**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.

WFP’s Regional Bureau for the Middle East and Northern Africa (RBC), based in Cairo, Egypt, provides strategic guidance, policy/technical support and direction to WFP operations and activities in 16 countries: Algeria, Armenia, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, State of Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine and Yemen. These country offices aim to assist roughly one-third of all of WFP’s beneficiaries (approx. 30 million) in some of the most critical humanitarian emergencies of our time. RBC is also active in the ‘Changing Lives’ side of WFP’s mandate, helping national governments and local communities improve nutrition, livelihoods, school feeding, social protection, climate and disaster risk reduction and other programmes that build resilience and support development.

**JOB PURPOSE**:
The Middle East and North Africa region host some of the most challenging settings in the world in terms of addressing food insecurity. Pressure from population growth, resource scarcity and natural hazards have led to serious degradation of the natural resource base with adverse implications for food security. This system, already under considerable pressure, especially from a water and land perspective, will become even more exposed as climate change further exacerbates existing risk factors and stressors.

For WFP, it has become an imperative to address this multitude of complex risk factors that contribute to food and nutrition insecurity and erode the livelihoods of the poorest. Working with partners, WFP in the region is advancing a more holistic approach to supporting disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation and resilience at all levels.

In this context, WFP is seeking to enhance its capacities by recruiting a Programme Policy Officer focusing on supporting the ‘Anticipatory Action’ portfolio including a regional joint initiative called the SDG-Climate Facility Initiative, jointly with UNDP, the Arab Water Council, the League of Arab States, UNEP-FI, UNDRR and UN-HABITAT.

**KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES (not all-inclusive)**:

- Lead in updating and preparing regional Anticipatory Action annual workplan.
- Provide project implementation support including support for coordination of meetings and workshops.
- Undertake reporting and research, as well as assist with knowledge generation, with a specific focus on how WFP can ensure that anticipatory action programmes leave no one behind (OR ensuring equitable access to WFP Anticipatory Action programmes).
- Lead/ co-lead in country office feasibility/scoping missions, under guidance of regional climate services/early action expert, on building capacities for identifying relevant risks, early actions, and capacities, financing and delivery related to the successful and equitable roll-out of forecast-based financing and anticipatory action.
- Support communication and dissemination of evidence and knowledge products at the regional level, with country offices and externally, by strengthening capturing of knowledge, lessons learned and best practices and by identifying channels and platforms for dissemination of WFP reports, strategy papers and materials for increased communication and visibility.
- Provide strong technical input to studies and assessments in collaboration with relevant experts and teams, as needed, to support evidence-building on anticipatory action.
- Under supervision, liaise with other functional sections and units to ensure effective internal collaboration when required and support regional partnerships.
- Perform other duties as required.

**STANDARD MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS**:
**Education**:
University degree in Environmental Science, Development or Economics is a must. Master’s degree is preferable.

**Experience**:

- Three to four years of relevant experience on early action and climate services, in relation to food security.
- Has experience on research, policy, analysis and programme in climate change, humanitarian, and development fields.
