REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
FOR
HIRING CONSULTING FIRM/ORGANIZATION TO CONDUCT
“TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR STRENGTHENING OF NOBO JATRA
The following specific data shall be provided by the Consulting firm/organization of the services to conduct “Technical Support for Strengthening of Nobo Jatra Program‟s Management Information
System (MIS)”.
A. GENERAL
Background
of the
Consultancy:
World Vision Bangladesh (WVB), a Christian humanitarian organization,
is dedicated to the wellbeing of children, their families and communities
to serve and partner with people in need regardless of religion, ethnicity,
gender and ability.
„Nobo Jatra-New Beginning‟ is a five-year USAID Food for Peace Title II
Development Food Assistance Project that seeks to improve gender
equitable food security, nutrition and resilience in southwest Bangladesh.
World Vision Bangladesh, together with the World Food Program and
Winrock International and 3 local partner NGOS, undertook the
program in September 2015, integrating interventions in MCHN, WASH,
agriculture and alternative livelihoods, Strengthen Microenterprise
Productivity, disaster risk reduction (DRR), good governance and social
accountability and gender to achieve its objectives. Nobo Jatra is being
jointly implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Disaster
Management and Relief (MoDMR) of the Government of Bangladesh in
four upazilas under two districts – Dacope and Koyra Upazillas in Khulna and Shyamnagar and Kaliganj Upazillas in Satkhira – and it aims to reach
856,116 direct beneficiaries.
The southwestern region of Bangladesh is climate and socio-economically
vulnerable. With the goal to improve gender equitable food security,
nutrition and resilience of vulnerable people in Bangladesh, the project
implements a myriad of interventions that are designed to achieve
increased access to clean water and improved sanitation, improved
maternal and child health and nutrition practices, increased use of climate
smart agricultural techniques and natural resource management (NRM),
improved income diversity, asset maintenance and savings, more
alternative livelihood opportunities for youth, strengthened community
disaster preparedness and response, increased mobility and voice for
women and engagement at national policy level.
Against this backdrop and with the clear incentive to efficiently manage
the huge number of program beneficiaries, Nobo Jatra has developed a
cutting edge real-time Management Information System (MIS) to register
households, enroll program beneficiaries assigning a unique Identification
4
number to each individual and household, maintain up to date service
records and produce accurate and valid analysis, estimates of 42 routine
monitoring indicators and reports. Aggregating data centrally through a
robust MIS system also increases the efficacy in assigning beneficiaries to
appropriate and relevant program interventions.
The MIS is conceptualized and designed to capture diverse ranges of
program data and further provide regulated access to this data to all
relevant stakeholders including the Government of Bangladesh, USAID,
World Vision, and Nobo Jatra consortium partners. However, the
system can be further modified and customized to meet the data needs
of government to track SDGs as Nobo Jatra, by design, is collecting
relevant ground-level information in a variety of sectors, ranging from
health to agriculture to WASH. Validated and accurate information
relating to Nobo Jatra can subsequently be used to inform, adapt, scale
and replicate future programs, and can also be leveraged for further
research across Bangladesh and the region.
Nobo Jatra uses an open sourced (MySQL) web-based online application
using tablets to capture data and information related to households and
participants involved in multiple components and interventions, such as service provision, training and transfers. There are three main protocols
that guide data communication: 1) USAID‟s Open Data Policy, which
ensures that data is open to all users and maintains compliance with
Type of Service : Consultancy on “Technical Support for Strengthening of
Nobo Jatra Program‟s Management Information System (MIS)”.

Section III. Terms of Reference (TOR)
Terms of Reference (TOR)
For “Technical Support for Strengthening of Nobo Jatra Program’s Management
Information System (MIS) for adaptive management and efficient decision
support”
1. Introduction
` This document sets forth the Terms of Reference (ToR) for Technical Support for innovation and research ideas and a strategy for strengthening of the Management Information System
(MIS) for USAID‟s Title II Development Food Assistance Project, „Nobo Jatra-New Beginning‟.
As a flagship project for World Vision Bangladesh and considering the scale and complexity of
interventions, the project requires expert technical guidance on Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) platforms for adaptive management and efficient decision
support. Though NJP has an advanced ICT-based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system,
there is scope for further improvement, which will contribute to efficient and timely decision-
making and that will ultimately contribute to improved results and impact of the program.
2. Organization and Program Background
World Vision Bangladesh (WVB), a Christian humanitarian organization, is dedicated to the
wellbeing of children, their families and communities to serve and partner with people in need
regardless of religion, ethnicity, gender and ability.
„Nobo Jatra-New Beginning‟ is a five-year USAID Food for Peace Title II Development Food
Assistance Project that seeks to improve gender equitable food security, nutrition and
resilience in southwest Bangladesh. World Vision Bangladesh, together with the World Food
Program and Winrock International and 3 local partner NGOS, undertook the program in
September 2015, integrating interventions in MCHN, WASH, agriculture and alternative
livelihoods, Strengthen Microenterprise Productivity, disaster risk reduction (DRR), good
governance and social accountability and gender to achieve its objectives. Nobo Jatra is being
jointly implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) of the Government of Bangladesh in four upazilas under two districts – Dacope and
Koyra Upazillas in Khulna and Shyamnagar and Kaliganj Upazillas in Satkhira – and it aims to
reach 856,116 direct beneficiaries.
