GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR IMPROVED NUTRITION JOB VACANCIES 2020

BACKGROUND

Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with both governments and businesses, they aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people. In particular, they aim to make healthier food choices more desirable, more available, and more affordable. GAIN’s mission is to advance nutrition outcomes by improving the consumption of nutritious and safe food for all people, especially the most vulnerable to malnutrition.

Indonesia has a high burden of malnutrition, including micronutrient malnutrition. There are three key strategies to address micronutrient deficiencies i.e.

  • Dietary Diversification
  • Micronutrient Supplementation and
  • Food Fortification.

Food Fortification is the process of adding micronutrients to the foods at the industry level so that it can reach everyone. Salt is one of the main commodities for food fortification, in addition to flour and cooking oil, and has been mandated for over 20 years. However, a national overview of the availability and consumption of iodized salt is not updated. The availability of sufficiently iodized salt is still low (2013: 43%). Poor awareness, processing, procedures, and capacity of salt farmers, small and medium processors who sell salt for consumption is one of the causes. There is also low priority and capacity for monitoring and law enforcement from FDA and districts government.

Other than the commodities mentioned above, rice is one that the government is currently focussing to be fortified with several vitamins and minerals. This is because micronutrient deficiencies still becomes a major public health problem in Indonesia. There are 48% of pregnant women and 28% of children under 5 who are anemic. 20% of pre-school and school-aged children were found to be suffering from subclinical vitamin A deficiency.

Rice is chosen because it is the main staple in Indonesia with a consumption of 569g per capita. As many as 15 million poor households received 15 kg/month subsidized rice. The national government has included fortification as one of the priority interventions to improve availability, access, and quality of food-related to stunting prevention strategy in the National Mid Term Development Plan 2020-2024. However, industrial rice fortification is voluntary and without umbrella and technical policies yet.

Hence, in order to have a better understanding and comprehensive overview, GAIN seeks consultancy services to conduct the landscaping of the food fortification program in Indonesia.
