Objectives of the Consultancy

1. Measure poverty reach. We seek to understand the reach of our Round 2 portfolio to people living in poverty (PLIP), engaged as suppliers, last-mile distributors, and/or customers across the investees’ supply chains. At IAP, we define poverty reach as the degree to which the programme is reaching people that earn less than US$8/capita/day purchasing power parity (PPP). While we have been tracking the scale of impact results for the Round 2 portfolio, we would like to verify the concentration of our target group reached, expressed as the percentage of suppliers, distributors or customers from our investees who are considered PLIP.
2. Measure depth of impact created. Now that the investees’ inclusive business projects have come to an end due to the conclusion of the IAP funding, we want to look beyond the number of people reached and understand the depth of impact achieved. Thus, we seek to understand how customers experience the goods or services provided by investees and how it affects their quality of life. The survey results should provide our investees with actionable insights regarding customer experience, powering data-driven decisions, including through a gender lens.

Scope and methodology

We specifically ask the Consultant to apply the following existing methodologies to align with methodologies applied during IAP’s Round 1 portfolio and to allow for consolida tion of results across both phases of the project.
