ABOUT WFP
The United Nations World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes. Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

BACKGROUND AND JOB PURPOSE
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) seeks to support the Government of Kenya (GoK) to build inclusive, climate-resilient and sustainable food systems and support rural and urban communities’ resilience capacities to adapt to climate and other shocks to meet their food and nutrition needs in line with the GoK’s Vision 2030 and development plans. Building on WFP’s extensive knowledge, footprint, and comparative advantage in reducing vulnerabilities and building the resilience of food insecure Kenyan communities, the “Climate Resilient Livelihoods and Food Systems Programme” covers a set of multiple interventions and partnerships that supports communities to anticipate and adapt to climate change and other shocks and stressors through a food systems lens. WFP works closely with among others the GoK, communities, research institutions, development partners and private sector to promote local climate adaptation, strengthen local and regional market linkages, enhance access to credit through financial inclusion models and promote the consumption of safe and nutritious foods.


WFP supports county governments in the arid and semi-arid lands to build sustainable demand-led value chains linking smallholder producers (farmers and pastoralists) to other value chain actors such as suppliers of agricultural finance, inputs, and technical expertise. In western Kenya, WFP operates through the Farm to Market Alliance (FtMA) which is a consortium of six organizations (Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), Bayer, Rabobank, Syngenta, WFP, Yara) with a joint vision to empower farmers to increase their yields, incomes, and resilience and to improve global food security. This successful model is currently being scaled-up to the nine arid counties in northern and north-eastern Kenya.


To support the successful scale up of interventions and business models, WFP seeks a dedicated data analyst to support the Food Systems and Resilience team in Nairobi to manage data and develop systems to better generate evidence towards achieving programme goals and objectives.