3. Assignment Specific Background
The southwestern region of Bangladesh is climate and socio-economically vulnerable. With
the goal to improve gender equitable food security, nutrition and resilience of vulnerable
people in Bangladesh, the project implements a myriad of interventions that are designed to
achieve increased access to clean water and improved sanitation, improved maternal and child
health and nutrition practices, increased use of climate smart agricultural techniques and
14
natural resource management (NRM), improved income diversity, asset maintenance and
savings, more alternative livelihood opportunities for youth, strengthened community disaster
preparedness and response, increased mobility and voice for women and engagement at
national policy level.
Against this backdrop and with the clear incentive to efficiently manage the huge number of
program beneficiaries, Nobo Jatra has developed a cutting edge real-time Management
Information System (MIS) to register households, enroll program beneficiaries assigning a
unique Identification number to each individual and household, maintain up to date service
records and produce accurate and valid analysis, estimates of 42 routine monitoring indicators
and reports. Aggregating data centrally through a robust MIS system also increases the efficacy
in assigning beneficiaries to appropriate and relevant program interventions.
The MIS is conceptualized and designed to capture diverse ranges of program data and further
provide regulated access to this data to all relevant stakeholders including the Government of
Bangladesh, USAID, World Vision, and Nobo Jatra consortium partners. However, the system can be further modified and customized to meet the data needs of government to track SDGs
as Nobo Jatra, by design, is collecting relevant ground-level information in a variety of sectors,
ranging from health to agriculture to WASH. Validated and accurate information relating to
Nobo Jatra can subsequently be used to inform, adapt, scale and replicate future programs,
and can also be leveraged for further research across Bangladesh and the region.
Nobo Jatra uses an open sourced (MySQL) web-based online application using tablets to
capture data and information related to households and participants involved in multiple
components and interventions, such as service provision, training and transfers. There are
three main protocols that guide data communication: 1) USAID‟s Open Data Policy, which
ensures that data is open to all users and maintains compliance with USAID policy 2) project
approved M&E plan, agreement standards between the project and stakeholders, and 3) Data
Quality Assessments both internal and external using USAID‟s DQA guidelines.
4. Objectives
Major objectives for this assignments are,
i) To enhance capability of Nobo Jatra‟s Management Information System for improved
decision making in different layers of management
ii) To enable health related data compatible with government MIS system
iii) To generate and organize data in an accessible and useable format for data utilization
by many stakeholders
5. Purpose of the Consultancy
Current MIS of Nobo Jatra is adequate to produce quarterly and annual reports for USAID as
well as to meet the needs of internal data reqiurements. Nobo Jatra has had an internal
15
review and reflection and the finding shows that there is scope for the MIS system to capture
new data for decision making1 at different layers of management2.
World Vision is seeking technical support from a specilized consulting firm/organization to
conduct a thorough review and analysis of NJP‟s MIS data and systems to identify and
implement where there is scope for innovations and evidence-generation that may contribute
to informed decision-making, improve data quality, and streamline data analysis and
compilation.
Program persons from front line staff to senior managers recieve day to day data from this
system, which assist in decision making and eventually improving efficienty of the program.
Nobo Jatra‟s improved MIS system, with realtime new data, meets the overarching need,
which leverages outcome level evidences for donors and stakeholders.
6. Deliverables
Consultant firm is expected to deliver the following:
1. Report from the review and anlaysis of NJ exisiting data, data processes and data
needs assessment
2. Actionable recommendations based on the analysis of data in MIS
3. Dashboard accessible and useable by stakeholders
4. Improved system with new/improved interface, new database tables and queries.
5. Data synconization between NJP MIS and Govt. MIS
6. Guidelines/manuals that describe steps/mechanisms/tools to efficiently make
management decisions and refine implementation.
7. Training completion report on „improved MIS system‟
7. Specific tasks
The scope of the consultancy involves the following principal and specific tasks:
1) Undertake a thorough review and analysis of existing data for each technical component
Reduction and Good Governance) currently stored within the MIS.
a. Based on this analysis, clearly identify the existing data and recommend how it can be
used to
i. Refine implementation, enable improved and timely decision making and
adaptive management, and
ii. Showcase the evidences of outcome of Nobo Jatra interventions.
b. The analysis will include current workflow, data processes, and data flow within the
project (including the MIS, existing formative research, assessments etc.), and identify
gaps and missed opportunities with regard to data collection and data use.
1 A table, available in Annex I, shows new data that needs to be collected and partial data that exists.
2 A stakeholders’ analysis shows different layers of management and stakeholders who could potentially be benefitted by
the new data of MIS.
16
c. Based on review and needs assessment (Annex 1), develop new interface or amending
existing interface and database tables for moving forward and best used with
integrated in the existing data collection, data processes and MIS.
2) Harmonize current MIS that will generate new data from the existing data through developing
new queries that existing system cannot address. Potentially new data will also be collected
using new interface or amending existing interface and database tables (if required). For
example, improved system will have computation on „what is the rate of stunting against
intervention‟. It will ensure value for money for the project.
3) Develop a program dashboard with different disaggregation where managers and staff at
different layers can easily understand the information and take action accordingly for
management decision and program improvement. The dashboard will be accessible via mobile
