ENSAND 2.0 Evaluation in Nigeria

The Enhancing Access to Safe and Nutritious Diets 2.0 (ENSAND) (2024-2026) project is designed to address the low per capita consumption of vegetables and variety of vegetable consumption in northern Nigeria by working with smallholder farmers to increase production and promoting healthier diets through greater vegetable consumption among farmers and their neighbors. The objective of this evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of GAIN's ENSAND program for increasing the quantity and variety of vegetables consumed by smallholder farmer households participating in the program and neighbor households paired with the farmers. This evaluation will use a quasi-experimental design to assess the impact of GAIN's ENSAND programs on the quantity and diversity of vegetables consumed by smallholder farmers and their neighbors. The evaluation will be guided by the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance) framework. RE-AIM is a framework that is useful for evaluating the program impact of multifaceted and multilevel interventions.
