The Annual Country Report (ACR) are annual reports WFP produces to inform its donors how resources for any given project were used, and the results obtained during the reporting year. It is also a key corporate tool used to improve results monitoring and reporting for corporate accountability and

learning and to ensure strengthened linkages with WFP’s Strategic Objectives.

Under the overall supervision of the Deputy Country Director, the Reports Consultant will assist in producing the ACR for the Senegal Country Office, in particular, to ensure that the project is reported on and published online for donors and internal use, by the strict deadline of 31 March.
