Job Description

2Pi-Jobs is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.

In Egypt, WFP is committed to supporting the Government’s priorities towards the achievement of the SDGs. WFP Egypt current five-year Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2023-2028 supports progress towards Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 17 through three outcomes:

Crisis-affected populations in Egypt, including refugees, meet their essential food and nutrition needs and have enhanced self-reliance all year round.

Targeted groups in Egypt benefit from more resilient, sustainable, and climate-adaptive livelihoods and food systems by 2028.

The Government of Egypt has enhanced capacity, programmes and systems ensuring populations in vulnerable situations benefit from improved access to and quality of food, nutrition, health, and education services by 2028.

WFP is therefore implementing its humanitarian response to crisis-affected populations, including refugees and asylum seekers, as well as designing resilience-building activities for refugees and host community members. WFP’s approach to food security is two-pronged; it first ensures access to basic food needs for vulnerable populations, and secondly, it addresses long-term resilience building for future self-reliance. Through its "One Refugee Policy" WFP targets vulnerable crisis-affected populations irrespective of nationality with cash-based transfers to ensure they can meet their essential food needs throughout the year.
