- Context and justification
The “Path to Resilience and Women’s Empowerment” project “RESIFA / KANA KOLU”, implemented by Helen Keller International Burkina Faso in the Sissili province between 2022 and 2025, aimed to sustainably improve food security, nutrition and economic empowerment of women.
Seventeen (17) months after the project’s completion, Helen Keller International undertakes a sustainability assessment to analyze the extent to which beneficiary households have maintained, strengthened, or lost the project’s gains. This assessment primarily aims to document livelihood continuity, economic resilience, diet quality, and annual food security, while also identifying the factors explaining any observed sustainability or regression.
This assessment is based on a mixed-methods approach combining digital quantitative data collection on the SurveyCTO platform and qualitative data collection through focus groups and interviews with key informants. It also aims to classify households according to their level of sustainability (sustainable, at risk, or declining) using the Household Sustainability Grading Tool (OSDBG).
In this context, Helen Keller International Burkina Faso is recruiting an independent consultant for data processing and drafting the final report.
