2.1 NI aims to generate innovative and sustainable solutions to reduce vitamin and mineral
deficiencies among women, newborns, and children. It builds on robust evidence-based
research and evaluation in order to demonstrate excellent return on investment of scaling-
up highly cost-effective micronutrient interventions. NI aspires to be a global center of
excellence in technical and programmatic support in this field.
In collaboration with key stakeholders such as governments, private sectors and civil
society groups, NI seeks to tackle the aforementioned problems that affects one third of
the world’s population. NI engages in tailoring health and nutrition strategies as well as up-
scaling existing program in various regions in the globe including Africa, Asia, the
Caribbean, Latin America and the Middle East. NI’s international Board of Directors directs
its interventions that reach approximately 500 million people in more than 70 countries.
One of NI’s key strategic goals is to enhance the global impact of micronutrient
interventions by generating cutting-edge knowledge and utilizing it to develop sound
policies and programs while consolidating political will to achieve its vision. NI aspires to
position itself as a global center of excellence in generating scientific research in the field
of micronutrient programs. It provides quality assurance for research and programs while
disseminating and translating new knowledge to influence and improve national and global
policies and programs. NI provides guidance and support on existing and future program
evaluations and coordinates the analysis and utilization of evaluation activity results.
The prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (15-24
years) at national level is 18.4% (RISKESDAS, 2013). However, the data from screening
of junior-high school children in Cimahi and Bandung districts in 2013 showed the
prevalence of anemia among adolescents in a range of 40-50% (DHO, Cimahi, 2013). This
number is similar to the results of the Nutrition International (NI) baseline survey, which
shows anemia prevalence in Cimahi and Purwakarta is approximately 51%. Despite the
availability of national guidelines from the MOH, the Weekly Iron Folic Acid
supplementation (WIFAS) program for adolescent girls has not been implemented as
envisaged.

TERMS OF REFERENCE
Capacity Building Activities for Key Stakeholders on the Weekly Iron Folic Acid
Supplementation (WIFAS) Program for School-Going Adolescent Girls in East Java and
East Nusa Tenggara
1. Background
The prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (15-24 years) at
national level is 18.4% (RISKESDAS, 2013). However, the data from screening of junior-high school
children in Cimahi and Bandung districts in 2013 showed the prevalence of anemia among
adolescents in a range of 40-50% (DHO, Cimahi, 2013). This number is similar to the results of the
Nutrition International (NI) baseline survey, which shows anemia prevalence in Cimahi and
Purwakarta is approximately 51%. Despite the availability of national guidelines from the MOH, the
Weekly Iron Folic Acid supplementation (WIFAS) program for adolescent girls has not been
implemented as envisaged.
NI is supporting the Government of Indonesia in the prevention and reduction of Iron Deficiency
Anemia (IDA) among school-going adolescent girls.
To support program delivery, NI will undertake trainings at two levels: (1) Training for Trainers (ToT)
for provincial stakeholders, and (2) training sessions for district stakeholders in East Java and East
Nusa Tenggara.
NI therefore seeks an Event Organizer (EO) to facilitate the trainings at provincial and district levels,
on the WIFAS program, and on issues that affect adolescents’ nutrition and health.
2. Objectives
The objective is to support NI in the implementation of the WIFAS program among school-going
adolescent girls by facilitating the following activities:
TOT and training sessions will include sessions based on modified training module (detailed training
content is available in the training curriculum and module), which are:

RFP No: 1833-XX
3. Expected Output
Successful facilitation by the EO of the ToT for province stakeholders and training sessions for
district stakeholders for East Java and East Nusa Tenggara.
Training participants are expected to gain the following competences (detailed competences is
available in the training curriculum and module):
4. Scope of Work
The ToT is aimed at providing a basic introduction to developing and implementing adolescent
nutrition program with focus on the WIFAS program, supported by the Government of Indonesia.
The ToT will elaborate on the most important components of adolescent WIFAS program.
Accordingly, ToT will focus on forecasting, reporting and recording of WIFAS, its benefits, dosage
and administration, counseling of adolescent girls on the WIFAS program, improving dietary
practices, the importance of hygiene and sanitation practices, and monitoring and supervision. The
training module that will be used for the ToT has already been developed and modified by NI and
MoH. The ToT will take 4 days excluding the travel days.
The ToT will involve approximately 22 participants from East Java and East Nusa Tenggara
provinces, including representatives from Ministry of Health, Provincial Health Office, Education
Office, Religious Office, Social Welfare, Widya Iswara, and NI Provincial and District Coordinators.
Resource persons from Ministries of Health, will be invited, as well as trained facilitators from the
demonstration districts.
NutritionIntl.org

RFP No: 1833-XX
Following the completion of ToT, the trainers will cascade the training to the district officers from
health, education, religion, and local government at district offices. They are expected to gain the
understanding and skills required to enable them to manage the program at district level.
In addition to covering all aspects of the training module, there will be sessions where participants
will be trained on the use of interactive techniques to deliver content, such as role play. Follow up
plan and open discussion for feedback from training participants will be held during the training
sessions. Pre and post-test will be conducted for measuring changes in participants’ level of
understanding. The training sessions for district officers will be done in 3.5-4 days excluding the
travel days.
There will be two training sessions with 100 total participants. From each district, there will be 5
persons invited (District Health Office, Education Office, Religious Office, Social Welfare), which
involve approximately 50 participants from 10 districts in East Java and 50 participants for 10
districts in East Nusa Tenggara. The trainers will be the provincial stakeholders that have been
trained along with NI Province and District Coordinator. See table below for detail training plan:
