ABOUT WFP
The World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian organization saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity, for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change.
At WFP, people are at the heart of everything we do and the vision of the future WFP workforce is one of diverse, committed, skilled, and high performing teams, selected on merit, operating in a healthy and inclusive work environment, living WFP's values (Integrity, Collaboration, Commitment, Humanity, and Inclusion) and working with partners to save and change the lives of those WFP serves.

WHY JOIN WFP?- WFP is a 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.- WFP offers a highly inclusive, diverse, and multicultural working environment.- WFP invests in the personal & professional development of its employees through a range of training, accreditation, coaching, mentorship, and other programs as well as through internal mobility opportunities.- A career path in WFP provides an exciting opportunity to work across the various country, regional and global offices around the world, and with passionate colleagues who work tirelessly to ensure that effective humanitarian assistance reaches millions of people across the globe.- We offer an attractive compensation package (please refer to the Terms and Conditions section of this vacancy announcement).
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
WFP’s presence in Latin America and the Caribbean is characterised by small, small, and medium-sized country offices (CO). Except for Haiti, all COs are in middle-income countries (MICs) facing chronic undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies and recurrent emergencies exacerbated by widespread inequities, climate change, economic vulnerability, lack of access to nutritious food, inadequate food consumption and migration, among others.
The role of WFP in the region has evolved over the years, and in many ways, COs serve as models of how WFP can continue to engage in MICs globally and the added value the organisation brings in such contexts. Regional operations have increasingly focused on transitioning from direct WFP operations to capacity strengthening, technical assistance for government programmes and policy support.
Resilience building and climate change are concepts that extend to different contexts and sectors to address increasingly complex risks and help minimise their impact on vulnerable people. Therefore, WFP has adopted resilience and adaptation to climate change as a general framework, with the intention of identifying programs and approaches that help mitigate the impact of climate shocks and stressors causing environmental degradation, economic uncertainty before, during and after a crisis, conflicts, price shocks and migratory movements, among others.
The regional Climate and Resilience Programme Unit is currently hiring an expert to provide support to programme and policy work related to climate change.
Climate change multiplies existing threats to food security, hunger and malnutrition. Expected impacts of climate change include an increase in the number and intensity of climate related disasters, increased scarcity and lack of access to land and water, decreases in agricultural productivity. Impacts will be felt disproportionally by the most vulnerable people, the majority of whom live in fragile areas prone to natural hazards, ultimately putting hundreds of millions of people at risk. The World Food Programme (WFP) approaches the challenge of climate change from the point of view of its impact on hunger and under nutrition through activities that manage climate risk, build resilience, and help people adapt to climate change.
In addition, to directly support COs in the design and implementation of climate resilience projects, RBP also provides guidance and technical support to leverage opportunities in the realm of climate finance, with a vital component of partnership management with public and private sectors and other development organisations.
ACCOUNTABILITIES/RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Consultant will be based in WFP's Panama Regional Office, working in the Climate Resilience team, but in a cross-cutting function that intersects with different programmatically technical teams. The Consultant will take a leadership role in advising on climate change adaptation activities with a strong focus nature-based solutions and climate-resilient livelihoods and assets, including:
- Provide technical advice and inputs in the design and implementation of climate resilience policy/programme, Country Strategic Plans (CSPs) and government policy/programme activities as and when appropriate, on climate change adaptation with a strong focus nature-based solutions and climate-resilient livelihoods and assets.
