POSTE 1

Soutien aux moyens de subsistance

Job Title:         Livelihoods programming.

Duration:         11 months (Renewable)

Post Grade:      CSLT I

Duty Station:   Tamale

BACKGROUND AND JOB PURPOSE:

The United Nations World Food Programme with the kind support of the Government of Japan is facilitating implementation of a sustainable nutrition project that leverages livelihoods, Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) and food support to build resilience of vulnerable populations to food and nutrition insecurity in Karaga district. The district is the second most food insecure in Ghana, according to the 2020 Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis.

The project seeks to draw synergies with the government’s social safety net programmes for maximum impact by targeting LEAP beneficiaries and vulnerable women, children and adolescent girls on the Ghana National Household Registry. It also highlights the critical role of Public-Private Partnerships in addressing malnutrition in Ghana.

Targeted beneficiaries will receive food assistance through value vouchers.

In addition, Mother-to-mother and father-to-father support groups will be formed as a platform for nutrition and health education.

Some of these beneficiaries or eligible adults in their households will also be supported in the production of diversified nutritious crops. To increase productivity and prevent post-harvest losses, beneficiaries will also be supported with farm inputs.

Market linkages will be created or strengthened between the smallholder farmers and commercial buyers to motivate them to cultivate crops all year round.

Crops produced by beneficiaries will be part of the food basket for the voucher programme to provide direct market and further improve dietary diversity and micronutrient intake.

Results from a needs assessment will inform the selection of beneficiaries for other income-generating initiatives apart from nutrition-sensitive agriculture. Beneficiaries will be equipped with the requisite skills for a start-up or expansion of existing livelihoods. Beneficiaries will also be introduced to transformative Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) to pool resources as an alternative source of income.

WFP is soliciting the services of a consultant to support the implementation of the livelihoods programme, which will be led by a local Non-governmental Organization (NGO).
