CARE International in Lao PDR is seeking applications for a INTERNATIONAL and/or NATIONAL consultant to carry out a baseline assessment for the “Scaling Up convergent Programme Approaches to improve food and nutrition security in the northern uplands (SUPA)”, funded by the European Union. The objective of the project is to improve food and nutrition security of ethnic women living in remote upland areas, their families and communities.
The project will strengthen the capacity of farmers to promote good WASH, agriculture and health practices related to nutrition and support the implementation of clean water supply and nutrition-sensitive agriculture activity packages. The project works with 50 villages in three districts of Phongsaly and two villages of Luang Namtha. It also engages local government stakeholders into nutrition planning, aiming at increasing their ability to integrate nutrition planning into the respective sector policies and action plans.
The baseline assessment will collect mainly quantitative data against select baseline indicators – with a focus on food security, agriculture, WASH and anthropometric data for nutrition. The baseline will also explore gender relations, in particular with regards to workload sharing for the particular livelihood strategies aiming to improve nutrition as well as women’s control over assets and access to information.
