Job Description

PD Reference: PD-ABU-03924
Summary of the proposed response:
Focusing entirely on improving nutrition outcomes among target populations through multi-sectoral interventions, the project will support improved access to quality nutrition services through the management of acute malnutrition to prevent widespread morbidity and mortality of the vulnerable populations in Borno Konduga and Nganzai LGA and Yobe Machina and Nguru LGA states. ACF and partner’s proposed response focused on the first 1,000 days of life approach including pregnant and breastfeeding women.
The project supports the treatment of severe acute malnutrition in 12 OTPs 6 HFs in Borno and 6HFs in Yobe and including 2 stabilization centres in hotspot locations in Konduga and Nganzai LGAs for management of complicated and uncomplicated form of malnutrition. Screening for acute malnutrition isdone both at the facility and community level while conducting interventions on Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition MIYCN and care practices, psychological first aid, psychoeducation, individual and group counselling and referral for children and caregivers of malnourish children. The project also provides conditional cash to mothers of children with moderate acute malnutrition MAM at group level to access high energy dense local nutritious diets Tom-Brown. These community led activities are linked with vaccination programs, counselling on maternal health care practices including sexual reproductive health and right such as decision on number of children to birth, when to have sexual intercourse and option for family planning. This holistic approach aims to improve the health and nutrition outcome of the pregnant and breastfeeding women.
With a major focus on the 1000 days of life and due to the high number of children <6 month in the project locations, ACF is implementing the MAMI Management of At-risk Mothers and Infants approach in Konduga, Nganzai, Machina and Nguru LGAs for the management of small and nutritionally at-risk infants <6 months and their mothers. At every community or health service contact point, each mother infant-pair identified either during post-natal service as the health facility or in the community will undergo a rapid screening assessment. All mother-infant pairs referred for a full assessment will receive a more thorough assessment including IMCI clinical assessment, infant growth and feeding, maternal mental health and wellbeing to identify specific issues to inform the type and level of care needed.
To improve knowledge, attitude and practice of Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women and Girls PBWG, Women of Childbearing Age WCBA and Caregivers of children aged 0-23 months including men/fathers on optimum
MIYCN practices through social and behavioural change communication, ACF and partner is strengthening the mother-to-mother groups and Tom-brown preparation groups which also serves as platforms for peer based psychosocial support, referral information and community resilience building in the catchment areas of the supported HFs. The women targeted under the mothers’ groups receives support to livelihood and agricultural activities.
To strengthen nutrition outcomes during the first 1,000 days of life, hygiene, sanitation and the BabyWASH approach is integrated into both target health facilities and catchment communities. At the community level, the initiative promotes optimal caregiving practices and the use of essential resources to improve household and environmental conditions through hygiene and sanitation sensitization.
ACF and partners are promoting women’s economic empowerment and small-scale agro-ecological vegetable production to improve household income and nutrition. These efforts are integrated with Mother-to-Mother MtM groups, support for caregivers of MAM children, and households with at-risk children under the MAMI approach. Food assistance will further improve mothers’ PBW and U2 children’s nutrition for healthy growth and prevent malnutrition.
Mainstreamed into all results, ACF and partner integrate gender into capacity-building trainings conducted at health facilities, ensuring that communities, volunteers and healthcare personnel are equipped with an understanding of gender norms, challenges, and concerns specific to project locations. This approach will enable them to provide more inclusive and responsive services, addressing the distinct needs of women, men, girls, and boys effectively.
