Treasure Terms of Reference Introduction Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) is a UK-registered charity dedicated to reducing global malnutrition through knowledge exchange, research, and advocacy.

We work in close partnership with national governments, UN bodies, NGOs, academic institutions, and funders to strengthen the design and delivery of nutrition interventions.

Additional Information About ENN A Letter from the Board of Trustees At ENN we are truly passionate about what we do. Over the past 30 years ENN has become a powerful and recognised name in the nutrition sector, working with others to influence outcomes around the world. We produce highly regarded research and publications that inform and inspire practitioners worldwide and we convene technical interest groups and communities of practice who are the ‘go to’ networks for their specialisms. Our partners know and trust ENN for quality, rigour and impartiality. Our work makes a real difference in the lives of children in some of the most difficult parts of the world. The ENN-led Operational Guidance on Infant Feeding in Emergencies has become the key global policy guidance and has been endorsed by the World Health Assembly, and our technical leadership and convening has facilitated real change in awareness and a new narrative, challenging siloed approaches to Wasting and Stunting management. Our work has never been more important. Nutritional challenges are growing across the world; undernutrition rates may be slowly decreasing but other forms of malnutrition are on the rise. The positive progress that is being made is unequal and many countries are now facing the double burden of both under and over nutrition. Crises around the world are increasingly protracted and the historical and artificial silos of ‘humanitarian’ and ‘development’ don’t reflect real needs which are much more fluid. Emerging threats, such as the broader impact on nutrition of the COVID-19 pandemic bring new challenges to address. At present our annual turnover is around £1.5m, we employ 20+ staff and engage up to a dozen consultants. With our 2024-28 strategy, we are keen to drive even greater impact by exploring new and innovative approaches and increasing our reach further still. We do so with funding in place from a range of institutional partners and private foundations. We hope the enclosed information helps you to explore ENN and the role. With best wishes, The ENN Board of Trustees Vision Our vision is: ‘Every individual confronted by malnutrition has access to the knowledge, tools, services and resources they require to meet their needs’ Our History Founded in 1996 in Ireland, ENN has a long and rich history in global nutrition. Following an evaluation of the Great Lakes Emergency in 1995, implementing agencies identified an urgent need to establish a vehicle for capturing programming experiences and preserving institutional memory in the emergency food and nutrition sector. This gave rise to ENN’s publication, Field Exchange, which was first produced in 1996, designed to stimulate critical thinking and learning, influence research agendas and cross-fertilise information and exchange. ENN was generously hosted by Trinity College Dublin for its first eight years, before relocating to Oxfordshire in 2004 and is now a UK registered Charity. "To me, ENN is one of the most long-standing focal points for emergency nutrition technical information and coordination." (ENN partner) Who We Are Now Our Strategy aims to enhance the effectiveness of nutrition policy and programming by improving knowledge, stimulating learning, building evidence and providing support and encouragement to practitioners and decision-makers involved in nutrition and related interventions. We have three core principles guiding our work: Independent, neutral and impartial ENN is not bound by the views or positions of any one institution and is not a nutrition implementing agency. Any opinions expressed are based on the available evidence and the experience of our rich and diverse network. Driven by our network ENN’s network is made up of practitioners, decision-makers and academics working on nutrition and associated fields all over the world. By supporting their learning and sharing their knowledge, ENN is able to make a unique contribution to turning knowledge into practice. Based on experiential learning and evidence ENN believes that policy and practice can, and should be, informed by evidence and experience. Where this exists, ENN seeks to share the learning from this evidence and experience; where it is missing, ENN advocates for it to be developed or directly supports, and often brokers, its development. Our People ENN’s team is made up of a range of technical experts in nutrition, with decades of collective experience, and a small operational team. ENN’s Management Team comprises of the CEO, 1 (of two) Technical Director, a Finance Manager, the HR Manager, the Communications and Digital Manager and a Projects Coordinator Lead. As well as our staff, we engage a significant number of experienced specialist consultants on our projects. ENN is highly committed to diversity and inclusion, to enabling and promoting flexible working for our staff, and to supporting continued professional development. Our Governance ENN is a UK-registered charity (Charity Registration Number: 1115156) governed by the Board of Trustees and a set of ‘Articles of Association’. The Board is currently comprised of 8 Trustees and meets regularly throughout the year, with full board meetings on a quarterly basis. The Board currently has three sub-committees: the Governance & People SC, the Technical SC and the Finance sub-committee, which are responsible for ensuring the highest standards in terms of finance, personnel, and technical expertise and application. As a UK-registered Charity, ENN also files accounts as a UK-registered Company with Companies House (Company Registration Number 04889844). Our Finances ENN is financially supported by a range of institutional donors (including the Irish Government, the EU), charitable foundations (including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Eleanor Crook Foundation), as well as UN agencies and INGOs.

Institutional Memory — 10% of time • Build and maintain the knowledge management systems that ensure relevant field relationships, intelligence, and strategic context accumulate as organizational knowledge across the Foundation and pan-Mozilla entities, rather than disappearing into meeting notes. Your Professional Profile: • 8+ years working at the intersection of technology and power, in policy, governance, geopolitical analysis, or institutional strategy, with a demonstrated ability to read fast-moving landscapes and turn them into actionable intelligence., • Deep command of emerging and frontier technology governance debates, including AI, platform regulation, data sovereignty, digital infrastructure, and government industrial and development policy, and a clear-eyed understanding of who holds power in these spaces and why., • Strong existing networks in at least one major policy corridor (Brussels, Geneva, London) and genuine reach into global majority contexts, including Sub-Saharan Africa, the Gulf, East Asia, and Latin America., • Fluency in institutional dynamics: knows how decisions actually get made inside governments, multilaterals, foundations, and technology organizations, and can navigate accordingly., • Experience operating as a trusted advisor to senior leadership before high-stakes engagements; has been in the room and knows what preparation actually requires., • Sharp written communication under pressure; produces briefings that are clear, opinionated, and useful., • Experience designing or building intelligence systems that integrate multiple data sources, working across technical platforms — including Salesforce and dashboard or network mapping tools; a technical or developer background is a genuine advantage.
