Under the direct supervision of Nutrition Specialist (P3), the Nutrition Specialist (NoC) is responsible for liaising and managing relations with key ministries at the national level within the context of a project targeted at building resilience for Rohingya Refugees and host communities in Cox’s Bazar and support coordination between national and Cox’s Bazar level government authority i..e DAE, DLS. The Nutrition Specialist, in coordination with section colleagues, will thereby liaise intensively to support the further development and roll-out of a minimum package of nutrition interventions and generate evidence for scale-up within multiple line Ministries.
The project is set within a humanitarian-development nexus context; the influx of refugees has increased and emphasized the local communities’ vulnerabilities. The project aims to address these vulnerabilities through a system strengthening approach, building local capacities in order to build the resilience of communities, systems, and governance congruently. Nutrition outcomes are dependent on a variety of factors, such as access to essential nutrition services, healthy diets, and access to social protection support for the most vulnerable. As such, to achieve improved nutrition depends on different systems, most notably the health system, food system, and social protection system, as well as WASH. In this context, engagement with both national-level Government counterparts for their guidance and instructions, and district-level Government counterparts for their action and support, is necessary to build systemic change for communities.
In addition, the Nutrition Specialist will lead some of technical work related to the development of programme guidelines including those related to emergency and humanitarian-development nexus.
