Start-Up Consultant for GAIN-Baduta project
Background
Save the Children is currently implementing GAIN-coordinated BADUTA project from 2014-2017. Our project goal is to
contribute
to
reducing
malnutrition
among
infants,
and
young
children
(up
to
24
months)
and
pregnant
women
in
East
Java.
The BADUTA project will focus on working within the formal health
system to build capacity of health
workers to successfully integrate key nutrition messages and services
into delivery of maternal and child health services, both in facilities
and in community outreach by formal health workers. We will support this
with a strong behavior change communication
strategy that draws on experience from other projects and also focus on
training community health workers (kaders
Posyandus).
We will also work to incorporate
key infant and young child feeding (IYCF) good practices and
information into the monthly, community-run Mother's Classes (kelas
ibu) and build the capacity of IYCF
counselors at the community level. We will work with communities and
elected officials on budget development to ensure adequate resource
allocation. These actions will lead to improved nutrition
situation of mothers and young children.
