Save the Children is a leading international organization helping children in need around the world. First established in the UK in 1919, separate national organizations have been set up in more than twenty-eight countries, sharing the aim of improving the lives of children through education, health care and economic opportunities, as well as emergency aid in cases of natural disasters, war and conflict. In Nigeria, Save the Children has been working since 2001. The early focus was on getting children actively involved in shaping the decisions that affect their lives. Today, Save the Children is working in seven federal states - Zamfara, Yobe, Jigawa, Katsina, Kano, Bauchi and Kaduna - focusing on providing basic healthcare and protecting children. We are recruiting suitably qualified candidates to fill the position below: Job Title: Consultant - Translation and Recording of CDGP Key Health Education Messages Location: Abuja Number of days: 7 Background The Child Development Grant Programme (CDGP) is a -six-year DFID funded programme, with Save the Children, AAH and the Government of Nigeria being implemented in a total of 5 LGAs in Zamfara and Jigawa States of Northern Nigeria, where high levels of child stunting is a serious problem. The CDGP aims to address food insecurity and financial barriers to improving nutrition practices and preventing stunting targeting the first “1000 days of life” (pregnant and lactating women and children up to the age of 24 months). The northern states are each characterized as conservative, with a number of cultural dynamics that limit women’s involvement in household and market level decision making and other markers of empowerment. CDGP aims to demonstrate the impacts of cash transfers and a package of nutrition interventions on household food security, improved optimal nutrition practices, in the prevention of childhood stunting. CDGP works closely with government authorities at the State and LGAs level to implement and oversee the programme. An independent mixed-method evaluation of the programme is being carried out by e-Pact, a consortium led by Oxford Policy Management. The evaluation is intended to help understand the impact of the programme on the households and communities it supports and inform State and Federal government social protection programmes.
