**ABOUT WFP**:
The **UNITED NATIONS WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME (WFP)** is the world’s largest humanitarian organization working towards zero hunger by 2030, 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. Powered by the passion, dedication and professionalism of our 20,000 staff worldwide, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) works in over 80 countries to bring life-saving food to people displaced by conflict and made destitute by disasters, and help individuals and communities find life-changing solutions to the multiple challenges they face in building better futures. In 2020, WFP assisted 115.5 million people - the largest number since 2012.
We work to enhance nutrition in women and children, support smallholder farmers in improving productivity and reducing losses, help countries and communities prepare for and cope with climate-related shocks, and boost human capital through school feeding programmes. In conflict situations, we bring relief to exhausted populations and use food assistance to build pathways to peace and stability. For its efforts to combat hunger, for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict, WFP was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020.
**ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT**:
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is well known for its ability to deliver food assistance rapidly to people in need. To continue responding effectively to challenging contexts while also contributing to longer-term efforts to end hunger, WFP is in the process of strengthening its engagement in support of national social protection systems and safety nets, supporting governments with technical expertise in the development of sustainable hunger-smart and nutrition-sensitive solutions that will support progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Two: “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture”. This includes providing technical advice and operational services aligned with national social protection strategies (when available) and frameworks.
WFP’s Regional Bureau in Cairo for the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe region (RBC) is looking to expand its support to national social protection systems, in support of food security, nutrition and emergency response objectives. RBC provides strategic guidance, policy/technical support and direction to WFP operations and activities in 14 countries: Algeria, Armenia, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and Yemen.
**KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES (not all-inclusive)**:
**1. Support Country Offices to define and set strategic direction in social protection engagement. Provide support primarily to three Country Offices (COs) from RBC region (Algeria, Libya, Tunisia) to define or further clarify how to take forward their Social Protection programming as outlined in their Country Strategic Plan (CSP)**:
- In collaboration with RBC and CO teams, identify priority opportunities for WFP’s potential onward engagement in social protection in specific countries.
- Support COs in developing the strategic direction and positioning of their engagement in specific social protection schemes and overall country social protection strategy, in line with their Country Strategic Plans.
- Inform CO strategic and technical programme development, including on shock-responsive social protection, fostering integration of the work of relevant technical teams (cash based transfers, school feeding, nutrition, emergency preparedness and response planning, TEC ) and liaising with relevant CO, Regional Bureau and Headquarters focal points as required.
- Support COs to build a policy dialogue on social protection with host governments and development partners, develop positioning and advocacy messages towards this.
**2. Provide technical support to Country Offices on social protection and capacity strengthening**
- Provide technical advice on a wide range of programme and policy issues related to social protection, including assessment and analysis, the choice of objectives, activities, transfer modalities, the deployment and testing of innovative approaches and the development of strategies to support governments efforts to reduce hunger and malnutrition through national social protection systems. As part of this, a particular focus will be on shock-responsive social protection, particularly for the Tunisia CO.
- Support CO’s efforts to integrate of the work of relevant technical teams (school feeding, nutrition, cash-based transfers, emergency preparedness and response planning ) with regards to shock-responsive social protection in support to food and nutrition security.
