1 UNICEF Nepal Country Office (NCO) Terms of Reference National Consultancy for National Integrated Micronutrients Guideline Development and updating training package on Micronutrients (Vitamin A Deficiency, Iron Deficiency Anemia, Iodine Deficiency Disorders, and Zinc in management of diarrhoea) Duty Station: Kathmandu 1. Background and Justification for Consultant / Individual Contractor Contract Nepal is on the verge of meeting all micronutrient goal. In last 21 years, more than 90% children (out of 2.4 million children age 6-59 months) consistently received biannual vitamin A supplements while 80% of children months have been de-wormed twice yearly since 2001; as a result Vitamin A deficiency is expected to be no more a public health problem at sub-clinical level. Similarly, household use of adequately iodized salt ( 15 ppm iodine) reached to 80% with improvement of Median Urinary Iodine Excretion up to 188 µg/ Liter in the population. Also, there is around 80% pregnant women in Nepal who are accessing Iron Folic Acid tablet with 58% compliance (90+ days) on its use; as a result the anemia prevalence has gone down to 48% in Besides, Nepal is moving with new micronutrient initiative such as Multi Micronutrient Supplementation to Children age 6-23 months to address the high level of anemia, ~70%, in this age group. Other dietary measures to promote micronutrient rich foods under the multi sector nutrition plan (MSNP) is in the process of implementation in more than 65 districts of Nepal with the support from UNICEF and other key development partners. However, there still remains policy gaps related to consolidated guideline on micronutrient supplementation for the reference of policy makers, program implementers, program managers, field workers and community volunteers, which is required for the further sustaining of the program. In addition, UNICEF is supporting Nepal Government to roll out the Multi Sector Nutrition Plan in 20 districts during the period from 2013 to 2017 with funding from the European Union. Micronutrient Promotion is one of the key nutrition actions included in the MSNP, using both complementary approaches of: micronutrient supplementation; and food-based approach involving support on production and consumption of micronutrient rich or diverse foods. It requires to develop a consolidated training package on the micronutrient from the health sector in order to include this into the health sector component of the MSNP training package, or MIYCN package, which is focusing on the first 1,000 days of life. In this regard, Child Health Division, MoHP is seeking for UNICEF s technical and financial assistance to develop the National Guideline on Micronutrients Deficiency Control and Health Sector Training Manual on Micronutrients, as central core component of the MIYCN package, as per the signed CPAP between UNICEF and Nepal Government and the approved 30 months rolling work plan. UNICEF Nepal entered into the 30 months rolling plan with DoHS/MoHP on 18 April, 2013 in order to provide technical and coordination support to the Nepal Government in piloting, maintaining/sustaining and scale up national micronutrient initiatives implement priority action on nutrition. One of the key activity underscored in the 30 months rolling plan is to maintain and strengthen national micronutrient program, which requires National Guideline on Micronutrients Deficiency Control for the intended users. Development of the National Micronutrients Guideline also requires an extensive knowledge and experience on Nepal s micronutrient program, followed by the skill of program documentation. Finally, development of these materials require a thorough understanding of the micronutrients situation and their key determining factors across the country, disaggregated
2 by gender and ethnicity and social and economic factors. To this end, UNICEF aims to strengthen the national level knowledge management and information system related to micronutrients by establishing a central repository of all the existing data and literature on this important topic. At this moment, UNICEF Nepal is supporting National Planning Commission to implement MSNP, where all three officers in the section, two nutrition specialist and one nutrition officer, are fully engaged with the NPC, Key Ministries and Central Bureau of Statistics. In addition, Nutrition officer in the section is also directly involved in activities related to donor proposal drafting, micronutrient program design and implementation and other supply planning related to nutrition. Similarly, Nutrition Section of Child Health Division has only two nutrition officers, having expertise in nutrition and data handling related to nutrition program. These two officers have to oversee the many nutrition programs that Nepal is implementing within the policy framework and concept of Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) with a focus on the first 1000 days of life; Nepal is one of 51 early SUN riser countries. They are required thus to undertake frequent field travels to various part of country as well as to prepare for and facilitate nutrition review and monitoring meetings involving key stakeholders; thus, they have no time to work in concentration to develop the National Micronutrients Guideline and Health Sector Training Manual on Micronutrients, which will then be included in the comprehensive MIYCN package of the MoHP. Given that neither the UNICEF officers nor the Child Health Division officers can fully commit their time to draft the guideline and training package, external technical assistant to CHD is sought by the Nutrition Section of Child Health Division. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to acquire the support of an external consultant to support drafting and finalizing process of the above documents. A request letter in this regard is received from Child Health Division on date Goal / Objective - Programme Group Result/Intermediate Result (PCR/IR) relevance The basic purpose of the consultancy is to provide technical assistance and coordination support in developing national micronutrients guideline, health sector training package on the micronutrients deficiency control and establishing central hub of health sector database at Nutrition Section Child Health Division. The proposed consultancy will contribute in PCR 2, IR 2.2 and activity of 30 months rolling plan. The PCR 2 states, By 2017, in selected areas (the most disadvantaged districts and municipalities), social sector systems are providing integrated, quality services to fulfill the survival, development, protection and participation rights of children, adolescents and women with equity in all contexts, including humanitarian situations. Similarly, IR 2.2 states By 2017, access to and utilization of essential nutrition services increased targeting newborn, infant, young children, adolescents, pregnant and lactating women, including those with disabilities and HIV. The activity under the IR states, Technical and coordination support to maintain and strengthen national micronutrient programs (VAD, IDD, IDA, and zinc in management of diarrhea). The proposed activity is relevant to the PCR 2, IR 2.2 and activity plan since it contributes in the maintaining and strengthening national micronutrient program by providing technical guidelines on micronutrient supplementation, training material for micronutrients and establishing the central database hub on micronutrients for providing further data input on the multi sector nutrition plan and action. 3.
