Background and objectives

The Country Strategic Plan (CSP) Review (2023–2027) provides a comprehensive assessment of WFP India Country Office (CO) strategy and programmatic activities over the period. It aims to generate evidence, insights, and strategic direction to inform decision-making and the formulation of the next CSP (2028–2032).

 Specifically, the review will:

• Undertake a landscape and context analysis of the food security and nutrition sector in India;

• Assess the CSP 2023–2027, including programmatic performance and partnerships with the Government of India and State Governments;

• Generate independent, impartial evidence and strategic learnings from programme implementation to inform future strategic direction;

• Identify opportunities and potential for resource mobilization from diverse funding sources.

The review will include both internal and external components. The internal component will focus on performance analysis of the current CSP, while an external review will focus on the landscape analysis including funding landscape, which will be led by a team of consultants (one Team Leader and three subject matter experts), each contracted individually.
