Duration: 1 year (renewable) depending on performance and availability of funds

Application Deadline: 8th May 2024

ORGANIZATION CONTEXT

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency, fighting hunger worldwide. WFP Rwanda works in partnership with the Government and other stakeholders through the direct implementation of integrated programmes targeting the most vulnerable people and will progressively shift towards building national capacity to formulate, manage and implement programmes for achieving zero hunger. In implementing its activities, WFP will bridge the humanitarian–development nexus and leverage its extensive experience and the contributions it has made in Rwanda over many decades to achieve four strategic outcomes outlined in the WFP Country Strategic Plan (CSP).

To that effect, activities under the Food Systems umbrella are mainly coordinated through the Smallholder Agricultural Market Support (SAMS) Unit. Given the multi-dimensional nature of food systems, WFP Rwanda takes a private-sector focused approach, in line with government strategies to ensure sustainable systemic change across the agricultural sector.

SAMS activities are implemented in partnership with a diverse group of stakeholders, including government line ministries and subnational institutions, NGO partners (local and international), financial service providers (UNCDF, banks and micro-finance institutions), value chain service providers such input providers, aggregators, and logistics providers, as well as food-commodity traders, processors, and commodity exchanges.
