Organizational Setting

Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) is a multi-stakeholder movement to reduce hunger and under-nutrition and contribute to the realization of all the Sustainable Development Goals, with a specific focus on the importance of first 1,000 days of life to prevent malnutrition. The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement focuses on promoting the implementation of evidenced-based nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions, integrating nutrition goals into broader efforts by bringing together other sectors and multiple actors to scale-up nutrition actions.

Building on the successes of the REACH (Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger and undernutrition) approach, UN Nutrition, through its UN member agencies will support ten (10) national and subnational governments, including four ongoing Irish Aid funded REACH countries, Lesotho, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe by strengthening national capacities for nutrition governance, for effective engagement in multi-stakeholder processes and platforms and for joint planning and programming for nutrition. To this end, relevant tools and services from the REACH portfolio, such as multi-sectoral nutrition analyses and multi-agency and multi-sectoral facilitation for nutrition can be made available to ten (10) countries. Additionally, key tools including standards, norms, guidelines and other knowledge products from UN agencies will be identified and made available to country stakeholders. Gender equality will be part of the multi-sectoral nutrition analyses to challenge harmful social norms that affect the potential contribution of women and girls to achieve better nutritional outcomes. Planned capacity development activities will include training on gender mainstreaming in nutrition, and country reports and Knowledge Management (KM) products will help identify and disseminate gender-responsive good practices for nutrition. In short: Coordination for joint positions and multi-sectoral processes for nutrition to support governments to scale up joint actions for nutrition. Countries targeted for the Irish Aid-UN Nutrition support will be selected based on specific country needs and requests from stakeholders and in discussion with Irish Aid and national stakeholders. The UN Nutrition’s country specific approach and Theory of Change will be further elaborated during the lifespan of the project, based on its findings and learnings.

The UN seeks the services of a national-level Facilitator to support REACH activities in 2018-19. The Facilitator will be hosted by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations and will work closely with the SUN Focal Point and other staff with nutrition governance responsibilities. The facilitator will provide oversight to the implementation of the UN Nutrition country support work plan (UNN work plan) and will liaise with the government, civil societies, UN network, donor communities and other stakeholders to advocate for investments in nutrition, integrate nutrition across multiple sectors and strengthen governance and accountability for nutrition within the country.

Reporting Lines

The overall supervision will be under the Assistant FAOR (Programme). For technical assignments, the National Facilitator will work under the supervision of the Chair of the UN Network. For day-to-day support, the Facilitator will work (60% of his/her time) with the SUNFP UN nutrition focal points and (40% of his/her time) with the National Coordinator of the SUN Secretariat. He/she will also work in close liaison with the REACH Regional Facilitator, UN Nutrition Secretariat.

Technical Focus

With this project, and in conformity with its functions, UN Nutrition expects to generate the following outcomes:

Outcome 1: Knowledge and learnings from ongoing (and exiting) REACH countries on how to achieve sustained nutrition governance at national and subnational level captured and shared.
