About the Organization

Fortify Health is a non-profit organisation that operates in India. We work to address iron-deficiency anaemia as cost-effectively as possible.

Fortify Health has a vision for a healthier world where everyone has the micronutrients they need to survive and thrive. We aim to fulfil this vision by enabling access to micronutrient-rich wheat flour to reduce and prevent iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency anaemia is a formidable public health and economic issue, both in India and internationally.

About the Proposal

Development Consortium is a non-profit in India that implements a project, Fortify Health (FH). The mission of FH is to enable access to micronutrient-rich wheat flour to reduce and prevent iron deficiency anaemia. With a team of ~85 professionals spread across more than 16 states, we operate largely remotely, with regular field work carried out by our technical and programme teams.

Our team engages with a wide variety of stakeholders including wheat flour millers, government officials, and non-profit partners across the country. As we continue to grow in reach and complexity, we are committed to building a high-performing, values-driven team culture through targeted investments in professional development.

Scope of Work

We are seeking support from an experienced consultant or organisation to design and deliver a tailored learning and development initiative that strengthens our team’s capacity across five key focus areas over the next three months, starting August 2025. There is potential for a longer-term engagement in a later second phase, focused on embedding the learnings into ongoing systems and structures.

We seek support in developing and delivering a 90-minute, online training session for each of the topics below that is engaging and action-oriented. The learning and development partner will be expected to support capacity building in the following topics and sub topics (indicative):

• Support team members to strengthen facilitation skills tailored to the audience/participants

• Strengthen adaptive problem-solving skills in fast-paced, field-based environments

Data Analysis and Evidence Use

• Provide practical training in analysing and visualising data using common software such as Excel and Google Sheets
• Strengthen data literacy, including how to read, interpret, use, and design data dashboards

• Provide guidance on effective meeting planning and follow-up, task delegation, on-time task management, and strengthening accountability within project teams
• Support teams in balancing reactive and proactive work through prioritisation and workflow planning tools to meet deadlines

Deliverables

The consultant is expected to deliver the following:

• An overall plan and approach to the assignment, including detailed lesson plans for each session
• A series of five online training sessions, each no longer than 90 minutes, designed to be highly engaging, interactive, and evidence-backed. The first two sessions should be delivered by the end of September 2025 with all sessions delivered by the end of November 2025. 
• Pre-session planning documents to be shared with participants that include session objectives, structure, and key content or frameworks to be used
• Post-session summaries to be shared with participants that highlight key themes, additional resources and implementation guides to transfer learnings into action. 
• Final summary note shared by December 13, outlining lessons learned, potential next steps for deeper capacity building, and suggestions to ensure the learning from the sessions continued to be utilised after the end of the consultancy
