Dear Potential Bidders,
Nutrition International (NI) is a globalnutrition organization, which aims to
transform the lives of vulnerable people,especially women, adolescent girls,
and children, by improving theirnutritional status and health, as these groups
often have the greatest unmetneeds. NI envisions a world where everyone,
everywhere is free frommalnutrition and able to reach their full potential.
Nutrition Internationalbelieves that good nutrition and gender equality are
mutually reinforcing;improving nutrition is critical to achieving gender
equality, and in turnimproving gender equality leads to improved nutrition.
Access to good nutritionis a universal human right and the potential to
transform is closely linked toovercoming gender inequalities.
Globally, NI is committed to gendermainstreaming. Based on greater nutritional
needs and vulnerabilities, women,adolescent girls, and children are often the
focus, with consideration forintersectionality of other vulnerabilities
emerging from their social andeconomic positions. With the intentionof
contributing to gender equality, NI launched Program Gender EqualityStrategy to
mainstream gender equality systematically into nutrition program ofNI. In
addition, the PresidentialDecree 9/2000 of GoI mandates, that all ministries
and state institutionsshould mainstream gender equality in government programs.
The government hasdesignated Gender Focal Points in every ministry and at
sub-national level toensure gender equality mainstreaming vertically (between
technical ministries)and horizontally (from national to village levels) and
provided the technicalimplementation of this policy.
To initiate a gender mainstreamingprocess in NI’s Adolescent Health and
Nutrition program in Indonesia, NI willconduct Sex and Gender Based Analysis
(SGBA) to assess sex and gender-basedbarriers to girls and woman participation,
potential benefits, and access toresources and interventions. NI has created a
toolkit to guide this process, tosupport NI staff to plan, implement, quality
assure, and guide the analysis inthe SGBA (to be conducted by gender experts).
Conducting a SGBA is the first steptowards designing a gender sensitive or
responsive project. It is intentionalin NI’s programming, and learnings will be
captured throughout the programmingcycle through landscape assessment, design
of Behaviour Change Interventions(BCI), implementation, monitoring (including
gender sensitive indicators andsex disaggregated data), and evaluation.
Through this Terms of Reference (ToR),NI is seeking a gender expert firm to
undertake the SGBA of Adolescent Healthand Nutrition program in 3 provinces –
