**JOB PURPOSE**:
The mission of WFP is to end global hunger. 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. Sitting within the Supply Chain and Delivery Division, procurement as a service is responsible for cost-effective, fair, and transparent purchase of food, as well as the goods and services required to support the global operations of WFP.
Over the last decade, the value of WFP's procurement has tripled, as the number and complexity of our operations expanded. In response to this dynamic environment, WFP began a transformation project to address inefficiencies across processes, structures, and technology. This has birthed the development of a digital solution to connect data from different systems and enable teams to track the entire procurement process from end-to-end. The Project will also support better data analysis to help operational decision-making, improve efficiency and accountability and secure the best value for money for WFP operations.
The Regional Change Agent will play a pivotal role in supporting the successful implementation of the digital solution within their respective region and countries.

3. Coordinating Training and Communication:
a. Organize and lead informational sessions, workshops, and training sessions to promote understanding and adoption of the digital solution.
b. Facilitate communication between the project team, regional stakeholders, and country-level implementation teams, ensuring alignment of goals and objectives.

4. Monitoring Progress and Feedback:
