BACKGROUND & PURPOSE
iDE is a non-profit international organization with over 40 years of experience, dedicated to powering entrepreneurs to end poverty through market-based programs. Active in Cambodia since 1994, iDE Cambodia focuses on agriculture, climate and resilience, food security and nutrition, and WASH. We use a market-driven approach to support entrepreneurs and facilitate the inclusive development of value chains and business models, having reached approximately 6 million people.
Building on this foundation, iDE Cambodia is expanding its portfolio of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programming to address the immediate and underlying causes of malnutrition and improve the health and well-being of women, children, and vulnerable households. As part of this growing nutrition portfolio, iDE Cambodia is implementing new nutrition-focused projects in Siem Reap, including efforts to prevent and reduce child wasting through community engagement, health system strengthening, and improved access to quality nutrition services.

These positions will provide technical leadership, strengthen partnerships with government and development stakeholders, and ensure high-quality delivery of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions that improve maternal and child nutrition outcomes, and either of these positions will support the child wasting project and community preschool feeding project.
