📌 Type of Contract: Consultancy level I

➡️ Unit / Division: Partnerships Unit / WFP Ukraine

📍 Duty Station: Kyiv

➡️ Duration: 11 months 

What will you do in this position? 

You will support WFP’s Ukraine Country Office in building partnerships and mobilizing resources across key areas such as emergency response, early recovery, agricultural mine action, social protection, and school feeding, working closely with programme, budget, and supply chain teams to present WFP’s results and needs to donors. 

Why work with WFP Ukraine? 

The war in Ukraine has had drastic consequences, both for people inside the country and for those around the world who depend on its food supplies. The war has caused immense suffering for civilians, displaced families, and disrupted supply chains and food production. It has caused one of the fastest forced population movements since the Second World War. Close to 6 million Ukrainians are still living as refugees across Europe, and almost 3.6 million are internally displaced. Many have lost their homes and livelihoods. As food production and supply lines are disrupted by fighting, many families in the east and south of Ukraine do not have reliable access to nutritious food.

WFP uses a combination of food and cash assistance to support communities affected by the war. This includes working with local partners to distribute food boxes in areas near the frontline and providing cash transfers in locations where people have access to banks and markets to buy food. Since March 2022, WFP has distributed food and cash assistance equivalent to 3.7 billion meals to people displaced and affected by the war.
