ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
WFP Ethiopia, one of the largest and most complex operations for WFP globally, is currently rolling out its five-year Country Strategic Plan (2020-2025). While the bulk of operations will continue to address the immediate short-term needs of refugees, internally displaced persons and other food-insecure and undernourished people, there will be a gradual expansion and intensification of resilience and livelihood diversification initiatives at the humanitarian–development–peace nexus. WFP will focus on the prevention of malnutrition, the building of resilience and the integration of nutrition concerns and gender equality throughout the portfolio.
WFP Ethiopia has integrated Cash-Based Transfers (CBT) programming in its humanitarian response and resilience building to offer more dignity and choice to targeted beneficiaries in the way they meet their essential needs on local markets, and to allow more flexibility in reaching food security and nutrition outcomes. CBT is implemented across four activities (relief food assistance, malnutrition prevention, refugee support and resilience building). In 2022, WFP Ethiopia transferred more than 26 million USD to 1.2 million beneficiaries. In 2023, WFP Ethiopia established a robust Identity Management system encompassing digital registration, distribution, and reconciliation of in-kind assistance as well.
JOB PURPOSE
This job is based in the Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Country Office. The purpose of this consultancy is to further improve WFP’s Identity Management system by leading data management activities (collection, processing, quality control) and strengthening data analytics enabling evidence-based decision-making.
