22. Preamble Action Against Hunger tackles the causes and effects of hunger and diseases that threaten the lives of vulnerable children, women and men. Established in France in 1979, Action Against Hunger are a nongovernmental, non-political, non-religious, non-profit organization. Action Against Hunger opened a headquarters in Canada in 2006. This office fosters better understanding of hunger in malnourished communities and the best ways to support them, recruits committed Canadian experts who work alongside communities to save lives and develop sustainable solutions, and supports the ‘big picture’ – global collaboration of governments, agencies and citizens working on solving hunger. The Global Nutrition Cluster Technical Alliance The Global Nutrition Cluster Technical Alliance (GNC Technical Alliance or Alliance) is an initiative for the mutual benefit of the nutrition community, and affected populations, to improve the quality of nutrition in emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. The Alliance consists of two pillars of work, Thought Leadership (developing interim guidance and advancing NiE technical areas) and the Technical Support Team. The Technical Support Team (TST) exists to provide timely, cost effective, coordinated, and sustainable technical support to nutrition emergencies. This is achieved by offering expert guidance, high quality learning and training, either remotely, through the deployment of an Advisor or through recommendations of expert nutrition consultants. Support can be accessed, by anyone interested in nutrition, via the Request Form. All requests for support, however small, from all types of organizations (including government) should submit requests here, and a response will be received within 24 hours. The GNC Technical Alliance Partners are made up of the GNC partners and other individuals, organizations, initiatives, and academia at global, regional and national levels that hold nutrition technical expertise across the humanitarian and development spheres. AAHCA-IOP-2022-01 Action Against Hunger – 5 / 34 Procurement 2019 The GNC Technical Alliance strives to improve the quality, efficiency and coordination of technical support to nutrition emergency responders. This includes developing innovative new approaches to provide remote support, ensuring that all nutrition responses are gender-sensitive, expanding the number, language profile and technical areas of the GNC Technical Alliance Consultant Roster, and working with local organizations and experts to provide an efficient and adapted response to nutrition emergencies. SMART The Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions (SMART) is a nutrition assessment methodology that was specifically designed to provide decision-makers with the ability to collect reliable and accurate nutrition and mortality data, both in humanitarian and development contexts. After more than a decade of refinement and application, SMART has grown to be the reference and gold standard cross-sectional field methodology among organizations and governments. The methodology has evolved to include Rapid SMART methods that Action Against Hunger has used to assess displaced populations and in conflict contexts where there is limited access (e.g. Afghanistan, South Sudan, Central Africa Republic) and national SMART surveys that are currently being adopted by many countries (e.g. Malawi 2019, Syria 2019, Tanzania 2014-2018, Lebanon 2021, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Central Africa Republic). As the Global SMART Initiative Convener, the SMART Project Team at Action Against Hunger Canada supports key nutrition stakeholders by enhancing response capacity in emergencies, high-risk contexts with an absence of reliable data, interventions with displaced populations, and in development settings. SMART also provides support by ensuring coordination and dissemination of information around the methodology and advancing technical capacity to conduct SMART surveys. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada and in three strategic regional hubs in East Africa (Nairobi), Middle East (Amman), and Asia (Dhaka), the SMART Initiative has presence in over 55 countries where SMART methodology is regularly used by governments, UN agencies, INGOs, and national NGOs, including: Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic Of Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Haiti, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Peru, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, Togo, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Georgia, Iraqi Kurdistan, Jordan, Afghanistan, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen. Action Against Hunger Canada works closely with national governments, UNICEF offices, and local and international NGOs. The response capacity of the organization enables it to deploy to and provide technical support during emergencies even if these occur in countries with no pre-existing organizational presence (e.g. Syria cross border operation in Turkey 2016-2019, Mozambique 2014-2019, Malawi 2019).
