Technical Assistance to Develop MS Projects Digital Solution

NOTE: This is a consultancy position. Please refer to the Terms of Reference for more information.

Nutrition International (NI) is a global nutrition organization headquartered in Ottawa, Canada. For 30 years, we have focused on delivering low-cost, high-impact, nutrition interventions to people in need. Working alongside governments as an expert ally, we combine deep technical expertise with a flexible approach, increasing impact without increasing complexity or cost.

NI has numerous promising examples of the use of digital technology for routine data collection, analysis, and reporting under implementation at field level, but the scale up or replication of these systems is limited using non-standardized and unconnected platforms due to lack of an overall NI digital health strategy & plan. In areas where digital solutions have not been used, there remains a heavy reliance on the use of Microsoft Excel and Word-based reports either uploaded on SharePoint or exchanged over email.
