Contribute to pipeline management facilitating efficient monitoring to prevent and address pipeline breaks and maximise operational effectiveness. Enter accurate data in the corporate systems within the established deadlines, to enable easy access to information and support planning and decision-making.

Compile data and provide analysis, maintain accurate records and files and prepare periodic and ad hoc reports for further reviews, to support accuracy and efficiency of information presented to internal and external stakeholders. Maintain communication with several individuals regarding project funds management matters and related processes to clarify any discrepancies and optimise use of funds. Provide guidance and on-the-job training to other staff in budget planning, fund management and operational planning, to support continued development and consistency in services delivered. Follow standard emergency preparedness practices, to ensure WFP can quickly respond and deploy needed resources to affected areas at the onset of the crisis.
