Feed the Future Zone of Influence Survey

The purpose of this request for proposals (RFP) is to procure the services of a specialized firm to implement a population-based survey to collect data to quantify key indicators and establish an endline for the first phase and a baseline for the second phase of Feed the Future in Kenya.

Feed the Future seeks to reduce poverty, hunger, and undernutrition among women and children, and to increase income, resilience, women's empowerment, dietary diversity, and appropriate feeding practices, and improve hygienic environments. Program efforts are designed to impact the population in Zones of Influence (ZOI) in Feed the Future target countries. One of the main tools to track progress in achieving Feed the Future's high-level objectives are population-based performance indicators collected at baseline and then periodically thereafter.

The purpose of the 2018 Feed the Future ZOI Survey in Kenya is to provide United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/Kenya, its U.S. Government interagency partners, the USAID Bureau for Food Security, USAID Missions, the Government of Kenya, and development partners with information on the current status of the Feed the Future population-based ZOI level indicators in Kenya. The survey is designed to (1) determine whether there has been statistically significant change over time in the Feed the Future phase one ZOI key outcome and impact indicators, and (2) establish the baseline status of Feed the Future phase two ZOI indicators. Therefore, the 2018 Kenya ZOI Survey is intended to serve both as an endline for Feed the Future phase one and a baseline for Feed the Future phase two in Kenya.
