BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
The Economic and Markets Unit (PRGFE) of the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Service of the Programme Division (PRGF) of the World Food Programme (WFP) seeks to fill an economist position, which will be based at the Headquarters of the United Nations World Food Programme in Rome, Italy.The PRGF Service in WFP Headquarters leads WFP’s food security analysis, supporting a large network of analysts in Global Headquarters (GHQ) and Country Offices (COs).

Food security analysis is a cornerstone of the organization’s work.

It provides WFP, governments and partners with the essential information to identify populations in need and target the most appropriate type and scale of interventions as well as with the necessary knowledge to inform policy decisions and advocacy efforts.

Analyses span emergency assessments, in-depth household surveys, food security monitoring, early warning and forecasting, spatial analysis and economic and market analysis.PRGFE combines expertise in market systems, operational efficiency, economic modelling, and strategic analytics to provide economic and market analysis and cross-cutting strategic and analytical support for operational decision-making and evidence-driven advocacy.

The unit provides tools, guidance, and support to WFP COs to enhance their capacity to monitor food prices, assess markets, analyse essential needs and adjust programmes in contexts of economic shocks, ensuring that interventions are both timely and effective.

PRGFE further monitors economic trends and risks, analyses food security implications of global economic shocks and runs scenario simulations, based on cutting-edge economic research.Within the unit, the Economist will provide senior technical leadership across WFP’s economic and market analysis, developing and applying advanced methods (economic modelling, scenario simulation, demand analysis, composite indices and market assessment) that turn complex, multi-source data into credible, timely evidence for decision-making.

The purpose is to strengthen WFP’s capacity to anticipate and respond to the economic shocks and market conditions affecting food security, directing resources where they most effectively alleviate hunger and malnutrition.

As needs evolve, the Economist will design and validate new methods and tools and bring them into operational use at scale.The Economist will also provide technical supervision and on-demand research advice and country support across other unit initiatives.
