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.

By joining the team, you will have an opportunity to transform communities, unleash your full potential and make a difference where it matters.

Job Purpose & Background
Decades of conflict in Somalia have profoundly affected its food systems, leading to recurring food insecurity and crises. Despite averting famine through intensified efforts, over 8.3 million people still require humanitarian assistance. Climate-induced shocks, armed conflict, and economic disparities contribute to acute food insecurity, with 3.7 million people affected and expected to rise to 4.3 million by late 2023. However, national initiatives like the 'National Pathways' and the Food Security Crises Preparedness Plan offer hope for resilience-building. Collaborative efforts involving the UN, government, and global partners aim to prevent future crises and promote sustainable solutions. A consultant is sought to enhance coordination and support key stakeholders in this vital mission.
