ABOUT WFP

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. We are the world’s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters, and the impact of climate change.

Our response to emergencies - saving lives and livelihoods either through direct assistance, or by strengthening country capacities – remains at the heart of our operations, especially as humanitarian needs become increasingly complex and protracted, such as those brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT & BACKGROUND OF THE ASSIGNEMENT

Through its emergency and development activities, WFP has provided assistance in Liberia since 1968 and through its five-year Country Strategic Plan (2018-2023), supports social and productive safety nets, capacity strengthening, and emergency preparedness and response. WFP aims to provide safety nets to strengthen food and nutrition security through school feeding and social protection measures and assists in strengthening the national capacity of Liberia to own and implement hunger solutions.

This position is in the WFP Liberia Country Office under the Health Supply Chain Unit. The TALLY Clerk will support the launch and implementation of a bilateral service provision operation in Liberia. This is a nationwide, high-profile operation and in line with key global initiatives such as ’The Grand Bargain’, ’Delivering as One’ and the ’SDG 17 Partnership for the Goals’. The service will be funded by the Global Fund under the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) on the behalf of the Ministry of Health.

The Global Fund is a major investor in the health sector in Liberia and will be taking over the responsibility involving medicines and other health products delivery in support of the Ministry of Health in Liberia. The Global Fund identified WFP as the supply chain partner for a role of 4PL and provision of long haul and last mile transport services of medicines and health supplies across the country in support of the Ministry of Health of Liberia.

WFP will be in charge of overseeing and managing the long-haul transport and last mile delivery of pharmaceutical products in support of the Ministry of Health’s in-country health supply chain, and will support any related capacity strengthening initiatives with a view to meeting the project objectives and all aspects of the scope of work.
