**Job Title**:School Feeding in Prolonged Crisis Consultant

**Type of Contract**:WAE Consultant

**Division: SBP - **School-Based Programmes

**Duty Station (City, Country)**: HQ Rome, Italy

**Duration**:11 months

**BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT**:
With over 60 years' experience in School Feeding, WFP has a trajectory of working with more than 100 countries to set up sustainable national school feeding programmes. In the context of COVID-19 we are at the forefront of supporting governments in planning for the safe re-opening of schools and making sure that meals and health services reach the ones that need it the most. Our school feeding programmes not only provide the basics of nutritional food but serve as a powerful incentive for children to return to school.

Today, millions of children living in poor and vulnerable communities don’t have regular access to the nutritious food they need to stay healthy and thrive. This affects their physical and mental development and can keep them from finishing school and building the strong future they deserve.

WFP advocates for the universal adoption of school feeding programmes as a safety net that helps increase children’s access to education and learning opportunities and strengthens their health and nutrition status. WFP focuses increasingly on helping countries to establish and maintain nationally owned programmes. In countries still requiring WFP’s operational support, it implements school feeding programmes with clear hand over strategies.

During conflicts and prolonged crises governments may not be able to properly manage a school feeding programme due to the lack of financial resources, competing priorities, limited security, etc. In such situations WFP steps in. In recent years, school feeding has been increasingly used crisis and conflict-affected countries to cover the needs of the most vulnerable children, including more recently as part of the global COVID-19 emergency response.

A recent Strategic Evaluation of WFP’s School Feeding Programme identified a number of factors that hampered the success of WFP school feeding. This includes that WFP strategies and policies are not focusing sufficiently on school feeding in humanitarian and fragile settings and as a response to shocks. The evaluation recommend the improving guidance and standards and understanding of country contexts and the roles that it can play, with a focus on humanitarian settings.

**ACCOUNTABILITIES / RESPONSIBILITIES**:
As a consultant in the School-Based Programmes team in WFP Headquarters, you will bring your experience in the humanitarian and development sector by working and contributing to a multidisciplinary team focusing on multisectoral approaches to reach programme quality in school feeding. You will develop guidance and standards for school feeding and school health and nutrition in humanitarian settings (including for school feeding as a response to shocks), based on clear pathways, existing evidence and stronger collaboration with internal and external partners.

**SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS**:
You will work under the overall guidance and coordination of the Programme and Policy Officer for School Health and Nutrition Programme on the following tasks:

- Building on the evaluations on School Feeding in Emergencies and other available evidence, map missing guidance and standards for school feeding and school health and nutrition in humanitarian settings, including for school feeding as a response to shocks and related to cross-cutting topics such as protection, gender, accountability to affected population, people living with disabilities.
- Support SBP leadership to engage with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Children’s Fund, Education Cannot Wait and non-governmental organizations in the humanitarian space, as well as relevant WFP units, to identify strategic priorities for school feeding in humanitarian contexts.
- Based on the above, develop/update guidance and training material to address existing gaps on school feeding operations in humanitarian context, being coherent with WFP's other guidance for these settings and in close collaboration with members of the Emergency Division, the Programme & Policy Division, and other Divisions/Units.
- Participate in meetings and engage with other functional units, RBs and COs, developing content and talking points about school feeding in emergencies.
- Any other duties in support of the Programme team and other teams in the division.
