Jimat is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Support for the Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition (I-CAN) in Tanzania assignment for the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN).

The assignment provided technical support to strengthen the integration of climate action and nutrition within Tanzania's national policy framework. Through comprehensive policy and literature reviews, evidence synthesis, climate and nutrition analyses, stakeholder mapping and consultations, and the development of analytical frameworks, the assignment generated evidence-based recommendations to inform the National Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Action Plan (NMNAP III), the revised Livestock Policy, and the Fisheries Development Strategy.

Working collaboratively with GAIN, government institutions, research organisations, and other stakeholders, Jimat facilitated an inclusive process that promoted policy coherence across the agriculture, livestock, fisheries, nutrition, and climate sectors. The assignment also identified practical opportunities to strengthen climate-resilient, nutrition-sensitive food systems in support of Tanzania Development Vision 2050 (Dira 2050).

We are grateful to the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) for the opportunity to contribute to this important initiative and extend our appreciation to all government counterparts and stakeholders whose collaboration made the assignment a success.

At Jimat, we remain committed to delivering high-quality technical advisory services that support evidence-based policymaking and sustainable development across Africa.

Jimat Development Consultants is pleased to be supporting the SADC Secretariat in undertaking the Tripartite Simplified Trade Regime (TSTR) Baseline Study and the development of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Frameworks across Malawi, Kenya and Uganda.

The assignment establishes the evidence base needed to measure the implementation and performance of the Tripartite Simplified Trade Regime while developing practical M&E frameworks to track progress and inform decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

The study focuses on understanding the awareness, access and utilisation of the STR among Small-Scale Cross-Border Traders (SSCBTs), particularly youth and women, while assessing the effectiveness of Trade Information Desk Officers (TIDOs), Cross-Border Trade Associations (CBTAs) and other border facilitation institutions.

Fieldwork covers four strategic pilot border posts:
📍 Mwami–Mchinji (Zambia–Malawi)
📍 Mandimba–Chiponde (Mozambique–Malawi)
📍 Kasumulu–Songwe (Tanzania–Malawi)
📍 Busia (Kenya–Uganda)

Using a mixed-methods approach, the study will examine trading patterns, border efficiency, trade costs and service delivery, generating evidence that will support inclusive trade facilitation and strengthen regional integration across the Tripartite region.

At Jimat Development Consultants, we are proud to contribute technical expertise that supports evidence-based policy, regional cooperation and economic empowerment, particularly for women and young cross-border traders.

Jimat Development Consultants is currently implementing the Efficiency Analysis Component of the Scaling Up Nutrition Phase II (SUN II) Endline Evaluation in Zambia.

As part of the broader SUN II Endline Evaluation, Jimat’s multidisciplinary evaluation team is undertaking an assessment of programme efficiency, focusing on how financial, human and institutional resources have been utilised to support the delivery of nutrition interventions and achieve intended results.

The analysis is examining the relationship between programme inputs, implementation processes, outputs and outcomes, while assessing factors that have influenced resource utilisation, operational performance and implementation efficiency.

The study is being conducted through a rigorous mixed-methods approach, combining document review, stakeholder consultations, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and triangulation of evidence from multiple sources. The findings will provide evidence on value for money, efficiency drivers and opportunities for strengthening future multisectoral nutrition programming.

Jimat is pleased to be contributing to evidence generation that supports learning, accountability and informed decision-making for nutrition investments in Zambia.

We look forward to continued collaboration with UNICEF Zambia and key stakeholders throughout the remainder of the assignment.

We are pleased to announce that Jimat Development Consultants has commenced implementation of the Comprehensive Mapping of the Youth Ecosystem in Malawi, a six-month assignment for UNDP Malawi, implemented through our Malawi Country Office.

This assignment will provide a comprehensive analysis of Malawi's youth ecosystem by systematically mapping the institutions, programmes, policies, financing mechanisms, partnerships and service delivery platforms that influence youth development outcomes. Using a rigorous mixed-methods approach, the study will generate evidence on the structure, functionality and interconnectedness of the ecosystem while identifying strengths, gaps, overlaps and opportunities for enhanced coordination.

The assessment will engage a broad range of stakeholders—including government institutions, development partners, civil society organisations, youth-led organisations, academia and the private sector—to develop an evidence base that supports more coordinated, inclusive and effective youth development interventions.

The assignment will culminate in a comprehensive ecosystem map and analytical report with practical recommendations to strengthen policy coherence, institutional collaboration and programme effectiveness, contributing to improved opportunities and outcomes for young people in Malawi.

We look forward to working with UNDP Malawi and all stakeholders throughout the implementation of this important assignment.
