RFP 2055-XX: Orientation Workshop Capacity Building - West Java

Nutrition InternationaI (NI) is an Ottawa-based, international not-for-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that the world's most vulnerable especially women and children in developing countries get the vitamins and minerals they need to survive and thrive. Working with impacted families, communities and nations, we are improving lives of close to 500 million people in more than 70 countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America. NI has been implementing high-impact, high-coverage health, and nutrition initiatives for vulnerable communities in Indonesia since 2006. NI’s priority objectives in Indonesia include the survival and health of children, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women as well as women of reproductive age, primarily through improved coverage and use of key micronutrients, such as vitamin A, zinc, iron and folic acid as well as wheat flour fortification and iodized salt.

Save the Children (SC) has been working in Indonesia since 1976 and has worked in 16 of Indonesia’s 34 Provinces. In 2017, SC worked in 11 Provinces and 43 Districts, reaching over 230,000 direct beneficiaries. SC’s programming and technical expertise are primarily in the areas of health and nutrition, education, and child rights – including child protection, child poverty, and child rights governance. Save the Children is also an active player in the national policy and advocacy space, particularly in the realm of working with sub-national government actors on effective management of financial and technical resources.

The Better Investment for Stunting Alleviation (­BISA) project is an integrated nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive project designed jointly by Save the Children and Nutrition International (BISA team) to assist the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to realise the goal of the National Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Prevention (2018-2024). BISA targets two Provinces – West Java (WJ) and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Under the BISA project, NI supports a baseline survey that will assess the knowledge, attitude and practices among school going adolescents girls and teachers on the causes and consequences of anaemia and the benefits of IFA supplementation in the two provinces.

BISA through NI is planning to organize orientation workshops and capacity development activities in the four initial districts targeted by the BISA project.  Orientation workshops will be conducted at district and puskesmas levels and will include the participation of  district level officials, puskesmas and teachers. Capacity development activites will be conducted in the form of Training of Trainers (ToT) for district level officials in Kupang and TTU districts, followed by cascade training for puskesmas and teachers.

BISA through NI seeks to contract a local agency to organize the following activities, in West Java province: 1) orientation workshops at district level, 2) orientation sessions at puskesmas level, and 3) cascade training sessions for puskesmas staff and teachers.
