Specialized Consultant – Health and Nutrition - INTERSOS

INTERSOS Overview:

INTERSOS is one of the world’s leading humanitarian relief and development organizations. Founded in 1992 in response to the Somali civil war and the severe drought conditions affecting the Horn of Africa, INTERSOS has since then grown in both size and status, acquiring further competencies and the skills necessary to meet most vulnerable people’s needs. Since 1992 INTERSOS carried out humanitarian aid projects in 45 countries and four continents. We currently provide first aid, food, shelter, medical assistance and basic goods. We ensure that basic needs such as education, access to clean water and health assistance, are met. The centrality of human being is, indeed, the key principle underpinning all INTERSOS’ values and interventions. It underlines the importance of the principles of equality, justice, peace, solidarity and the duty of every human being to help all those in need or distress, without influence of any kind.

Health and Nutrition:

The Specialized Consultant will be working within the framework of two synchronized projects INTERSOS’ Libya and Tunisia mission is going to implement in Tripoli.

The first project, through a specific health focus, is dedicated to alleviating the suffering of vulnerable refugees, IDPs, migrants and host communities in Tripoli. Particular attention is paid to vulnerable children and unaccompanied and separated children, through the facilitation in access to primary health care, NFIs distribution and protection services. Community engagement and awareness raising activities on protection, healthy nutrition, health, hygiene and sanitation will be conducted in migrants’ schools and INTERSOS’ Baity Center

The second project, through a specific focus on nutrition, is dedicated to improving non-Libyan children’s access to food in times of crisis, to enhance their diets and their awareness on healthy varied food through dedicated awareness activities. At the same time, the project aims at strengthening livelihood sources by engaging local Libyan and non-Libyan kitchens in the preparation of healthy meals to be distributed in the migrants’ schools and INTERSOS’ Baity Center. The members of these kitchens, together with the schools’ staff, will also benefit from awareness raising activities on healthy food.
