Scope of Work for Documentation & Knowledge Management Consultant

Lishe Endelevu is a five-year cooperative agreement funded by USAID to contribute to the Government of Tanzania’s commitment to reduce stunting in children under age 5. Lishe Endelevu (Swahili for “sustainable nutrition”) will reach over 1.63 million women of reproductive age, 1.16 million children under age 5, and 364,735 adolescent 15-19 years of age in Dodoma, Iringa, Morogoro and Rukwa regions. Planned outcomes for the activity include: 1) Strengthened multi-sectoral coordination for improved nutrition at local government level; 2) Improved health, nutrition, caregiving and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) behaviors; 3) Increased access and availability of diverse, safe, and nutritious foods. Lishe Endelevu works directly with CSOs, LGAs, the health care system and communities and families to improve nutrition behaviors and outcomes.

USAID Lishe Endelevu implements high impact nutrition specific, nutrition sensitive and nutrition governance interventions in 23 councils in Dodoma (7 Councils), Morogoro (all 9 Councils), Iringa (3 Councils) and Rukwa (all 4 Councils). The project achieves its objective by delivering nutrition specific, sensitive livelihoods and agriculture activities, nutrition governance, social behavior change (SBCC and community engagement).  Localization is a USAID priority and a major component of Save the Children’s implementation under Lishe Endelevu.  As a result, the first four years of implementation Save the Children has intensely assessed and strengthened the capacity of local organizations to perform better and deliver.  

To successfully capture lessons learned from Lishe Endelevus’s capacity strengthening effort, and inform organizational practices going forward, Save the Children is establishing a series of learning activities to comprehensively document the process of working with and providing capacity strengthening to local entities as a key component of localization and further understanding of the process, challenges, lessons learned and outcomes.
