**SCOPE OF WORK**

**TITLE**: Intern - Mainstreaming Gender in Large-Scale Food Fortification (LSFF) Programme
**Number of Positions**: One
**REPORTS TO**:Senior Specialist Gender
**LENGTH /TIMELINE**:3 months
** **(extendable)
EngenderHealth envisions a gender-equal world where all people achieve their sexual and reproductive health and rights. We believe this is essential for ensuring all people can achieve their full potential. To achieve this vision, we implement high-quality, gender-equitable programs that advance sexual and reproductive health and rights.
The ‘Mainstreaming Gender in Large Scale Food Fortification (LSFF) Project’ aims to offer an overarching strategy for integrating gender into large-scale food fortification programs, focusing on programmatic integration of gender across all aspects of the project. It aims to inform the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of LSFF supply-side interventions through a comprehensive gender analysis, and risk assessment with identified stakeholders, build the capacity of the LSFF selected supply chain actors to integrate gender within the LSFF supply chain, and inform and include gender-relevant indicators for supply-side LSFF interventions.

**INTERNSHIP SUMMARY**
The internship is open for students who are in the process of completing or have recently completed a Master’s degree or equivalent course and wish to have exposure to gender and the public health domain. The internship is of three months duration. The interns are expected to work with program staff and assist in various programmatic activities of the project. They will be suitably guided by country office staff.
To build the capacity of the LSFF supply chain actors towards integrating gender within the supply chain, EngenderHealth is in the process of developing contextualized training materials drawn from EngenderHealth’s Gender Youth and Social Inclusion (GYSI) framework, existing gender training resources, and the LSFF gender analysis research findings. The training materials are being converted into Digital Gender Resource Toolkit to train the Gender Master Trainers, who are expected to cascade the training in their respective organizations. The digital training resource package will be in the form of a hybrid mode to conduct offline and online capacity-strengthening exercises. EngenderHealth will support in cascading the gender training as well as refresher training.
EngenderHealth is seeking to engage an intern to provide support in developing the training materials. The training materials are expected to be of high quality, aligning with the current gender discourse, and best practices related to gender mainstreaming strategies and approaches, and most importantly, it should be simple, concise, interactive, and engaging for different categories of audiences in the LSFF supply chain. In addition, the intern is expected to support the planning and execution of a gender sensitization workshop for the partners supporting the LSFF program.
