UNICEF has now issued a Request for Proposals in order to select a supplier for the provision of consultancy services for efficiency analysis of SUN II Nutrition programme BRIEF BACKGROUND The Scaling Up Nutrition Phase II (SUN II) programme was implemented by the Government of the Republic of Zambia, with support from development partners and technical assistance from the UN. The programme aimed to improve maternal and child nutrition during the first 1,000 most critical days of life by promoting multi-sectoral interventions across health, WASH, agriculture, education, and social protection. The SUN II Endline Evaluation assessed programme performance, outcomes, and sustainability across participating districts but did not delve so deep into the efficiency component. The findings will inform the design of future nutrition interventions. As part of the Endline Evaluation, UNICEF seeks the services of a suitable contractor to conduct a focused efficiency analysis, examining how well financial, human, and institutional resources were utilized to achieve programme results within the SUN II implementation context, including its multi-sectoral and multi-donor design.
