FHI 360 is a global organization that mobilizes research, resources and relationships so that people everywhere can access the opportunities they need to lead full, healthy lives. We listen to, learn from and work with communities to expand social and economic equity, improve health and well-being, respond to crises, and strengthen resilience. Since 1977, FHI 360 Nepal has worked in close collaboration with the Government of Nepal, civil society, academia, and the private sector to deliver integrated programs in essential health services—including HIV, MNCH and nutrition—, procurement and supply chain management for life-saving drugs, global health security—including laboratory strengthening, antimicrobial resistance, disease surveillance, evidence-based public health messaging and community engagement, and health emergency management— and air quality management.

FHI 360 is currently seeking an application from NGOs or community-based organizations that are registered and/or currently operational in the respective project district(s) to work as an implementing partner (IP) agency for the prevention, screening, and treatment of malnutrition in pregnant and lactating women as well as infants and young children, and support for MNCH services under funding from the United States Department of State through the Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) project. Activities will be implemented from April 2026 (or sooner) to September 2026, with the possibility of extension subject to funding availability and approval from the donor.

The IP is required to closely coordinate and collaborate with the local governments, I/NGOs and other partners working in the field of MNCH and nutrition in the district and at the local level. Interested NGOs that are registered and/or currently operational in the respective project district(s) are requested to submit an application based on the guidelines for preparation of the application. The selection process involves review of applications, virtual presentations from the shortlisted applicants and an onsite organizational pre-appraisal of the shortlisted organizations. Request for guidelines for preparation of application and questions or requests for clarification can be sent to nepal.eoi@fhi360.org by December 29, 2025, 5:00 p.m. Nepal time.
