Fortify Health has a vision for a healthier world where everyone has the micronutrients they need to survive and thrive. We work toward this by enabling access to micronutrient-rich wheat flour (chakki atta) to reduce and prevent iron deficiency anaemia.
Fortify Health operates through three flagship programmes:
- Open Market: Support millers to cost-neutrally fortify chakki atta in the open market. We provide our mill partners with the equipment, materials and training that they need to produce high quality fortified chakki atta.
- Partnerships: Work closely with both state government and quasi-governmental organisations to support them to provide fortified chakki atta to their beneficiaries.
- Research, Monitoring & Evaluation: Monitor the quality of the fortified atta that we support our partners to produce and conduct evaluation studies to understand the impact and effectiveness of our programme.
Fortify Health is planning to grow rapidly in the next two years, aiming to support nourishing rotis for more than 25 million Indians per day by the end of 2025. This expansion will only be possible if we find and collaborate with new mill partners.
The Senior Program Manager will drive our outreach efforts with new mill partners, finding and liaising with new potential partners. They will act as crucial advocates for fortification. They will also play a key management role within Fortify Health. The Senior Program Manager will work closely with Program Officers and other teammates to coordinate expansion efforts into new states.
The Program Manager has the exciting opportunity to manage and support the scale up of a rapidly growing team. The Senior Program Manager (SPM) will report to Fortify Health’s Associate Director of Programs.
