New Delhi, India World Food Programme Full time

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 World Food Programme (WFP) is the food-aid arm of the United Nations and is committed to fighting hunger worldwide. WFP has been operational in India since ; however, the nature of support extended by WFP in India has evolved over a period of time from providing food to a more catalytic role in reducing vulnerability and eliminating food insecurity and malnutrition through technical assistance. WFP focusses on enhancing the systemic efficiency and nutritional effectiveness of the various food-based safety nets in support of the efforts of the Government of India and in partnership with the State governments. The role of the WFP nutrition unit in India is limited to improving the nutritional effectiveness of the food-based safety nets.

Over the past few years, food fortification has been the strategy used by WFP to improve the nutritional effectiveness of the food-based safety nets. WFP has a long and diverse history of food fortification in India. This experience ranges from production and distribution of fortified blended foods to staple food fortification of both wheat flour & rice and point of use fortification of hot cooked meals in the governments food-based safety nets. However, in the recent past, the focus has been primarily on rice fortification.

WFP through its work has been well able to make the case for integration of fortified rice in the food-based safety nets of the government. Consequently, the Department of Food and Public Distribution, Government of India formulated the Centrally Sponsored scheme on fortified rice. WFP is a technical partner to the Ministry for this endeavour. As part of technical assistance and to ensure that fortified rice is mainstreamed and scaled up in the food-based safety nets and other possibilities for enhancing the nutritional effectiveness of the PDS are considered, WFP plans to position a staff in the Department of Food and Public Distribution, Government of India.

WFP has a zero-tolerance approach to conduct such as fraud, sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to WFPs standards of conduct and will therefore undergo rigorous background verification internally or through third parties. Selected candidates will also be required to provide additional information as part of the verification exercise. Misrepresentation of information provided during the recruitment process may lead to disqualification or termination of employment.
