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.

Background and purpose of the assignment :

The World Food Programme has developed and is continuing to enhance and maintain a set of digital solutions to manage:

This includes SCOPE, WFP’s beneficiary and transfer management platform that supports the WFP programme intervention cycle. The SCOPE platform is a web-based application used for beneficiary registration, intervention setup, distribution planning, transfer and distribution reporting. While there is a current focus and scale-up/enhancement related to cash-based transfers, SCOPE currently supports all WFP transfer modalities: in-kind, voucher and cash for a variety of project activities.

Under the direct supervision of the lead Regional Digital Assistance Services Officer (DASO), the incumbent will be responsible for working with key stakeholders to gather data analysis and reporting requirements, and translating complex data sets into meaningful insights to support operational and management decision making.
