Requests for Proposals

The Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition (I-CAN) was launched under the COP27 Presidency of the Government of Egypt in 2022, with a mission to accelerate action on both nutrition and climate change as an integrated agenda. Its core partners include the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Scaling Up Nutrition Movement (SUN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as well as the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) (the issuer of this Request for Proposals).
I-CAN has since developed into a multi-stakeholder, multi-partner, multi-country initiative working across five key pillars: strengthening national policies and plans; building a strong alliance across countries; becoming the ‘go-to’ place for amplifying efforts; improving data on integrated action; and mobilising finance and the private sector. I-CAN combines global advocacy and evidence generation with deep national and subnational engage to ensure impact at all levels.
In the first half of 2026, I-CAN will:
1.    Finalise all the global and national deliverables committed under a current grant ending in June 2026
2.    Develop a new proposal for further funding beyond June 2026
3.    Update and formalise Terms of Reference and Standard Operating Procedures for the Initiative and its partners
The consultant selected for this work would lead on (2) while supporting on (1) and (3). This work will be conducted by an individual consultant contracted with GAIN and collaborating with the I-CAN partners. The selected consultant would form part of the I-CAN team for the duration of the contract, and would be eligible to apply for any role(s) created under new funding secured.
 

GAIN is seeking a qualified organization to:

• Independently verify audience reach at every roadshow, capturing three distinct exposure levels
• Provide real-time, credible, and independently verified data 
• Based on experience gained during implementation, develop and document a standardized, replicable crowd counting methodology that GAIN, partner organizations, or future implementers can apply independently in Uganda and similar contexts for future BTL activities
