Persistent nutrient gaps, rising food prices, and constrained household purchasing power continue to limit access to healthy and sustainable diets, particularly for vulnerable populations. Operating in more than 80 countries, WFP supports both emergency response and national systems to improve access to healthy, nutritious diets in women, children and the population at large. A key part of this work is the generation and use of data on food and nutrition security, dietary diversity and access to nutritious foods and nutritious diets, including food costs and expenditure to identify risks and inform nutrition interventions. A core pillar of this work is WFP’s analytical platform Enhance, developed in partnership with the Zero Hunger Lab at Tilburg University, Capgemini, and Johns Hopkins University. Using multi‑objective optimisation, Enhance assesses the cost and affordability of diets that meet nutritional, economic, and environmental objectives, and supports scenario and intervention modelling to inform evidence‑based decision‑making. /p pEvidence generated through analytics plays a critical role in shaping nutrition-sensitive policies, programmes and advocacy across food systems, education, and social protection. Robust standardised analytical approaches can support effective programme design, appropriate cash transfer value setting, and the nutritional adequacy of assistance across diverse food environments. WFP supports governments to conduct analysis on the cost and affordability of nutritious diets and supports stakeholders in identifying solutions to nutrient gaps through policy and programme design. In particular, WFP increasingly contributes to strengthening national capacity in nutrition analytics and evidence‑based decision‑making. /p pThe Nutrition, School Meals and Social Protection Service seeks a consultant to join the multidisciplinary Systems Analysis for Nutrition team.

The consultant will strengthen the capacity of government counterparts to undertake Fill the Nutrient Gap analysis, Sustainable Healthy Diet analyses and related cost and affordability assessments and support the translation of analytical findings into programme design, transfer value design, and policy‑relevant decision‑support products. The role will also contribute to the ongoing development, refinement, and institutionalisation of WFP’s analytical tools and processes, including the Enhance platform, ensuring analytical rigour, consistency, and quality across varied country contexts. /p h3ACCOUNTABILITIES/RESPONSIBILITIES: /h3 h3Assessment of market-based nutrition interventions and local food solutions /h3 ul liReview of data related to household food expenditure, dietary intake, market functionality, food prices, locally produced complementary foods, Specially Formulated Foods and other local food solutions. /li liAnalysis of the feasibility of meeting nutrition need of moderate acute malnourished children and children at risk of malnutrition /li liAssessment of the nutritional adequacy of cash-based transfer for nutrition, local food solutions and recipes /li /ul h3Strengthen capacity and application of Enhance analysis /h3 ul liContribute to the development and tailoring of training on cost and affordability analysis and intervention modelling using Enhance /li liSupport training of WFP Country Offices and government counterparts on cost and affordability analysis and intervention modelling using Enhance /li liSupport trainings of enumerators for primary data collection of food prices /li liSupport WFP Country Offices and government counterparts to set up cost and affordability monitoring to inform early warning and anticipatory action systems and adaptation to programme response /li liSupport documentation and development of guidance as needed /li /ul h3Cost and affordability of healthy and sustainable diets; Fill the Nutrient Gap, Sustainable Healthy Diet analysis and CO tailored modelling /h3 ul liSupport secondary data reviews and synthesis on nutrition, dietary intake, food security, food prices, household income and expenditure, and socio‑economic indicators to inform WFP programme design, Fill the Nutrient Gap (FNG), and Sustainable Healthy Diet analyses. /li liProvide technical support to WFP Country Offices and national stakeholders on cost and affordability analyses, ensuring alignment with WFP priorities, FNG objectives, and sustainable healthy diets frameworks. /li liSupport the identification, assessment, and modelling of intervention options across strategies, delivery modalities, and transfer values, informed by WFP analytical tools and evidence. /li liContribute to the preparation and facilitation of country‑level FNG and Sustainable Healthy Diet processes, including inception, validation, and dissemination of findings. /li liSupport the development of decision‑support and advocacy products, including key messages, slides, briefs, and reports, translating analytical findings into actionable programme and policy recommendations. /li liPrepare topic briefs and ad hoc nutrition analytics in response to internal WFP needs and external stakeholder requests. /li /ul h3DELIVERABLES AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT: /h3 h3Market‑Based Nutrition Interventions and Local Food Solutions /h3 ul liContext‑specific analyses assessing the feasibility of meeting the nutritional needs of children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and children at risk of malnutrition through market‑based approaches, cash‑based transfers, and local food solutions. /li liTechnical assessments on the nutritional adequacy of cash‑based transfers for nutrition, locally available foods, and recipes, with clear implications for programme design and transfer value setting. /li /ul h3Strengthened Capacity and Application of Enhance Analysis /h3 ul liTailored training materials and delivery of capacity‑strengthening activities for WFP Country Offices, government counterparts, and enumerators on cost and affordability analysis, intervention modelling, and food price data collection using the Enhance platform.
