UNICEF Supply Division (SD) works to ensure equitable and inclusive access to essential supplies and services for children and their families, in development, humanitarian and fragile contexts. These supplies are critical to saving lives, supporting children’s health and education, and protecting them from abuse, exploitation, and neglect. As the UN’s largest end to end supply chain entity, UNICEF leverages its global reach, market influence, supply chain expertise and partnerships with governments, civil society, private sector, industry, and other stakeholders to meet children’s needs and protect their rights around the world. SD focuses on three result areas to maximize impact, scale, and effectiveness: strategic procurement; supply preparedness and response in humanitarian and fragile contexts; and supply chain optimization. To facilitate and accelerate progress toward these results, SD employs three change strategies: financing for supply and services, supply chain digitalization and supply chain localization.

The incumbent collaborates closely with programmes in defining supply interventions to meet programmatic needs and achieve results for children, and provides technical and advisory support to governments, national systems and partners on supply chain management.

Child wasting remains a persistent public health challenge in the Philippines, with low coverage of early identification and treatment services under the Philippine Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (PIMAM). While national policies and guidelines are in place, implementation gaps persist across service delivery, workforce capacity, data systems, supply chain reliability, and sustainable financing. The Child Nutrition Fund (CNF) Programme (2025–2029) supports the Government of the Philippines to accelerate reduction of wasting through five interlinked implementation components: 1. Improving access and uptake of nutrition services 2. Building a skilled and supported workforce 3. Strengthening nutrition data for action 4. Enabling reliable supply of essential nutrition supplies 5. Mobilising and optimizing nutrition financing Within this framework, UNICEF is supporting the nationwide scale-up of the PhilHealth SAM Outpatient Therapeutic Care (OTC) package, updating guidelines and capacities of service providers, strengthening PIMAM implementation across development and emergency contexts, and closing ongoing Simplified Approaches (SA) Operations Research, including Family MUAC and CHW-led treatment pilots. The Philippines through the Child Nutrition Fund channeled through UNICEF Philippines has committed to accrediting at least 2,011 primary health care facilities nationwide by 2029 under the PhilHealth SAM OTC package, alongside improvements in service utilization and admissions. Achieving these targets requires coordinated technical assistance that strengthens the wasting ecosystem across all five CNF components. This consultancy will therefore provide national technical support (capacity building, monitoring of program implementation, quality assurance, and documentation) to advance PIMAM scale-up across these components, while ensuring structured closure and policy translation of the Simplified Approaches Operations Research.

The overall purpose of the consultancy is to provide continuous technical and coordination support to strengthen maternal nutrition and micronutrient interventions in the Philippines. The consultancy forms part of UNICEF’s support to the Department of Health and the National Nutrition Council to strengthen maternal health and nutrition, as well as food fortification efforts, through a more coordinated, coherent, and accelerated approach. The Maternal Health and Nutrition Acceleration Plan provides an important framework for accelerating priority interventions, strengthening implementation, and improving coordination across maternal health and nutrition programs. In parallel, there is a need to strengthen and update the strategic direction for food fortification as a distinct intervention area. The development of a Food Fortification Strategy will provide a dedicated framework for setting priorities, strengthening coordination, addressing implementation and regulatory gaps, improving monitoring and quality assurance, and sustaining and scaling food fortification interventions. While the two plans will remain distinct, the Food Fortification Strategy will be aligned with relevant priorities under the Maternal Health and Nutrition Acceleration Plan, particularly by ensuring that food fortification contributes to improving the intake of essential micronutrients, including iron, folic acid, and iodine, among populations at risk of deficiencies, including pregnant women. The consultant will primarily work with DOH-DPCB and NNC-NPPD
