Le PAM recrute un spécialiste de la politique de programme (PPP) pour les transferts monétaires – Juba / Soudan du Sud

About WFP :

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide.  The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes.  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.

Job purpose :

WFP’s Programme in South Sudan aims to reach approximately 5 million people each year with both emergency and recovery assistance. WFP provides food and nutrition assistance for populations in crisis and delivers safety net programmes such as food assistance for assets, purchase for progress, and school meals to food insecure people in more stable contexts. In all its programmes WFP seeks to employ the most efficient, effective and appropriate transfer modalities, whether in-kind food, cash-based transfers (CBT), or capacity development.

WFP South Sudan currently provides CBT to more than 900,000 beneficiaries monthly, with transfers equivalent to USD 4 million per month during the lean season. In areas where markets are functioning, or can be supported to effectively deliver assistance, WFP will scale-up its CBT interventions given the positive impacts it has on beneficiary empowerment and choice, efficiencies and local markets. WFP is increasingly utilizing the corporate SCOPE system for the beneficiary information management with aim to enhance biometrics registration and authentication of beneficiaries, as well as the collection and analysis of beneficiary information in order to improve programmes.
