We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Information Management Officer (Nutrition)

Contract type: Temporary Appointment

Categories: Nutrition
For every child, dedication
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does - in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias, or favoritism.
There is growing evidence that investing in the health, nutrition, education, and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens addressing inequity not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries.
Therefore, the focus on equity is vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
In 2015, Northeast Nigeria Nutrition Sector was established following the recommendation by the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) to adopt the Sector approach. The Nutrition Sector is chaired by the State Primary Health Care Development Agency (SPHCDA) and UNICEF is the Sector Lead Agency. The overall objective of the Nutrition Sector response is to provide integrated preventive and curative services to mitigate a deterioration in the nutrition situation and support recovery for those already malnourished. UNICEF scaled up comprehensive nutrition program in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states since 2017 in collaboration with government and partners.
Preventive, promotive, and curative nutrition services are designed based on local context to ensure availability and access to life-saving nutrition services in host communities, IDP camps and hard to reach areas through integration of nutrition services in functional health facilities, deployment of out-reach team in IDP camps and mobile nutrition team in hard-to-reach areas. UNICEF has set up a nutrition surveillance system in Northeast Nigeria and co-chairs the assessment and information management technical working group (AIM TWG).
