  ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT<\/h2>\n

  The World Food Program (WFP) has decades of experience in implementing school feeding programs and supporting governments to establish and scale up national school feeding programmes.<\/p>\n

  WFP's School Feeding Strategy 2020-2030 emphasizes that WFP will change the way it works with governments, strengthening the sustainability and institutionalization of its efforts through a better understanding of priorities and national challenges and helping governments tailor their responses to specific national contexts. In this way, WFP aims to help strengthen systems, provide technical assistance, improve the scale and quality of national programs and help governments innovate and test new approaches.<\/p>\n

  In this context, the WFP Country Strategic Plan in Benin for the period 2019\u20132023 includes the dimension of institutional capacity building, with a view to ultimately helping the Government to design and carry out an integrated national development program. school feeding based on local production.<\/p>\n

  In this dynamic, the Government of Benin, with the support of WFP, will undertake an exercise to assess national capacities in the area of school feeding with the SABER-SF tool (System Assessment and Benchmarking for Education Results – Systemic Approach to Improve Results of Education) for better results in school feeding in July 2023. The SABER-SF is a tool that was developed by the World Bank, WFP and the Partnership for Child Development ( PCD) with the overall objective of helping governments identify the strengths and weaknesses of their school feeding policies, systems and programs and identify key areas on which to focus investments. The analysis further enables the development of national action plans or evidence-based roadmaps to improve their school feeding policies, systems and programmes. The SABER-SF examines five fundamental policy objectives that form the basis of an effective school feeding program, including policy and regulatory frameworks, financial capacity, institutional capacity and coordination, program design and implementation. program, and community roles. Benin had the opportunity to conduct two previous editions of SABER in 2014 and 2017. In 2022, it also carried out an inclusive exercise to identify national capacity building needs at various levels. The action plan resulting from the SABER process will also facilitate the development of Benin's national commitment note following the declaration of commitment to the global coalition for school feeding. Benin is indeed a member of the global coalition and its President of the Republic is one of its champions.<\/p>\n

  In support of the Government, the WFP office in Benin wishes to recruit two national consultants (one senior and one junior) to support the exercise which will include pre-consultations, group discussions with key local, national and international stakeholders, a workshop validation of data collected on the status of Benin's school feeding program according to the five policy objectives and the formulation of a national action plan to advance the national school feeding program. The process will be conducted under the direction\/leadership of the Government of Benin with the support of WFP.<\/p>\n

  WFP works with government, other UN agencies, NGOs, private sector companies and others to mobilize resources, find innovative solutions and reach vulnerable communities in Benin.<\/p>\n
