**Duty Station**: Panama City
**Level**: Consultancy
**Location**: Panama
**Categories**: Health, Nutrition, Health and Nutrition
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

**For every child, hope, love and care**
Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions with the highest rates of overweight and obesity in the world. The 2023 Thematic Report on-Childhood Overweight in LAC showed that this condition affects more than four million children under five years of age and almost 50 million children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years.
Childhood overweight and obesity impacts children ́s immediate physical and emotional well-being; increases the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) later in life; and carries heavy societal and economic consequences for the individual, families and their communities.
The UNICEF Nutrition Strategy (2020-2030) recognizes the role of five systems, namely food, health, education, social protection and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), as well as social norms, in preventing all forms of childhood malnutrition, including overweight.
UNICEF LACRO has been engaged in overweight and obesity prevention work since 2016 by developing and implementing strategies, policies and tailored interventions. In the previous years, UNICEF LACRO published two thematic reports (2021,2023) describing the general situation of childhood overweight in LAC and UNICEF’s approach and vision for preventing it.
To draw attention to the status of the problem of child overweight in the region and the knowledge and experiences generated at national and regional levels and the required actions to change the situation, UNICEF is seeking an individual consultant who coordinates the development of a third edition of the regional thematic report on overweight prevention. The envisaged audiences include governments, civil society, academia, UN agencies, UNICEF Country Offices in LAC and other regions as well as current and prospective donors.
**How can you make a difference?**
Under the supervision of the Regional Nutrition Specialist and in close collaboration with the Food Systems Specialist and communications as relevant, the consultant will develop a regional thematic report on the most up-to-date information on childhood overweight, review the progress made in relation to policies and strategies for its prevention of childhood overweight, and highlighting illustrative examples of UNICEF’s work in this area.
**Key Activities/s**
- The individual contractor will prepare a comprehensive report, a summary report and a presentation in PowerPoint on overweight and obesity in Latin America and the Caribbean. The elaboration of these products will include the following activities:
