Programme Specialist, Maternal Nutrition - P3

United States of America, New York, New York - UNICEF empImg

UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job ? it is a calling. UNICEF is a place where careers are built: we offer our staff diverse opportunities for personal and professional development that will help them develop a fulfilling career while delivering on a rewarding mission. We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF.   For every child, good Nutrition To date, progress has been slow on improving access to nutritious diets, essential nutrition services and positive nutrition and care practices adolescent girls and women need to live full, healthy and equal lives. This is reflected in the high rates of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and anemia, which have barely decreased in the last two decades. Despite these challenges, evidence is mounting and momentum for women's nutrition is growing at global, regional and national level. Anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies can be prevented, even among girls and women living in the most challenging circumstances.  To harness this momentum, UNICEF launched an ?Improving Maternal Nutrition Acceleration Plan' in March 2024, to prevent malnutrition and anaemia during pregnancy. It aims to fast-track the delivery of a package of essential services, reaching 16 million women across 16 priority countries by the end of 2025: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Rwanda, Somalia, Sri Lanka and the United Republic of Tanzania. The essential package of services will largely be delivered via antenatal care (ANC), a critical platform for delivery of services, health promotion, and disease prevention during pregnancy. It represents a unique opportunity for early detection and management of diseases, micronutrient deficiencies, malaria, and other health conditions which otherwise could jeopardize the health of mothers and their babies. Part of the essential package of services will be the delivery of multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS), which contains 15 essential vitamins and minerals and has been proven to have significant benefits for mother and baby when taken during pregnancy. The introduction of MMS can be used as a catalyst to strengthen overall ANC service delivery, to update national guidelines, and to improve training of community-based health and nutrition workers for quality service provision.   How can you make a difference? To help meet UNICEFs ambitious agenda set out in the Acceleration Plan, this role will support current HQ staff for implementation of the Plan, across the 16 countries. The role will support effective and efficient knowledge management and communication, including: supporting countries to develop robust monitoring and learning; working with country and regional offices to strengthen the policy environment and developing localized advocacy plans; documenting qualitative aspects of maternal nutrition service delivery and how the scale up of MMS is being used as a catalyst for  scaling up and improving the quality of service provision, including at community level; supporting donor reporting; supporting the development of social and behavior change materials and training; working with Supply Division in supporting countries in forecasting their supply needs ensuring that countries have timely delivery of the required commodities; and participating in end-line documentation of key lessons learned for scale-up.   To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have to?
