ABOUT WFP
The United Nations World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes. Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.
BACKGROUND
The Climate Smart Agriculture Programme (CSAP) is an Irish-Aid funded programme, which takes a food systems approach to promote gender equality and women's empowerment, climate action, nutrition-sensitive agriculture and livelihoods enhancement amongst sorghum farmers within six districts of Dodoma region. These districts are Mpwapwa, Kongwa, Bahi, Kondoa, Chamwino and Chemba. The CSAP was launched in 2018 and to date has reached over 21,000 farmers (43% of whom are women).
Adopting a food systems approach that creates viable livelihoods, supports human health and nutrition, and protects natural resources, is a growing priority for both the CSAP funder, Irish Aid, and the lead implementer, WFP. Challenges in the food system in Tanzania are among the root causes of food and nutrition insecurity and inequality in the country. A food systems approach is thus gaining increasing traction as a way to achieve a balance between healthy families, healthy communities and sustainable livelihoods, particularly following the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit.
Irish Aid and WFP view the CSAP as an important exemplar of how a food systems approach can be meaningfully applied in the Tanzanian context. Following 4 years of programme implementation, this is an important juncture to systematically document the evidence, lessons and impact of the CSAP, in order to inform the future design, implementation and scale-up of the programme. WFP is therefore seeking an independent consultant to conduct a review of the CSAP that is both retrospective, to capture key lessons and evidence of what works, but also forward looking, to inform the future direction of the programme, as well as broader policy processes.
STANDARD MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Advanced University Degree in one or more of the following disciplines: Agriculture, rural Economics, public health, environmental studies, food systems, development studies or related area.
