About the project:

Study Objective: To increase the evidence base in each country context, in both rural and urban/peri-urban settings in PNG, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu on the impacts of climate change on nutrition and food security of girls and boys from 0-5 years, including unborn children, (and their caretakers/families)

A place to make a difference:

Save the Children is seeking a consultant/s to design and conduct a study on the likely and anticipated impacts of climate change on nutrition outcomes for children 0-5 years in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. The findings and recommendations from the study are expected to contribute to a broader evidence base for actors working on food security and nutrition in the Pacific region and to directly inform Save the Children’s nutrition and climate change programming in the design of new interventions.

In this consulting assignment the indicative study questions are: 

·         How does climate change impact the nutritional vulnerability of target groups (focus on women and children under 5 in both remote/rural communities as well as in urban/peri-urban areas) in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu?

·         What relevant policies and programs are in place including those that address the intersection between climate change and nutrition of children under 5 in both remote/rural and/or urban/peri-urban communities in each country and what is the existing learning/evidence in Melanesia and in other relevant contexts internationally?

·         Are there other significant factors impacting under-5 nutrition status and how are these inter-connected with climate change? What are the implications of these additional factors for programming in these locations?

·         What are the programming recommendations for the work of Save the Children and other key actors at a regional (Melanesia) and country level for addressing the nutritional vulnerability of children from 0-5 years, through both climate change and health/nutrition interventions, with a focus on alignment of under 5 nutrition to complement larger scale climate change programs. Note: This could include geographic targeting, community selection and types of programing approaches eg. sustainable investments for community resilience.

For detailed information, the full Terms of Reference are available here.
