The Nutrition in Emergencies (NiE) Consultant will support the National Department of Health (NDOH), UNICEF, and
nutrition partners to prepare for and respond to the nutrition consequences of the El Niño-induced drought. The consultant
will strengthen nutrition sector coordination, emergency preparedness and contingency planning, nutrition surveillance and
early warning systems, partner capacity, and the delivery of nutrition services and supplies to affected populations. In
addition, the consultant will support the preparation of the national nutrition survey and strengthen national and
subnational capacity for the prevention, detection, and management of acute malnutrition among children. Overall, the
consultant will facilitate a timely, evidence-based, and coordinated nutrition response aimed at preventing and treating
acute malnutrition while safeguarding essential nutrition services during the Elnino driven drought emergency.
La consultoría desarrollará herramientas tecnológicas complementarias al Sistema de Información Gerencial en Salud (SIGSA) de Guatemala para fortalecer el monitoreo de la ventana de oportunidad de los primeros mil días de vida. Estas herramientas aprovecharán datos disponibles a nivel local para reconstruir trayectorias individuales y superar las limitaciones derivadas de la consolidación de datos por eventos.
El objetivo es generar alertas automatizadas el mismo día de la carga de información, permitiendo a los equipos de salud actuar de manera oportuna en áreas clave como vacunación, monitoreo del crecimiento, suplementación nutricional e identidad. Con ello, se busca fortalecer la toma de decisiones basada en datos y mejorar la atención de niños y niñas en etapas críticas de desarrollo.
