JOB PURPOSE & BACKGROUND

The United Nations World Food Programme is a leading organization delivering food assistance and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience to natural disaster and climate change. The World Food Programme (WFP) has been in Bhutan since 1974.

As part of the UN Sustainable Development Partnership Framework (2019 – 2023), WFP supports the Government in setting up national rapid post-disaster needs assessment capacity; transitioning of the national school feeding programme to a national school nutrition and feeding programme; and strengthening national capacity to prepare for and respond to disasters.

For nutrition, WFP is assisting the Government to develop a national Social Behaviour Change Strategy to promote healthy eating habits among school children (6-18 years). WFP is supporting the scale-up of the school nutrition and feeding programme with supply chain cost optimization, linking farmers to schools, and school infrastructure development. In agriculture, WFP is applying a system approach to agriculture value chain development. It begins from demand creation for local food, to support in production, marketing and mitigating post-harvest losses. WFP also supports policy and inter-agency coordination, including assistance on enhanced cost efficiency and knowledge management. For disaster risk management, WFP supports the Government in setting up national platforms to guide coordination, actions, and investments in disaster preparedness and response.
