Save the Children leads the full implementation of ENGINE – USAID’s flagship multi-sector nutrition project – in 100 districts in the four main regions of Ethiopia (Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray). ENGINE is a five-year, integrated nutrition project (2011 – 2016) that aims to improve the nutritional status of women and children less than five years of age through sustainable, coordinated and evidence-based interventions. The project has a robust learning agenda that includes a mandate to widely disseminate lessons-learned and key findings to influence nutrition policy and practice to reduce stunting.
The purpose of knowledge management is to ensure that knowledge and information are shared with people who need it in a timely fashion to inform decision making. Knowledge management is recognized as a key strategy to support evidence-informed decision making. The ENGINE project is seeking a consultant to develop a workable knowledge management strategy in order to build upon its current successes and performance. The strategy should be implementable both by in-house staff and consultant.
Only proposals from individuals will be accepted. Proposal from firms will not be accepted.
