National Consultant: Strengthening Nutrition Education through the Nutrition School Ambassadors (NUSA) Initiative, Pretoria, South Africa (Remote)

UNICEF

location_on Pretoria schedule Full–time

UNICEF South Africa's Health and Nutrition Outcome: Girls and boys, including the most deprived, receive an integrated package of quality and equitable maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH), HIV/AIDS, and nutrition care and services.The Health and Nutrition section has 3 outputs, and this consultancy supports Outputs 2 and 3 under the key interventions: • Support the implementation of the Blueprint for improving the South African school Food environment • Empower young people and learners to advocate for improved food environment in schools and institutions of higher learning NCD prevention and modifiable risk factors, including overweight and obesity Since 2022, UNICEF South Africa has supported government efforts to improve the food environment through youth-led advocacy and social and behavior change communication campaigns under the banner My Body, My Health: My Wealth. This initiative reached over 3 million youth aged 15-24 years between 2022 and 2024 with messages on the prevention of obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), while empowering young people to become agents of change in addressing food system challenges and advocating for relevant policies. In 2024, the third phase of this campaign introduced the youth-led Fix My Food movement, aimed at transforming the food system through policy advocacy. This included the support for the implementation of draft regulations on food labelling and advertising, and the efforts to improve campus food environments. Furthermore, in partnership with the Department of Basic Education (DBE), UNICEF also supported the development of the Blueprint for Improving the South African School Food Environment (2021). This collaboration led to an 18-month, two-phase pilot in six public schools in the iLembe district of KwaZulu-Natal. One of the key insights from this pilot was the establishment of Nutrition School ambassadors to make learners agents of change for their own school food environment. The 2025 United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Child Nutrition Report highlights this concerning trend, indicating that the prevalence of overweight among South African children aged 5-19 years increased from 9% in 2000 to 21% in 2022, surpassing underweight as the most common form of malnutrition. Consequently, approximately 18.8 million school-aged children and adolescents are now at heightened risk of developing life-threatening NCDs, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive and sustained action. This indicates that despite the efforts of the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP), sustainable behavior change remains limited. This is largely due to inconsistent and poorly integrated nutrition education, as well as low learner engagement. One-off campaigns have proven insufficient in addressing the deeper behavioral and environmental factors that contribute to poor nutrition. To bridge these gaps, the DBE, in collaboration with UNICEF through the NSNP’s Nutrition Education (NE) pillar, aims to establish the Nutrition School Ambassadors (NUSA) initiative. This initiative aims to complement and strengthen exciting nutrition education through promoting peer-led approaches that empower learners to become active agents of change for their own school food environment. The initiative will complement current nutrition education, which is included in life orientation and related subjects, with nutrition content as part of the DBE’s Curriculum and Policy Statements (CAPS) through peer-led initiatives, making learners active agents of change rather than passive recipients of information; and to further empower learners with the knowledge, skills and confidence to advocate for and demand healthy food environment policies in their schools and communities. The NUSA initiative will be integrated under the Care and Support for Teaching and Learning's (CSTL) Nutritional Support pillar through the establishment of a “NUSA School Club” as a sub-committee within the Representative Council of Learners (RCL). It is against this background that a consultant is required to support the establishment of the NUSA initiative in support of the DBEs National School Nutrition Programme. The focus would be on advancing competency-based food and nutrition education and facilitating youth-led policy advocacy to promote healthier school food environments. For every child, the right to NUTRITION. How can you make a difference? Under the supervision of the Nutrition Manager from the Health and Nutrition Section, the consultant will provide technical support to DBE in enhancing learners’ knowledge, skills, and advocacy capacity through participatory, curriculum-linked nutrition education, enabling them to critically engage with their own dietary behavior and that of their peers. Furthermore, the consultant will develop toolkits for the NUSA initiative to empower learners to advocate for healthier school food environments by engaging with School Governing Bodies, School Management Teams, and food vendors to promote and enforce policies that ensure the availability and affordability of nutritious options in and around schools. Activities • Write and submit an inception report outlining the methodology, workplan, timeline, and package materials to be developed. • Review existing nutrition education materials, training package, and guidebook targeted at learners and educators.

UNICEF is committed to promote the protection and safeguarding of all children. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks, and will be expected to adhere to these standards and principles. Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check, and selected candidates with disabilities may be requested to submit supporting documentation in relation to their disability confidentially. UNICEF appointments are subject to medical clearance.  Appointments may also be subject to inoculation (vaccination) requirements, including against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid).

Government employees who are considered for employment with UNICEF are normally required to resign from their government positions before taking up an assignment with UNICEF. UNICEF reserves the right to withdraw an offer of appointment, without compensation, if a visa or medical clearance is not obtained, or necessary inoculation requirements are not met, within a reasonable period for any reason. UNICEF does not charge a processing fee at any stage of its recruitment, selection, and hiring processes (i.e., application stage, interview stage, validation stage, or appointment and training). UNICEF will not ask for applicants’ bank account information. Humanitarian action is a cross-cutting priority within UNICEF’s Strategic Plan.
