SNV Netherlands Development Organization is a not-for-profit international development Organisation, founded in the Netherlands in 1965. SNV operates in more than 25 developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa. For detailed information on SNV visit: Link.
Working in Cambodia since 2005, SNV implements projects in the agriculture, energy, and water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sectors. Using market-based approaches, we emphasize environmental sustainability and inclusive development. We work in close collaboration with the royal government, civil society, and private sector. Our multi-national team of experts works from our national office in Phnom Penh.
Our work in the Energy Sector contributes to our Sector Strategy and Country Plan through projects that are financed and supported by a variety of donors and social investors. At a global level, our Energy programmes reached 1.2 million people in 13 countries in 2019, with people having new access to sustainable and affordable energy
Energy in Cambodia
70% of the total energy in Cambodia is used as cooking energy. In rural Cambodia, wood is still the dominant fuel for cooking. The use of biomass for cooking fuel and associated smoke exposure contributes to serious health problems. It is estimated that 15% of the country’s deaths are attributable to traditional cooking practises, similar to the toll of tobacco smokers. Many more lives, mainly women and children, are affected by severe health conditions that depress the quality and length of life.
Smoke Free Village
Since 2015 SNV has worked through EnDev (website) on a programme to address the negative social, economic, environmental, and health impacts of traditional cooking in rural Cambodia. From mid 2020 the project increasingly adopted the Smoke Free Village (SFV) approach.

Consultancy Objective
The objective for the consultancy is to expand and continue leading the knowledge program work around monitoring, evaluation, and knowledge management. Our goal is to enable EnDev’s understanding of the effectiveness of the Smoke Free Village approach, to validate the results, and to provide deeper insight and avenues for improvements.
The consultant will be responsible for the expansion of data monitoring and evaluation across current and new targeted areas. The consultant will enable a transition of data monitoring and evaluation from Excel to PowerBI for presenting compelling dashboards/reports with the latest results. In addition, the consultant will continue testing and scaling up the LogAlto-based Logbooks in different communities as part of our efforts to digitalise our M&E systems. The consultant will continue developing different knowledge products linking field data and literature in the form of presentations, short-summary articles, modelling, social media posts, as well as knowledge briefs.
The consultant will also support the team with a mission in Cambodia by participating directly in the deployment of SFV activities, as well as on the data collection and understanding of the data compiled. During these visits, the consultant will support, if necessary, in conducting a ToT for LogAlto and other relevant tools to streamline the M&E process.
The consultant will also support SNV in utilising the data from the previous assessment study to engage in a research article of the SFV campaign done jointly with academic experts.
