Role Purpose:
Infants and young children under the age of two are at the highest risks of morbidity and mortality in emergencies. Interventions to support protective behaviours related to Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) are increasingly prioritized in emergencies, yet the coverage and quality remain variable. The availability of global standards and tools is growing along with capacity to deliver these interventions, however questions arise as to whether these tools are reaching those best able to use them. To this end, Save the Children is committed to focus on the development, maintenance and dissemination of tools in Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition in Emergencies (MIYCN-E), including the IYCF-E Hub, IYCF-E Toolkit, IYCF-E Curriculum, MAMI Orientation and Training Package and MAMI Tools among many others.
The purpose of this role is to manage Save the Children’s MIYCN-E knowledge management platforms and tools. This includes curating content, maintaining and improving knowledge management platforms, and facilitating effective communication and dissemination of tools. The aim is to improve the availability and accessibility of these resources and promote their utilization among practitioners for whom, they are designed.
