A PROPOS DU PAM

Le Programme alimentaire mondial des Nations Unies (PAM) est la plus grande agence humanitaire luttant contre la faim dans le monde. La mission du PAM est d'aider le monde à atteindre l’objectif Faim Zéro d’ici 2030. Chaque jour, le PAM travaille pour s'assurer que les populations les plus vulnérables, en particulier les femmes et les enfants, puissent avoir accès aux aliments nutritifs dont ils ont besoin pour mener une vie productive et saine.

Au Mali, le PAM soutient les efforts du gouvernement à travers une stratégie d’assistance visant à répondre à l’urgence humanitaire, renforcer la résilience des communautés et soutenir les efforts de développement durable. En collaboration avec les institutions de l’Etat, les Organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) et les partenaires du système des Nations Unies, le PAM organisent des transferts monétaires ou en nature pour subvenir aux besoins alimentaires des familles affectées par les conflits ou les aléas climatiques, fournit des repas scolaires qui favorisent l’accès des filles et garçons à l’éducation, soutient la prévention et le traitement de la malnutrition, apporte l’appui technique et financier aux groupements de petits producteurs agricoles pour améliorer leur production et l’ accès au marché.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

Understanding and anticipating emerging risks which could have an impact on current WFP operations or would necessitate new or scaled-up responses is at the foundation of WFP’s approach to maintain operational continuity. This re-quires information gathering on security, conflict, economical and socio-political trends as well as analytical capacity to have the best possible situational awareness. The Regional Bureau drives analysis of current and emerging trends in countries of operation in close collaboration with country offices and HQ (Head Quarter) units.

One of the main pathways in sustaining WFP Operational Continuity in West and Central Africa is to invest and strengthen the situational Awareness and Analysis capacities and expertise.

In its efforts to strengthen this pillar of its operational continuity plan, the Malian CO (Country Office) with the support of RBD (Regional Bureau Dakar) and HQ (Head Quarter) has invested in the scaling up of the "Access Monitoring Tool”. To ensure the sustainability of this tool and maximize its use in the implementation of WFP's access strategies in the Country Offices, Mali plans to recruit a national Data Analyst/GIS (Geographic Information System).

Under the authority of the Head of Programme /Deputy Country Director and the direct supervision of the Head of Access Team, the Data Analyst/GIS (Geographic Information System) Officer will support the access team in maintaining and institutionalising the Access Monitoring Tool by the Country Office and ensure a sustainable data pipeline for continuous update and thorough documentation on use cases and lessons learnt.

• Support and accompany the Country Office teams and Regional Bureau Dakar in the scaling up and operationalization of the Access Monitoring Tool (AMT) – including data collection, curation, update, visualization on the dashboard in accordance with the WFP standards
• Support the Malian Country Office teams and Regional Bureau Dakar in training on access monitoring tool when needed
• Ensure the archiving of products and publications in the Teams space and their sharing with the Country Offices and the Regional Bureau Dakar,
