The World Food Programme (WFP) in Bhutan is seeking a passionate and technical Nutritionist to join its team in the Himalayas.
Bhutan is a global success story in development, famous for its philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH). However, the "triple burden" of malnutrition (undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and obesity) remains a challenge. WFP Bhutan is transitioning from a direct food aid provider to a strategic technical partner for the Royal Government of Bhutan.
We need a Nutrition Expert to lead the next phase of our National School Feeding & Nutrition Programme, ensuring that every child in Bhutan receives a fortified, nutritious meal that fuels their education.
