BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
World Food Programme recognizes the crucial need to invest in revision of the Acute Malnutrition guidelines of Ethiopia. In light of this, there is a move towards adopting a multisectoral and multisystem approach to wasting prevention, that includes food, social protection, WASH, health and education systems. To support this initiative, WFP seeks to engage a highly skilled international consultant for the development of the wasting prevention section of the revised National guidelines on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema (acute malnutrition) in infants and children under 5 years.
Project Overview:
In response to the global WHO guidelines release, the Government of Ethiopia has recognized a unique opportunity to revamp its protocols concerning wasting management. Additionally, there is a pressing need to develop guidelines around the prevention of wasting. The objective is to seamlessly integrate these guidelines into a cohesive framework through the development of National Guidelines for the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema (acute malnutrition) in infants and children under 5 years. This pivotal initiative aligns with WFP’s unwavering commitment to supporting the national endeavor in preventing wasting, as outlined in the National Global Action Plan roadmap and the jointly endorsed workplan by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and WFP. In summary, this consultancy represents a significant stride towards addressing acute malnutrition primarily at preventing wasting in children under 5 years and PBW, delivered within an entire community by bridging the gap between global guidelines and localized implementation. Preventive interventions should be implemented through a multisectoral and multisystem approach. This is to acknowledge that interventions delivered together as a package have the most impact on preventing wasting and nutritional oedema, compared to single interventions.
