ABOUT WFP

The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide.  The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes.  Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.

POSITION DETAILS

Position Title: Procurement Assistant (Food Safety and Quality Capacity Strengthening), SC-5
No of Openings: 1
Contract Type: Service Contract (SC)
Position Grade: SC-5
Unit/Division: Programme and Policy
Duration: 1 year (renewable) depending on performance and availability of funds
Duty Station: WFP Field Office Huye, Rwanda
Closing Date: 17th October 2023

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

World Food Programme:
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 in order to achieve four strategic outcomes outlined in the WFP Country Strategic Plan (CSP). Strategic Outcome 2 focuses on ensuring that vulnerable populations in food-insecure communities and areas have improved access to adequate and nutritious food all year. This Outcome encompasses capacity strengthening and direct programme implementation in the areas of school feeding, social protection, disaster risk management, food security and vulnerability analysis, and climate-resilient livelihoods programming.

WFP Rwanda, Under Strategic Outcome 2, has close engagement in the national school feeding agenda. WFP provides school feeding in food insecure areas and, at the same time, acts as a key technical partner of the Government of Rwanda in developing and expanding the National School Feeding Programme (NSFP) that was launched in 2021, providing school meals in all public schools from pre-primary to the secondary level funded from the national budget. This builds on long-standing collaboration between WFP and the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) and other ministries on the design of the programme and its decentralized procurement model. The recently approved procurement model empowers schools to procure fresh foods and food products from animal source while the district procures non-perishable or long shelf-life meals with a preference given to smallholder cooperatives as suppliers. WFP’s technical assistance has a specific focus on strengthening this procurement model through periodic reviews, technical advice and capacity strengthening at the central and decentralized levels.

COUNTRY CONTEXT AND RESPONSE

In the 2020/2021 school year, the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) rolled out a nationwide scale up of the government school feeding programme that now reaches 3.8 million pre-primary, primary and secondary students in public schools in the 2022/2023 school year. The national strategic vision of school feeding in Rwanda is for all school children to achieve their full development potential through a sustainable school feeding program that provides adequate and nutritious meals at school. This plan entails providing nutritious and locally sourced meals to schools, with foods purchased from smallholder farmer cooperatives and local markets. To support the National School Feeding program (NSFP) the GoR has developed and distributed the School Feeding Operational Guidelines which provide guidance on meal composition, meal costs, procurement of foods, food management, and meal preparation, among other key areas.
Due to the national scale up, the Government has adopted a more relevant and sustainable procurement model with focus on locally sourced foods where the procurement of longer shelf-life foods will be conducted at the district, while the procurement of fresh foods will still be conducted at the school.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNEMENT

In 2021, WFP launched a 3-year initiative called the Power of Procurement for Nutrition (PP4N) with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, which focuses on leveraging institutional food procurement for school feeding to become a major promoter for food and nutrition security, create at-scale demand necessary to enable at-scale supply, jumpstart sustainable virtuous cycles that ignite commercial markets and lead to affordable healthy diets for all. The project’s vision is to enable nutrition-positive, budget-neutral approach to improving the diets of the most vulnerable while growing the market for nutritious foods and in the long term aims to incorporate carbon and environmental neutrality. PP4N is based on 4 pillars:

1. Procurement: supply of nutritious and safe food, capacity strengthening on food supply chain management and procurement, with focus on food safety and quality and social and behavior change communications,
2. Policy: policy influencing and advocacy around nutrition in public procurement and building systems and capacities for the safe and cost-efficient utilization of other nutritious foods,
3. Data: invest in areas of evidence deemed necessary like Global Meal Quality Score (GMQS) and market assessments and
4. Innovation: identify and test different models for delivery of affordable nutritious meals for school children e.g., renewable energy, new menu options etc.
   This position will be responsible for supporting the implementation of activities related to pillar 1: Procurement.
   
   
   

JOB PURPOSE

Provide capacity strengthening, operational support, monitoring and evaluation, and training focused on perishable and non-perishable food items for school feeding. This position will support districts (Nyamagabe and Nyaruguru) and schools in those districts, both in oversight and providing capacity strengthening on food safety practices and procedures for school feeding.
This includes ensuring that fresh foods and food products (including animal-source foods) at school level as well as commodities at district level (rice, maize flour, beans, oil, sugar) meet the established standards of quality and safety set by national regulatory authorities, inspecting the workplace for compliance and identifying any areas of concern, investigating customer complaints, and preparing reports on food quality and safety.
