    Type:                                   Consultant
    Classification:                     Consultancy
    Overview:
    The Nutrition Achievements within Resilient Institution (NAWIRI) program was awarded to Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and its partner agencies, including International Business & Technical Consultants, Inc. (IBTCI). The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) NAWIRI project is a multisector package of services to support local institutions to sustainably reduce persistent acute malnutrition among vulnerable subpopulations of Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu and Turkana Counties in Kenya. CRS leads the NAWIRI consortium implementing in Isiolo & Marsabit Counties, while Mercy Corps leads a second and independent NAWIRI consortium implementing in Turkana and Samburu (Note that both consortiums share the USAID program name “NAWIRI”). The project is designed to have a robust research phase for the first two years (Years 1-2) that will inform subsequent implementation and scale-up in years 3-5. The program is funded by the USAID Office of Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) Development Food Security Activity (DFSA). Translating NAWIRI as Prosperous, Thriving and Flourishing, program will honor its name by delivering a multispectral package of services to support local institutions to sustainably reduce persistent acute malnutrition among vulnerable subpopulations of Isiolo and Marsabit Counties.
    To move from the pilot to the scale up phase, NAWIRI will go through a process requiring revising the initial Theory of Change (TOC) guiding project activities. This revision will require doing a desk review of updated research findings on proximal and distal factors that contribute to the sustainable reduction of acute and severe malnutrition in arid and semi-arid lands. It will also require considering the research which guided the definition of six pilot activities that have been designed and are under implementation or will start implementation in the near future. These pilots are testing interventions that would be scaled up during NAWIRI’s Phase II.
    IBTCI seeks a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Consultant to help the NAWIRI M&E team in Nairobi, Kenya to: 1) revise NAWIRI’s Theory of Change, and 2) set up and implement a data quality assessment (DQA) approach that can be used to ensure the monitoring and evaluation data collected by NAWIRI partners follows USAID’s data quality standards (e.g., validity, integrity, precision, reliability and timeliness). The period of performance is six (6) months with up to 35 days of level of effort.

    Expend that approach to conduct DQAs for other data collection activities implemented by NAWIRI consortium partners, including IBTCI
    Train NAWIRI consortium partners in the implementation of the DQA approach
    Review DQAs conducted and propose corrective actions, if any
    Provide ongoing support to future DQA activities at the beginning of the implementation of Phase 2 of the NAWIRI project.
    Other duties as assigned.

    Serve in the above consultant capacity to support the IBTCI technical practices of Crisis, Conflict & Governance, Agriculture & Food Security & Economic, Education & Growth and Global Health and/or Business Development divisions.
