Reports To: Colombia Program Director

*Transform the lives of the most marginalized and vulnerable communities and be at the forefront of social change. Be a part of a dedicated team of human rights workers and make a lasting impact.**

Organizational Background:

Heartland Alliance International (HAI) is the global arm of Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights, a family of organizations that has been leading anti-poverty and social justice work in Chicago for more than 125 years. HAI’s offices in nearly a dozen countries implement programs on a range of global human rights issues, as well as the Chicago-based Marjorie Kovler Center for the Treatment of Survivors of Torture, which serves individuals from more than 50 countries. HAI has significant expertise in the fields of trauma-informed mental health care and access to justice for survivors of rights abuses. It is also an industry leader in access to high-quality and stigma-free health care. Across all of its programs, HAI promotes progressive, innovative approaches to human rights protections and gender equality.

In Colombia, HAI provides innovative, collaborative, and community-based mental health services, including individual and group psychosocial therapy, to underserved populations most affected by armed conflict and violence in the Pacific region of Colombia. HAI’s culturally-competent and locally-adapted programs allow people to heal, become empowered to access justice and social services, and ultimately lead change in their own communities. HAI in Colombia includes direct survivors of the conflict who provide services to vulnerable populations, including Afro-Colombians and indigenous communities. HAI partners with community leaders, local organizations, and institutions to provide effective, evidence-based and culturally- adapted mental health services, and continuously strengthen these programs to better support people in need. As Colombia builds the foundation for an enduring peace, communities that have been historically marginalized and most affected by decades of violence need sustained support. HAI is committed to addressing crucial humanitarian needs and protecting human rights for the most vulnerable and underserved populations in the country. HAI will support the construction of an inclusive and sustainable peace through community engagement, strategic partnerships, and a focus on concrete results at the territorial and national levels.

About the Project: “Improving Health and Building Resilience: MAS Colombia Mejorando el Acceso a la Salud y fortaleciendo la resiliencia: MAS Colombia”, is a two year project to increase access to mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) and protection for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict victims, including by strengthening support from government authorities, and enabling communities to effectively and collaboratively advocate for their rights. This innovative project builds on HAI’s extensive experience providing integrated services for IDPs including for women and girls, Afro-Colombians and other particularly vulnerable communities. The project will expand existing coordination efforts among government, civil society organizations and communities impacted by forced displacement and create identification and referral networks to respond to the needs of IDPs.

The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

Background

UNICEF LACRO health and nutrition section, in collaboration with the Child Rights and Business Unit of PFP, is interested in contributing to the discussion on prevention of childhood overweight and obesity as a risk factor for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).

In 2014, LACRO undertook an exploratory study mapping regulations in LAC related to marketing techniques of Food and beverage (F&B) companies in schools and social media in collaboration with Argentina, Mexico and Costa Rica COs. In 2016 LACRO conducted another study on the improvement of labeling of food and beverage products targeting children and adolescents to facilitate consumer information, also in Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica and Chile.

One of the recommendations of this labelling study was to improve public and private sector policies to protect children and adolescents from marketing techniques in store and support children’s rights to a healthy eating. Retail grocery stores, the primary locations for food purchases, are receiving increased attention as an environment that may be ripe for public health interventions to promote consumption of healthy food by children and adolescents, limiting the marketing of unhealthy food and beverage to children.

Assumptions on marketing to children and adolescents in retail stores

Healthier food environments contribute to the prevention of malnutrition

Food environments consist of labelling, marketing, availability, access, and prices (a specially sensitive issue for low income families in inflationary countries)

Food environments determine consumer’s food choices and preferences

Consumers’ food choices and preferences influence children’s diets and preferences

Children’s diets and preferences unhealthy foods influence their nutritional health

Healthier consumer behavior (consumption patterns) at supermarkets and retail stores has a positive impact on children’s diets and thus children’s nutritional health.

Retail stores are a significant part of the food environment, especially regarding point-of-sale marketing (where are the products placed? which products are promoted?), availability (what foods are available or not available? are there supermarkets with healthy options in low income communities?), and access (are healthier products – fruits, veggies and milk- economically accessible to lower income families?).

Purpose of the study

Generate evidence to help prevent child obesity by addressing how supermarkets (retailers) impact food environments, and thus consumer choices and children’s nutritional health

Identify the marketing strategies in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG[1]) shown to positively influence consumer behavior in supermarkets (reduced / increased consumption of unhealthier / healthier products) with focus in Argentina, Brazil and México.

Identify efforts that can be taken by supermarkets, retail stores and the retail association in Latin America and the Caribbean to have a positive impact on community health, particularly children’s nutrition.

Goals of the study

The specific goals of the consultancy are to:

Map current global standards on marketing of food and beverage to children in store, including potential regulations at the national level in LAC or in other regions

Perform a literature review of existing studies on marketing in medium/large store and its impact on child’s rights including consultations with key regional and national stakeholders in select countries (Argentina, Mexico, Brazil). Include good practices from the retail sector in LAC including efforts to limit marketing to children of industrialized products in store, promoting the consumption of fruits, vegetables and milk by children.

Collect and analyze data of marketing to children in stores from the seven categories targeted to children (and adults but for children consumption) available on different retail outlets on three countries in Latin America. Collect information on presence or absence of promotional characters on the shelf (e.g. cartoon or company, licensed, movie tie-­‐in or for kids), premium offers (e.g. game and app downloads, contest, pay 2 take 3 or other, limited edition, social charity, gift or collectable), special samples for kids of healthy and unhealthy, product placement at the store of healthy and unhealthy food, etc. Collect also information through photographs on what is working in stores to promoting healthful eating by increasing availability, affordability, prominence, and promotion of healthful foods: mostly milk, fruits and vegetables.

Conduct in-depth interviews, site visits, collection of good practices and data analysis (where available) in different locations (of different socioeconomic background) of select participating retail stores (1-2 per country) to increase the understanding of the specific ways in which retail activities could impact children’s obesity, both directly and indirectly, to positively influence consumer behavior in supermarkets.

Based on all the above-mentioned materials, propose general recommendations to retailers (and other stakeholders such as government, civil society, etc) to improve marketing of food and beverage products targeting children in LAC in store.
