1.1. Request for Proposals – Service Notice
1.1.1. Nutrition International (NI) is a global nutrition organization, dedicated to delivering proven nutrition interventions to those who need them most. Founded in 1992, NI envisions a world free from hidden hunger and has been working in Pakistan since 2000, implementing low-cost- high impact, large-scale nutrition programs. NI has collaborated with the Government of Pakistan to improve maternal and newborn care, enhance infant and young child nutrition practices, and pioneer adolescent nutrition interventions. One such initiative was the pilot Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFAS) project for in-school adolescent girls in one tehsil of District Lodhran, Punjab in 2019-2021. Building on this success, NI expanded its adolescent health and nutrition program in April 2022 to cover two additional tehsils in Lodhran, one tehsil in District Swabi (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), and District Pishin (Baluchistan).
1.2. Background
1.2.1 Adolescence is a transformative period that lays the foundation for physical, cognitive, and social development, impacting future generations. In Pakistan, adolescents comprise 23% of the population, with girls making up 48% of this group[1]. Despite their potential, adolescent girls face numerous challenges, particularly in nutrition. According to the National Nutrition Survey 2018, 54.7% of adolescent girls in Pakistan are anaemic[2], posing a critical public health concern. Anaemia, primarily caused by iron deficiency, leads to lethargy, poor concentration, and diminished academic performance, hindering the nation’s human capital development.
1.2.1. Alongside a high prevalence of anaemia, low dietary diversity further exacerbates undernourishment among adolescents. Girls often remain marginalized due to their low social status, limited opportunities, and socio-economic constraints, making them a neglected target group for health and nutrition interventions.
1.2.2. 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.
