In brief
The overall purpose of the consultancy is to provide continuous technical and coordination support to strengthen maternal nutrition and micronutrient interventions in the Philippines. The consultancy forms part of UNICEF’s support to the Department of Health and the National Nutrition Council to strengthen maternal health and nutrition, as well as food fortification efforts, through a more coordinated, coherent, and accelerated approach. The Maternal Health and Nutrition Acceleration Plan provides an important framework for accelerating priority interventions, strengthening implementation, and improving coordination across maternal health and nutrition programs. In parallel, there is a need to strengthen and update the strategic direction for food fortification as a distinct intervention area. The development of a Food Fortification Strategy will provide a dedicated framework for setting priorities, strengthening coordination, addressing implementation and regulatory gaps, improving monitoring and quality assurance, and sustaining and scaling food fortification interventions. While the two plans will remain distinct, the Food Fortification Strategy will be aligned with relevant priorities under the Maternal Health and Nutrition Acceleration Plan, particularly by ensuring that food fortification contributes to improving the intake of essential micronutrients, including iron, folic acid, and iodine, among populations at risk of deficiencies, including pregnant women. The consultant will primarily work with DOH-DPCB and NNC-NPPD
