TEAM/PROGRAMME: Health and Nutrition-PDQ TBD (Competitive Package) Post Type: National Child Safeguarding: Level 3 - the responsibilities of the post may require the post holder to have regular contact with or access to children or young people ROLE PURPOSE: Global and national health indicators highlight the need to have a greater focus on health and nutrition wellbeing of school age children and adolescents. School-age children in Ethiopia are affected by a wide range of health and nutrition related problems that constrain their ability to learn, thrive and benefit from education. Some of the common health-related problems being parasitic infections, malaria, anaemia, trachoma, skin diseases, disabilities, injuries, sexual and reproductive ill-health, and psychosocial and substance abuse. Some of the common nutrition-related problems being inadequate food consumption and associated levels of malnutrition as well as iodine and vitamin A deficiency, in most of the Ethiopian regions. Furthermore, there are low awareness levels on the effect of poor health and nutrition on children's ability to learn. To address the needs of health and nutrition of school children, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education have been implementing different round of National School Health and Nutrition Strategies and Save the Children has been one of the major partner supporting the implementation of the strategy.
