UNICEF
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most
disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help
them fulfill their potential.
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, health
The Ministries of Education, Science and Technology and Health have played an
important role in ensuring greater coverage, counseling and tracking of
compliance of IFA in Schools and community platforms. However, challenges have
emerged from the different structures in communication and reporting between
health and education structures. IFA Compliance among the adolescents is also
a challenge due to cultural beliefs and misconceptions. UNICEF Malawi would
like to support the Ministry of Education Science and Technology and the
Ministry of Health in strengthening IFA compliance tracking and monthly
reporting on comprehensive adolescent nutrition package (dietary
diversification, promotion of consumption of fortified foods and
supplementation) at district level.
As such, based on the gaps that the district councils identified and the
recommendations from the field, UNICEF would like to strengthen the 6
districts’ capacity by recruiting 1 intern per district to be based at the
District Council to support the government’s Principal Nutrition and HIV/AIDS
Officers in monitoring and tracking adolescent nutrition programme indicators
and IFA compliance on monthly basis in both implementation platforms so that
up-to- date data is provided in timely manner to national level for evidence
generation and replication in other districts. The use of Interns will
facilitate the use of innovative ways to identify effective community
platforms to provide nutrition education to motivate adolescents in increasing
their knowledge, awareness, attitude and general behavior for preventing
anaemia and improving their overall nutritional status. The internship program
will also be contributing the government of Malawi overall internship youth
development scheme managed by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
