Dear Potential Bidders,
Nutrition International (NI) is a global organization dedicated to delivering proven nutrition interventions to those who need them most. Working in partnership with countries, donors, and implementers, NI conducts cutting-edge nutrition research, supports critical policy formulation, and integrates nutrition into broader development programs. In more than 60 countries, primarily in Asia and Africa, Nutrition International nourishes people to nourish life.
In Indonesia, Nutrition International (NI) has played a key role in supporting the implementation of Universal Salt Iodization (USI), a national strategy aimed at ensuring that all salt is fortified with iodine to prevent iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Through collaboration with government and local stakeholders, NI has contributed technical expertise, supported regulatory strengthening, and improved the national and subnational monitoring systems. These efforts aim to enhance sustainability and ensure that the salt industry complies with established iodization standards.
Over the years, as part of the USI program, NI introduced and promoted village-level monitoring of iodized salt in Central and East Java. This activity allows empowering local actors to monitor the availability, quality, and use of iodized salt at the community level, while also building awareness among residents. It contributes towards strengthening local leadership and identifying practical and policy-level challenges. In 2024-25, this model was presented to the local governments in the Lumajang district, leading to the establishment of village teams in 13 new villages. Additionally, 24 more villages in Lumajang district have secured village funds to support this effort.
Accordingly, NI intends to hire the services of an individual consultant with expertise in documentation for the village-level monitoring of the salt program by empowering the local community. This document will serve as a knowledge tool, capturing the NI's journey, collaborations, and realignment of strategies over the program period, challenges, learnings, and successes of both the initiatives in Indonesia. Additionally, document how both these initiatives have contributed to addressing micronutrient deficiencies in the country.
