Details

Nutrition Opportunities Worldwide is a group of nutrition consultants based out of the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto. The main goal of this project working for us is to write short succinct summaries of Public Health Nutrition Papers, UN reports on nutrition and food security, attend some webinars on nutrition and summarize the content of these for posting on social media platforms. The goal is to increase the following to the Nutrition Opportunities Worldwide LinkedIn platform and help develop other social media platforms and revamp the organizations webpage. We are looking for students enrolled in nutrition/public health/international development or dietetics who are knowledgeable and interested in doing technical writing about nutrition and food security related subjects. By posting regularly we have managed to increase our LinkedIn following from 1000 in January to almost 10,000 followers. Most of our followers are based in lower-middle income countries and are nutrition and or development professionals who appreciate the well curated, credible, nutrition information we are sharing with them. We aim to get to 12,000 followers by the end of the student contract.

Deliverables

Read reports on nutrition and health and summarize into social media posts

Attend webinars, take notes and summarize the webinar for posts.

Read academic papers on nutrition and summarize papers into short social media posts.

Potentially do short videos which could be put as 'reels' on various social media platforms

Take pictures and research materials online.

Attend meetings with owner and clients.


Mentorship

This project will likely be supported through the LevelUP program. Therefore we are only taking Canadian students enrolled in university full time.

Nutrition Opportunities Worldwide (Nutritionops) is a network of nutrition consultants who bring nutritional science insights to projects where there needs to be communication across different sectors. Consultants (PhD/MSc food science and nutritionists) have corporate food industry experience and the company aims to work on nutrition development projects which need a commercial lens. As such we aim to help deliver SDG2. We have acted as consultants on a number of USAID projects in various countries. Work done would include literature reviews, market and product reviews, nutrition product innovation research , dietary surveys, project evaluation reports, policy analysis, regulatory assessments and training/knowledge transfer workshops as needed. The goal of the company is to grow from a loose network of consultants into a mid size consultancy business with an international reputation for good work done well.
