Start-Up Consultant for GAIN-Baduta project

Background

Save the Children is currently implementing GAIN-coordinated BADUTA project from 2014-2017. Our project goal is to contribute to reducing malnutrition among infants, and young children (up to 24 months) and pregnant women in East Java. The BADUTA project will focus on working within the formal health system to build capacity of health workers to successfully integrate key nutrition messages and services into delivery of maternal and child health services, both in facilities and in community outreach by formal health workers. We will support this with a strong behavior change communication strategy that draws on experience from other projects and also focus on training community health workers (kaders Posyandus).

We will also work to incorporate key infant and young child feeding (IYCF) good practices and information into the monthly, community-run Mother's Classes (kelas ibu) and build the capacity of IYCF counselors at the community level. We will work with communities and elected officials on budget development to ensure adequate resource allocation.
