FHI NGO Data Assistant Internships

NHPplus will expand Nutrition Assessment Counselling and Support (NACS) services beyond HIV, offering technical and material support in the roll-out of NACS to include High Impact Nutrition Interventions (HINI). To help achieve this, the activity will engage at national and sub-national levels to create a heightened profile for nutrition and strengthen budgeting, planning and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to allow the GOK to gradually manage nutrition service provision on its own. Commodity management support for vulnerable populations will continue, following PEPFAR Food and Nutrition guidance, and be expanded at national level to reach additional clients.

A critical element of this work will involve coordination with and strengthening of existing USAID/K efforts such as the AIDS, Population and Health Integrated Project plus (APHIAplus) and AMPATH projects working in five geographic areas of Kenya.

The Nutrition & Health Program plus maintains a central database of monthly data service and commodity prescription from over 930 participating sites and commodity delivery details from the SCM partner. The data reports include enrollment and follow up patient details, monthly consumption reports and commodity delivery details. The central database is maintained on a MySQL database platform, with VB.NET as its main user interface, which also supports partial data analysis and validation.

The main objective of the proposed work is to provide data management support to reduce on current backlog of FBP data. The intern will also participate data extraction and data entry as assigned by the supervisor.
