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.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

The World Food Programme (WFP) Cambodia Country office is due to design its forthcoming country strategic plan (CSP). The CSP is designed to be unique and will incorporate a Country Office's entire humanitarian and development portfolio, subsuming all programmes and projects into clearly defined Strategic Outcomes. The development of the CSP is a process which requires consultations ranging from Government counterparts to affected populations. The CSP process and forthcoming document will frame WFP’s approach to support the Royal Government of Cambodia in its development plans related to food and nutrition security with a continued decrease in direct implementation and continued gradual shift towards technical assistance to change lives.

The Deputy Country Director (DCD) is leading on the process and is seeking to recruit a consultant (the CSP Development Consultant) to support with the process for a six-month period.
