    REG CST contract for 11 months - Targeting Analyst Consultant

    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

    Assisting over 100 million people in more than 80 countries each year, the World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies, working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience, and partnering with governments to strengthen social protection systems. To be effective in this mandate WFP must ensure that it reaches the right people and that it manages its relationship with those individuals and their communities in a responsible, accountable, and effective manner.

    As a result of conflict, climate change and the impact of COVID-19, hunger has been on the rise globally over the past years. While WFP thanks to increasing donor contributions has been able to significantly scale up its response, the gap between needs and resources available to address those needs is growing. This stresses further the importance of robust targeting and prioritization processes, ensuring that the most destitute and vulnerable people are assisted timely.

    With more pressure on country offices to conduct sophisticated targeting and prioritization exercises, there is rapidly growing demand for support from Regional Bureaux (RBx) on targeting-related issues. Moreover, within the framework of the Global Assurance Project (GAP), country offices are required to strengthen targeting processes in order to meet predefined, time-bound benchmarks for which the support of the Regional Bureaux is necessary.

    To better meet demand HQ is now recruiting a Targeting officer who will be responsible for technical support in design and implementation of targeting and prioritization as well as providing oversight in the implementation of GAP-Targeting measures to strengthen in country processes. Reporting to the Head of Targeting within the Needs Assessment and Targeting Unit, and under overall guidance of the Director Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Service (APP Division), the targeting officer will support country offices to better implement, monitor and document targeting decision-making across WFP operations. The Analyst will also establish strategic points of contact with other units, to explore potential links with targeting across WFPโ€™s programmatic areas, such as social protection. The Targeting officer will also play a key role in the development, testing and evaluation of targeting methodologies, and translation of research findings and operational lessons learned into guidance, tools and learning materials for practitioners in the field.

    DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

    The Targeting officer will work in close collaboration with Programme and other units at regionalโ€ and country office levels, the Joint UNHCR/WFP Programme Excellence and Targeting hub and other external stakeholders, and be responsible for the following activities:
