Vacancy At United Nations World Food Programme For Programme Assistant

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.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Programme Assistant (Cash Based Transfer) G4
Requisition No: 80929
Location: Maiduguri, Borno

Organizational Context
This job is located in WFP Maiduguri Area Office, Nigeria. Job holders typically provide administrative support to team(s) and/or support a specific business stream, and report to the relevant Associate.

At this level, work is carried out under close supervision and job holders are expected to produce organised and accurate work.

Job Purpose
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is currently providing food assistance to up to 1.5 million beneficiaries affected by the insurgency in North East Nigeria (Yobe, Adamawa and Borno States). WFP’s food assistance is provided through in-kind, cash and vouchers modalities.
While the bulk of beneficiaries are receiving their assistance through in-kind, about 30% of them under the different programmatic areas (General Food Distribution, Livelihoods and Nutrition) are currently receiving theirs through either mobile money or e-vouchers.
This number is expected to reach about 40% by the end of 2018 given the scaling up of Cash Based Tranfers (CBT) in the North east, particularly in urban centers.
Given the background, WFP seeks to recruit 4 (four) Programme Assistants to support the implementation of the CBTs in Maiduguri.
The Programme Assistants shall be expected to majorly provide field support with particular focus on working with the CPs to adequately prepare and monitor the monthly CBT distributions across Borno State.
