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.

**ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT**:
The Middle East, Northern Africa and Eastern Europe regions host some of the most challenging settings in the world in terms of addressing food insecurity. Pressure from population growth, water scarcity and natural hazards have led to serious degradation of the natural resource base with adverse implications for food security. This setting, already under considerable pressure, will become even more challenging as the impact of the climate crisis is further pronounced.
The expected impact of climate change is particularly precarious for the already food insecure and vulnerable people that WFP supports throughout the region. Many of these are also affected by instability and conflict, inflation and economic volatility - most recently fuelled by the crisis in Ukraine - resulting in higher levels of vulnerability and increasingly fragile food systems. The climate crisis will interact with these risks, effectively acting as a risk multiplier with potentially millions of people in danger.
In this context, WFP is seeking to enhance its capacities to support regional and country level efforts to respond to the climate crisis through the recruitment of a regional Senior Climate Action Officer. This post will be based in the Resilience and Climate Team, Humanitarian and Transitions Unit, under the direct supervision of the regional team lead for resilience and climate.
**JOB PURPOSE**:
The regional Senior Climate Action Officer is expected to support the integration of climate action into WFP’s programme interventions across countries that WFP supports in the region. This will require direct engagement and guidance to WFP country offices on aspects related to evidence generation, consultation with stakeholders, advising on programme design, implementation support, and advice on how to strengthen monitoring and demonstration of results.
With the growing need to quickly adapt to climate change and the increasing demand from governments to scale up responses, this position is expected to provide leadership in strengthening the abilit
