About

The World Food Programme (WFP) is seeking implementing partners to support the delivery of life-saving nutrition assistance in Kassala State, Sudan, where conflict, displacement, food insecurity, and limited access to essential services continue to drive high levels of acute malnutrition. The programme aims to prevent and treat malnutrition through integrated food and nutrition interventions, combining in-kind food assistance and cash-based transfers with nutrition education and social and behaviour change activities. Priority will be given to locations experiencing the most severe overlap of food insecurity and Global Acute Malnutrition, including hard-to-reach communities, as identified through IPC Acute Food Insecurity analyses, SMART surveys, and Nutrition Cluster priorities. The programme will primarily benefit children aged 6 to 59 months and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls who face the greatest risk of malnutrition and mortality. Planned activities include the prevention and treatment of moderate acute malnutrition, targeted supplementary feeding, early identification and referral of malnourished individuals, follow-up support, and interventions that strengthen household nutrition practices and access to quality nutrition services. Through these efforts, WFP seeks to improve nutritional recovery, reduce malnutrition-related mortality, and ensure timely assistance reaches the most vulnerable populations in Kassala. Grant size and project duration have not been specified in the call information.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants are organizations with the capacity and operational presence to support the implementation of integrated nutrition and food assistance programmes in Kassala State, Sudan, in alignment with WFP’s objectives and standards. Applicants should demonstrate technical expertise in nutrition programming, including the prevention and treatment of acute malnutrition, community-based nutrition interventions, nutrition education, and social and behaviour change activities. Experience working in emergency and humanitarian settings, particularly with vulnerable populations such as children under five years of age and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls, will be an important consideration. Proposals will be assessed based on their ability to deliver quality nutrition services, effectively target populations most affected by food insecurity and malnutrition, operate in hard-to-reach areas, coordinate with relevant humanitarian mechanisms, and contribute to equitable and timely access to life-saving nutrition assistance.
