Under the supervision of the Nutrition Manager, the consultant will facilitate quality improvement initiatives in two districts in the Eastern Cape Province to scale-up interventions aimed at strengthening early identification of undernutrition and screening of children at household level by caregivers, using MUAC screening as an entry point. A package of services will be anchored on the five pillars of the Road to Health Booklet which are nutrition, love, protection, health care and extra care.
Under the supervision of the Nutrition Manager in the Health and Nutrition section, the consultant will document South Africa’s experience in improving school food environments through the development and operationalization of the Blueprint, and the piloting of seven interventions in one province. The consultancy will produce informative materials that capture the knowledge and lessons learned from the South African journey, with the aim of sharing these insights widely. These materials will serve as a resource for other countries considering similar initiatives and be used for advocacy purposes.
The lessons learned will be shared with government authorities (at national, provincial, and district levels), UNICEF, other UN agencies, development partners, and the general public to foster broader adoption of successful strategies.
