The United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Office of Food for Peace (FFP) awarded the Food Aid Quality Review Phase III Option Year 1 contract to Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy for the period covering February 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020. The Food Aid Quality Review (FAQR) seeks to provide USAID and its partners with actionable recommendations on ways to improve nutrition among vulnerable people for whom the direct distribution of food aid can make a significant impact.
FAQR Phase III has developed the Food Assistance Cost-Effectiveness Tool (FACET) to support FFP and its partners in making cost-effective decisions around nutrition programming of specialized nutritious foods (SNF). During Option Year 1, FAQR will deliver the finalized version of FACET with accompanying materials, and support FFP to sensitize potential users and roll out the tool.
The FAQR FACET User Manual Research Assistant will work closely with the FAQR Cost Specialist/Data Analyst and other relevant FAQR team members to develop a multi-media FACET user manual. The RA’s responsibility will be to assist in the development of user manual.
