Are you passionate about providing insights that will provide creative solutions to change and save the lives of millions of beneficiaries? If yes, this opportunity is for you.
We are looking for experienced Senior Food Security Analysts at a P4 level to join the World Food Programme (WFP) at Vulnerability Analysis Mapping (VAM). WFP is looking to build a pool of highly qualified and dynamic talents interested in going to any country where we operate – including difficult duty stations.
VAM is a core area for WFP; VAM forms the basis for the design of all of our operations. Prior to any intervention, WFP undertakes an analysis of the food security situation and answers some critical questions: who is food insecure or vulnerable and why?; how many are they and where do they live?; what should be done to save their lives and livelihoods?; how is the situation likely to evolve and, what are the risks threatening them?
VAM provides geospatial and economic analysis, food security monitoring and assessments, and thematic analysis. This allows WFP to perform effective targeting and define the most appropriate type and scale of intervention (such as food distributions, school feeding, cash or voucher programmes). Therefore, in this role you will generate the evidence base that supports nutrition and food security policies and programmes.
