Nutrition Officer

JOB DESCRIPTION (NUTRITION OFFICER)

Association for Social Transformation and Humanitarians Assistance (ASTHA Nepal), was established on 1996 with the objective to contribute to the socioeconomic transformation of the country for the upliftment of living standard of rural people by enhancing their awareness on socio-economic, cultural and environmental issues through various development programs related to awareness raising, entrepreneurship development, community infrastructure development, environment protection, skill development and sustainable development of natural systems. The rationale behind the inception of ASTHA is the realization that the problems of poverty and rural backwardness cannot be addressed through efforts of the government alone and complementary programs and initiatives should come from the non-governmental sector as well. The basic purpose of ASTHA, therefore, is to work with the poor, Dalits, indigenous, and disadvantaged people, and their organizations/groups at the grassroots level as a mechanism for enhancing their capacity for rural development.

As a Cooperating Partner of the World Food Programme (WFP), ASTHA Nepal will implement the project End Hidden Hunger and Build Climate Resilience for Millions by Pioneering the Nutrition Enrichment of Underutilized Staples with federal, provincial and eight selected local governments of Koshi and Gandaki provinces. The project strengthens national capacity to promote the production, fortification, market linkages and consumption of millet and sorghum. The position will support evidence generation, quality assurance, social and behaviour change, value chain strengthening, community engagement, monitoring and documentation.
