JOB TITLE: Project coordinator for large-scale food fortification initiatives, Consultant Level II
TYPE OF CONTRACT: Regular Consultant
UNIT/DIVISION: Regional Bureau Bangkok, Nutrition Unit
DUTY STATION: Bangkok, Thailand
DURATION: 11 months

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
Globally, more than 2 billion people are affected by micronutrient deficiencies. Asia contributes to a significant burden of micronutrient deficiencies, where one in two women of reproductive age are anaemic1.
In both South Asia and Southeast Asia, the prevalence of all forms of malnutrition - undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight, obesity, and associated non-communicable diseases - is still high, with 32.6 million children under five years of age wasted, 78.2 million stunted, and 17.2 million overweight. Obesity affects 231 million adults aged 18 and older, and 419 million women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in the region were anaemic in 2019. Fifty percent of children under five years of age in South Asia are not growing well (either wasted, stunted, or overweight), and 17 percent of children in East Asia and the Pacific suffer from the same fate2.
A large proportion of the population consumes rice and wheat flour as a predominant staple food and lacks dietary diversity, making the region's diets nutritionally inadequate. This is visible in the dietary pattern of children wherein only 14 percent of children aged 6-23 months in South Asia and 41 percent in Southeast Asia achieve a minimum acceptable diet (MAD).
In this context, ensuring the availability, accessibility, affordability, and safety of nutritious foods has become critical in preventing and controlling micronutrient deficiencies. Large-scale food fortification (LSFF)3 helps hundreds of millions of people access essential nutrients early in their lives without changing their food habits and helps them reach their full socio-economic potential.
WFP has been actively involved in large-scale food fortification efforts across Asia and the Pacific for the past fifteen years. Advancing rice fortification has been the primary focus in the region, as rice is the staple for most of Asia's population, including its 560 million poor people4. Despite substantial progress in advancing LSFF in the region, many countries have not yet achieved the full potential of their program outreach, and half the countries in the area do not have legally notified food fortification standards for staples such as rice. There are multiple reasons for the slow progress in advancing LSFF, which include the absence of a robust regulatory environment and production technologies for rice/wheat flour fortification, limited private and public sector capacity (both institutional and individual), weak and fragmented food systems, lack of consumer awareness, inadequate quality assurance and quality control systems, limited coverage of social protection programs (in some countries) and insufficient or lack of public financing for LSFF programs.

Given the dynamic environments, where a range of factors and actors interconnect and evolve, building robust technical capacities is crucial for implementing sustainable and effective fortification strategies. The WFP-Regional Large-Scale Food Fortification (LSFF) Strategy for Asia and the Pacific (2024-2029) presents a focused plan to address malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies in a region where these issue
