ABOUT WFP

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide.  The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes.  Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

The humanitarian situation in Cabo Delgado continues to deteriorate due to consecutive climate shocks, insecurity and violence, leading to significant displacement, increase in protection related issues, disruption of livelihoods and lack of access to basic services. Since October 2017, Cabo Delgado has been experiencing a series of attacks by unidentified Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) from the region. In March 2020, the attacks escalated significantly and show no signs of abating with thousands of civilians have been killed and approximately 700,000 people have been internally displaced since the outbreak of the violence in 2017.  Throughout this 3year conflict period the Government has commenced setting up resettlement sites to cater to the steadily increasing number of IDPs. Many IDPs have alternatively taken shelter in the homes of host communities, remaining in dire need of humanitarian assistance, placing additional strain on host families and community resources.

JOB PURPOSE

The objective of this role is to improve and coordinate Beneficiary Information Management procedures in the northern affected provinces of Mozambique, namely Cabo Delgado, Nampula, Niassa and Zambezia throughout the programme intervention cycles in a protection centered manner and ensuring compliance with WFPs Personal Data Protection Policy. This involves a strong focus on accountability to affected populations, namely community consultations, transparent communications and strengthened engagement on complaints and feedback mechanisms where issues relate to beneficiary lists (exclusion errors, corruption and fraud). The successful applicant will act as an interlocutor between all BIM relevant units such as RAM, Protection, TEC, CBT, BIM and Programmes internally, ensuring quality coordination for further collaborations with the government, CPs and other stakeholders.

With the confirmation of Covid-19 in Mozambique, the operational approach has required significant adjustments in order to apply social distancing measures and ensure the safety of programme teams and beneficiaries in this context. It will be important for this position to define relevant accountable approaches to beneficiary information management in the context of covid-19 applying WFPs protection policy and related commitments. The Protection Policy is complemented by IASC’s five commitments to Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) (2012) and WFPs policies on Humanitarian Principles (2004) and Gender (2015).
