ICB Grant
The current Institutional Capacity Building (ICB) project builds on previous USAID/FFP institutional support in the form of the Program Enhancement Grant (PEG), Institutional Support Grant (ISG), and Institutional Support Assistance (ISA). World Vision has sought through the ICB to improve Title II food security programming by instituting appropriate systems and learning lessons related to the following ICB activities:
¨ Promoting collaboration with other ICB NGOs on program implementation, cross fertilization and sharing of promising practices.
¨ Enhancing World Vision’s Food Resources Global Information System (IPG portal and web-based mapping tool).
¨ Piloting the Geospatial, Warning, Information, Surveillance, Evaluation, and Response (GWISER) system to more effectively monitor vulnerabilities (GERANDO).
¨ Improving World Vision capacity in food-assisted programming management, implementation, design, monitoring, and evaluation.
¨ Instituting comprehensive, competency-based staffing standards.
The two Strategic Objectives (SO) and Intermediate Results (IR) supported by the ICB grant include:
SO1: Improved food insecurity vulnerability identification and programming.
IR 1.1: Improved use of food security data for program design, implementation, and evaluation of programs.
IR 1.2: Established and implemented best practices in vulnerability targeting.
SO2: Improved comprehensive management of Title II programs
IR 2.1: Identified and implemented best practices for program impact evaluation.
IR2.2: Institutionalized standards and best practices for food security program management.
IR2.3: Upgraded and implemented best practices in commodity management and accountability.
World Vision’s five-year ICB grant program began in September 2003, and will end in September 2008.
