UNICEF seeks a consultant to support the mobilization of catalytic finance for the WASH sector and the preparation of the Sanitation Programme Facility (SPF) in Nigeria.
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.
