RACIDA TENDER JULY 2025
| REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL |
RACIDA in partnership with former USAID’s BHA is implementing an integrated humanitarian response that leverages interventions in the sectors of WASH, Nutrition, Agriculture and Food Assistance to respond to persisting humanitarian needs arising from the 2021-23 drought and floods in late 2023 in Mandera County. The project, entitled “Integrated Recovery Response to Drought and Flood in Mandera County, Kenya (IRR)” is built upon both an independent assessment conducted by RACIDA in Mandera County in 2024 as well as RACIDA’s close collaboration with stakeholders in government (including the Mandera County Steering Group, the Mandera County Department of Nutrition, local community leaders, and the like.
IRR is designed to support communities experiencing high rates of food insecurity and malnutrition, poor access to water quality for household and livestock, as well as poor livestock health outcomes.
The project seeks to alleviate the impact of humanitarian disasters by increasing access to nutrition services in hard-to-reach areas in Mandera County (including improving the coverage of integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) services), improving household Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices (IYCF), enabling improved household nutrition and hygiene practices, reducing the burden of livestock diseases, and improving access to emergency treated and protected water supply for human and livestock consumption.
