Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child chance Consultancy Title: Consultant: Documenting country experiences on innovations for improving complementary feeding Section/Division/Duty Station: Nutrition and Child Development Team Programme Group - NYHQ Duration: September 30 2023 to May 30 2024 Home/ office Based: NYHQ – REMOTE (Consultant will be home based with travel if needed) About UNICEF If you are a committed creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you. For 75 years UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries UNICEF supports child health and nutrition good water and sanitation quality basic education for all boys and girls and the protection of children from violence exploitation and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals businesses foundations and governments. UNICEF has over 12000 staff in more than 145 countries. BACKGROUND Purpose Of Activity/ Assignment Document the effectiveness and learning related to the programming and use of the innovation complementary feeding bowl and spoon for improving complementary feeding. Background The complementary feeding ‘bowl and spoon’ developed by UNICEF contributes to addressing the two main pillars of infant and young children’s diets: what children eat (complementary foods) and when and how they are fed (complementary feeding practices). This innovative project was born out of a need to strengthen infant and young child feeding counselling programmes with a tool that could serve as an easy reminder for caregivers on nutrition messages. The bowl and spoon draws on initial prototype research from Emory University which explored and documented the impact of using a feeding bowl to support key messaging around young children’s diets and a slotted spoon to emphasise the right food consistency. UNICEF conducted a series of comprehensive consultations and engaged in an innovation process to further develop the product. As a result the design was modified to incorporate new features that address dietary diversity and hygiene while implementing a more child-friendly and inclusive design in line with UNICEF’s Programming Guidance for young children’s diets. This tool is currently being integrated in 13 countries with UNICEF nutrition programmes: Liberia Niger Nigeria Burundi Malawi State of Palestine Sudan Syria Mozambique Madagascar Uganda Senegal and Burkina Faso. Following a country-level situation analysis in line with government priorities countries have each customized their bowls to reflect national food groups and selected their preferred implementation strategies. As a result the bowl and spoon have been included within a range of IYCF programmes food fortification actions and wider dietary diversity initiatives. Each country is offering a unique learning opportunity where the tool is integrated into existing platforms and networks ranging from primary healthcare facilities community health and nutrition workers mother-to-mother support groups farmers groups or IYCF counsellors. Some countries have incorporated the complementary feeding bowl and spoon as an early childhood development tool. As other stimulating materials the complementary feeding bowl and spoon promote parents’/caregivers’ engagement with children and children’s early development. Results to date suggest this tool can support efforts to improve feeding practices and foods for young children and maximise the impact of nutrition programmes for IYCF for a relatively small additional cost. The first few years of this project with implementation initially on a small scale allow for robust data collection and the development of a greater understanding of the different delivery platforms employed and possible ways to maximise impact. This learning will inform and support the subsequent scale-up of the project such as needed product iteration applicability in emergency settings partnership and programme integration and optimized efficacy equity and sustainability. The learning will also inform the contribution of the tool in improving child development. Scope Of Work A consultant is needed to provide technical leadership in undertaking a thorough documentation of the effectiveness and learnings related to the use of this innovation particularly on feeding practices. The documentation is also an opportunity to provide learning on the acceptability of the product as well as other unintended outcomes such as inclusivity and early childhood development. Deliverables * Develop a methodology for conducting the documentation: the consultant will provide a study outline including methodology and tools for conducting the documentation based on a review of relevant documents and meeting with UNICEF’s nutrition specialist and innovation specialist. * Conduct an initial documentation of the use of the bowl and spoon in all 13 countries: based on the suggested methodology which may include key informant interviews meetings desk reviews questionnaires etc. the consultant will document how the tool is used and what are preliminary findings related to the effectiveness and lessons learned. * Conduct an in-depth documentation of the effectiveness of the use of the tool in three countries that have distinct contexts: based on the suggested methodology which may include conducting a case study the consultant will document the effectiveness of the tool in relation to different outcomes including complementary feeding practices and child development in three selected countries. Document the findings and recommendations in a final report and publication: the consultant will produce a narrative of the results and findings of the documentation including a set of recommendations for scale-up of the project such as product iterations applicability in emergency settings partner and programme integration and optimized efficacy equity and sustainability.
