 billion vulnerable people, especially women, adolescent girls and children, by improving their nutritional status. The potential to transform is closely linked to overcoming gender inequalities. NI believes that improving nutrition is critical to achieving gender equality, and that improving gender equality leads to improved nutrition. One of Nutrition International’s key strategic goals is to enhance the global impact of micronutrient interventions by generating cutting-edge knowledge and utilizing it to develop sound policies and programmes while consolidating political will to achieve its vision. NI aspires to position itself as a global center of excellence in generating scientific research in the field of micronutrient programmes. It provides quality assurance for research and programmes while disseminating and translating new knowledge to influence and improve national and global policies and programmes. NI provides guidance and support for existing and future programme evaluations and coordinates the analysis and utilization of evaluation activity results.
