Landscape Analysis/Nutrition Situation Assessment for 235 Priority Municipalities for the Philippine Multisectoral Nutrition Project

UNICEF Philippine Country Office is inviting you to submit a proposal for LRPS-2023-9186341: Landscape Analysis/Nutrition Situation Assessment for 235 Priority Municipalities for the Philippine Multisectoral Nutrition Project.

Please be mindful of the submission timelines provided above.

Summarized Terms of Reference:

The purpose of this assignment is conducting a Landscape Analysis/Nutrition Situation Analysis in the 235 target municipalities that will support planning and subsequent PMNP implementation of activities such as capacity building, SBCC, LGU mobilization and information systems. Data collected through the landscape analysis will complement and supplement the Rapid Assessment already conducted by DOH, and the participatory situational analysis conducted by the DSWD. 

The Landscape Analysis/Nutrition Situation Assessment will provide updated qualitative and quantitative profiles for the 235 municipalities including the following:

• Key demographic, health, and nutrition-related service coverage data.
• Status of LGU health capacity, and community systems (leadership and governance, fiduciary capacity, service delivery capacity, human resources, capacities of the health workforce information systems, stakeholder analysis and SBCC).
• Status on access of households to and use of clean water, appropriate sanitation, and improved hygiene (WASH) practices, access to ECCD services, and access of 4Ps beneficiaries to Nutrition Programs and Services.
• The institution will be expected to build a system that will deliver an inventory of key data and indicators, with a dashboard to support LGUs on data management and to update the profiles on an annual basis.  The system created by the institution should be interoperable with the DOH Multisectoral Information System (MIS)

Moreover, the landscape analysis will result in an assessment of the functionality of the primary health system in delivering priority nutrition services, drawing key findings, and making recommendations to inform the implementation and monitoring of the PMNP components This will include identifying gaps, bottlenecks, and areas of concerns.
