CHAI has decided to launch nutrition programs in several Africa countries, Ethiopia being one. This is a multi-sectoral and multi-dimensional program to address chronic malnutrition. To this end, CHAI is partnering with various Government Agencies including Ministries of Health, Agriculture and Industry to establish programs that fill dietary gaps during early development: improving the nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women; encouraging exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life; and promoting nutrient-dense complementary foods, alongside continued breastfeeding, for children from six months to two years of age. Since most households lack year-round access to sufficiently nutritious foods, CHAI is working with governments and private partners to develop a suite of nutritious products for infants and young children and for pregnant and lactating women that is produced locally, based primarily on local agricultural products, and aligned with local eating habits. To ensure sustainability, complementary nutritious foods will be produced affordably and promote the economic development of rural populations, where livelihoods rely heavily on smallholder farming.
JOB SUMMARY:
CHAI is seeking an experienced supply/distribution chain professional to provide technical support to Nutrition Program and will be responsible for undertaking rapid assessments of existing supply/distribution chain systems, with a view towards evaluating their capacity for absorption nutrition products; developing detailed implementation plans and budgets for supply chain improvements needed to ensure the nutritious products reach the last mile; and providing technical support for the full implementation of supply chain strengthening plans. The distribution mechanism is expected to utilize both public and private sector networks currently available as well as emerging ones.
