About WorldFish 

WorldFish is an international research organization working to transform aquatic food systems to reduce hunger, malnutrition, and poverty. It collaborates with international, regional, and national partners to co-develop and deliver scientific innovations, evidence for policy and knowledge to enable equitable and inclusive impact for millions who depend on fish and other aquatic foods for their livelihoods and nutrition. Our work in countries advances progress on multiple 2030 Sustainable Development Goals through science and innovation, with a vision of healthy people, healthy planet and shared prosperity. 

About Project

Aquatic foods are among the most nutrient-dense foods available and can play a critical role in improving dietary quality and addressing micronutrient deficiencies among nutritionally vulnerable populations (Golden et al., 2021). Over the past decade, WorldFish and its partners have developed and tested a diverse range of fish-based products, including fish powders, dried fish products, fish chutneys, porridges, noodles, cookies, and fish snacks. These products have been designed to improve access to nutritious aquatic foods among target groups such as infants and young children during the first 1,000 days of life, pregnant and lactating women, and school-aged children, while also supporting rural livelihoods and women’s economic participation. Fish-based product initiatives have been implemented across multiple countries and contexts, generating valuable experience on product development, nutritional quality, consumer acceptability, production models, and pathways to scale.

In 2024, WorldFish convened an e-learning event that brought together teams from seven countries to document experiences, lessons learned, and research priorities related to fish-based products. The discussions informed the development of the brief Fish-based Products in Diverse Aquatic Food Systems: Innovating with Product Development to Tackle Malnutrition and Improve Livelihoods https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12348/6115, which synthesized more than a decade of WorldFish experience across 21 projects. The review highlighted the diversity of products developed, their potential contributions to nutrition and livelihoods, and the need for stronger evidence on affordability, market integration, scalability, food safety, and impact.

About Position

We are seeking a motivated and capable Master's student intern to undertake a comparative assessment of fish-based products developed through WorldFish-supported initiatives. Building on findings from the 2024 WorldFish brief and the accompanying e-learning event, the internship will involve compiling, validating, and synthesizing information from multiple country programmes. Particular attention will be given to documenting product formulation, nutritional characteristics, target populations, production systems and distribution, market integration pathways, and evidence of scaling. The intern will work closely with WorldFish staff across country offices and will produce a comparative inventory and assessment matrix as well as a technical report and identifying cross-country lessons, evidence gaps, and opportunities for future investment in nutrition-sensitive aquatic food systems.

The successful candidate will be responsible to:

• Review and compile existing information on fish-based products developed through WorldFish initiatives.
• Organize and synthesize data on product characteristics including ingredients, nutritional composition, target populations, and intended nutrition outcomes.

• Engage with WorldFish staff across country offices to validate and complement available information.
• Conduct a targeted literature and document review to inform the analytical framework and comparative assessment.
• Develop a standardized inventory and assessment matrix for fish-based products.
• Identify common approaches, lessons learned, evidence gaps, and opportunities for future investment.
• Analyze and synthesize findings across countries and product types.
• Lead the preparation of a technical report and comparative inventory/assessment matrix.
• Contribute to dissemination activities and presentation of findings.
• Participate in regular meetings with the supervision team to discuss progress and refine analyses.

• Demonstrated experience in data compilation, literature reviews, and synthesis of information from multiple sources.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, including the ability to manage, analyze and synthesize qualitative and quantitative information.
• Understanding of nutrition-sensitive food systems, aquatic foods, value chains, and/or market systems.
• Ability to work independently and communicate findings clearly through technical reports, briefs, and other written outputs.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with multidisciplinary teams across different country contexts.
• Interest in nutrition, fisheries, aquaculture, food systems, and international development research.
