Nutrition Action for Systemic Change

The FCDO is scoping options for a new Nutrition and Food Systems Technical Assistance Facility to provide technical assistance (TA) to support the design and development of FCDO programming and policy, and to facilitate UK nutrition policy and programming objectives. TA will be provided primarily to FCDO's central and country teams, but also to LMIC governments (particularly EPD focus countries, food crisis-affected countries, and countries with a high burden of malnutrition) and other organisations (e.g. multilaterals, development finance institutions, civil society organisations, global platforms like the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement or UN Food Systems Coalitions) in support of FCDO programme and policy objectives and where FCDO requires independent advice or inputs into new and innovative thinking and products and rapid provision of technical teams to deliver specific requirements where there is a time-sensitive need (for instance to respond to food crises in the horn of Africa).

The contract is for 12 months that will support FCDO nutrition team to build the case for the main nutrition tender.
