// Job Background The  Feed the Future Ethiopia Growth through Nutrition Activity  is a five-year award from USAID/Ethiopia to Save the Children and their local and international partners, to provide ongoing assistance to the Government of Ethiopia (GOE) to strengthen the institutional and policy environment, develop its human resources for nutrition, and implement strategies that address poverty and food security and social and behavioral barriers to optimal nutrition. The project implements maternal, infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) programming that focuses on the first 1000 days through nutrition-sensitive agriculture extension activities, health, nutrition and social and behavior change communication (SBCC) activities. Tufts University has partnered with Save the Children on the Growth through Nutrition activity to lead the learning agenda component of the project, which is designed to provide evidence on operational research questions on an on-going, timely basis and inform national health, nutrition, sanitation and agricultural policy. Within this large-scale multisectoral project, the SBCC messages are distributed via communication materials (print and other media) and enhanced community conversations (ECCs) that promote the adoption of nutrition-related skills, behaviors and gender transformative roles, help people make positive changes within the contexts of their household and family environments, and use more interactive methods and activities to help adults learn. The project is thus implemented by directly giving attention to bringing about changes in the lives of the community through desired nutrition, WASH and livelihood behaviors at household level to achieve a reduction of stunting by 20% at the end of the project (2021). The primary target audiences for the SBCC program are pregnant and lactating women (mothers of children under 2 years old), husbands of pregnant and lactating women/fathers of children under two years of age, and grandmothers of children under two years of age.
