Global Call for Expression of Interest - Programme & Policy Professionals

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies, building prosperity, and supporting a sustainable future for people recovering from conflict, disasters, and the impact of climate change.

There is growing evidence that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to deepen existing hunger amongst vulnerable populations. Ongoing insecurity, the lack of resources, and constrained access to food are worsening food insecurity. COVID-19 is exacerbating pre-existent regional crises (record global food insecurity & displacement, West Africa, South Africa drought, Insecurity in the Middle East, Venezuela, Desert Locust) potentially leading to unprecedented levels of hunger in 2020/2021.
