The Nutrition Specialist will focus specifically, but not exclusively, on the development of the National ECD strategy as well as national and decentralized capacity strengthening in MIYCN practices and micronutrient supplementation.

Actively monitor programmes and projects through field visits, data analysis and/or exchange of information with partners and stakeholders to assess progress. Identify bottlenecks and potential problems, and take timely and result-based decisions to resolve issues and/or refer to relevant officials for timely resolution.
Monitor and verify the optimum and appropriate use of sectoral programme resources (financial, administrative and other assets) confirming compliance with organizational rules, regulations, procedures, donor commitments, and standards of accountability. Ensure timely reporting and liquidation of resources.
Prepare regular and mandated programme/project reports for management, donors and partners to keep them informed of programme progress.
