  • BIU acts as the “advisory arm” of WFP
  • BIU is composed of staff with top-tier management consulting backgrounds (e.g. Bain, BCG, McKinsey) as well as UN experience

We execute projects on behalf of Executive Directors, Assistant Secretary Generals, and Directors across the UN system, and have become a trusted advisor to WFP and other entities (e.g. UN Women, UNFPA, Business Innovation Group). Our focus is on end-to-end solutions, including problem assessment, data analysis, operational model design, change plan and implementation monitoring.

  • UN Reform: Guide UN Reform implementation inside the WFP and part of an inter-agency project team
    • Advise UNDCO on how to perform data collection (e.g., producing/updating data collection template, preparing and leading training sessions for all participating UN entities, supporting data missions in countries, etc.);
    • Lead a team to carry out analysis and visualizations to drive insights and enable CBO Project Team to make data-driven decisions
    • Drive communication efforts on UN Reform
  • Additional divisional needs
    • As part of the BIU leadership team, be responsible for driving knowledge management reviews and best practices sharing, hiring, developing and retaining members of the BIU team
    • Guide and supervise more junior staff, acting as a point of referral and supporting them with more complex analysis and queries
    • Additional project support based on pipeline and new projects contracted during time of contract, as required
