International Consultancy Roster: Programme Policy – Anticipatory Action and Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR)
Details:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
In 2018, the World Food Programme (WFP) re-established its presence in the Caribbean by opening an office in Barbados. This Caribbean Multi-Country Office supports 22 countries and territories across the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean. Its capacity strengthening programme focuses on key areas such as vulnerability analysis and mapping, end-to-end supply chain management, shock-responsive social protection, food systems strengthening, and climate risk financing. During times of crisis, WFP collaborates with partners to deliver direct assistance when national and regional capacities are exceeded, providing food, cash or voucher support, and emergency logistics or services.
The Caribbean region is highly vulnerable to climate hazards including hurricanes, floods, and droughts, which often result in loss of life and significant economic damage. This consultant roster aims to strengthen regional capacity by engaging experts who can support the design, implementation, and coordination of AA and emergency preparedness initiatives.
Candidates selected for this roster will manage a varied portfolio of emergency and/or anticipatory actions programs and projects, in coordination with strategic partners (government, NGOs, private sector, donors), on key issues for the multi-country office and its satellite offices.
The consultancy level assigned to candidates selected for the roster will be determined based on their years of relevant experience and the results of their technical assessments.
