Announcement Description

The Cambodia Nutrition Project (CNP), with a total financing of $53.00M from June 2019-June 2024, is a multi-sectoral project which aims to improve utilization and quality of priority maternal and child health and nutrition services for targeted groups in Cambodia. The project will finance ‘priority maternal and child health and nutrition

services’, a subset of interventions drawn from the MOH Investment Case for Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH-N) in Cambodia. These priority services are aimed at reducing neonatal mortality, improving maternal and child nutrition, and improving routine immunization coverage (referred to herein as ‘priority RMNCAH-N outcomes’). The priority services were defined in accordance with the expectation of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to converge interventions with known effectiveness to increase sustainability and efficiency of RMNCAH-N financing. Target groups include pregnant and lactating women and children in the first 1,000 days of life in Mondul Kiri, Ratanak Kiri, Kratie, Stung Treng, Preah Vihear, Kampong Chhnang, and Koh Kong provinces. These seven provinces were prioritized in the RMNCAH-N Investment Case due to their high burden (in absolute and relative terms) of lagging health outcomes, their relatively high deprivation using multidimensional poverty indicators, and their gaps in supply-side service readiness.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) is recruiting the following Individual National Consultant to carry out and assist the MOH in implementing the Cambodia Nutrition Project (CNP):
