What will you do in this position?

As part of the Logistics Cluster team, the Information Management Officer (IMO) is responsible for the collection, processing, and dissemination of data and information, to support building a common situation awareness of supply chain operations, limitations, and challenges, and promote the sharing of information, analysis and logistics capacities when/where appropriate.

Why work with us?

The war in Ukraine has left an estimated one in three families without enough food, rising to one in two in some areas of the East and South. More than 6 million Ukrainians have been internally displaced and more than 6 million have left the country. Many of those who remain have lost their livelihoods, especially in areas close to the front lines. Millions who fled their homes to the country’s West are preparing for long-term internal displacement. Many who have returned to liberated areas around the capital, Kyiv, are struggling to rebuild their lives, having run out of money or found their homes reduced to rubble. WFP is quickly scaling up to support 4.7 million people per month inside Ukraine, using a flexible mix of food and cash assistance. We support people wherever they are, including in areas close to the front line. WFP also supports humanitarian organisation in Ukraine, by leading the Logistics Cluster and the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster, and by co-leading the Food Security Cluster.
