Consultant - Regional Landscape Analysis of Management of Small and Nutritionally at-risk Infants Under 6 Months (MAMI) at UNICEF

The purpose of this consultancy is to support countries in the ESA region to strengthen nutrition services for u6m infants by incorporating elements of the MAMI framework where they are weak or missing. The landscape analysis seeks to detail the nutrition services for children u6m in terms of screening, assessment, management, and exit. An outline of what happens at each stage, who is involved, and where it takes place will be conducted. The scope and scale of any MAMI pilot or related intervention in the region will also be mapped. Depending on the availability of resources at the country level, phase two will be conducted being informed by the findings of the 1st phase. Details of the scope of work for phase two and the related costs will be incorporated by way of amendment of the phase one contract.

Under the supervision of the Nutrition Specialist, the consultant will provide technical support in conducting a landscape analysis of nutrition services for small and nutritionally at-risk children under 6 months in the region.
