  13. Support corporate dialogue with partners through high-level consultations, proactively highlight strategic opportunities and issues to senior management, and present recommendations on best course of action to nurture trust and interest on WFP's contribution to social protection.
  14. Support the design of large/complex partnership proposals, contribute to complex negotiations on strategic partnership agreements and/or MOUs in the area of social protection in line with corporate norms, processes, and external regulations.
  15. Ensure partner visibility and that partner conditions are met.
  16.
