JOB TITLE & GRADE LEVEL: Programme Policy Officer, SO2 Manager (Human Capital Development – Nutrition and School Meals), NOB TYPE OF CONTRACT: Fixed Term UNIT/DIVISION: Programme Unit – Human Capital Development DUTY STATION (City, Country): Lilongwe, Malawi REPORTS TO: Deputy Head of Programme DURATION: 12 months (Renewable) ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency, fighting hunger worldwide.
WFP Malawi is undergoing a strategic repositioning aimed at strengthening its alignment with national priorities, enhancing inter-agency collaboration, and supporting the Government of Malawi in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, with a particular emphasis on Zero Hunger (SDG 2), in line with Malawi Vision 2063 and its first ten-year implementation plan (MIP-1).
WFP's Malawi Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2024–2028 seeks to ensure the food and nutrition security of vulnerable people and communities while building resilience through the transformation of food systems.
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2024–2028, the CSP sets out five mutually reinforcing outcomes and continues WFP's strategic shift from direct implementer to enabler of nationally owned, sustainable systems, with phased handover of interventions informed by capacity assessments. Under CSP Outcome 2, WFP supports the Government to improve nutrition, health and education outcomes for enhanced human capital development in line with national targets by 2028.
The outcome brings together Activity 3, which promotes optimal nutrition practices and strengthens partnerships with food system actors to increase the availability and use of diverse, nutrient-dense foods, and Activity 4, which provides safe, nutritious and diversified meals to pre- and primary school children, linked to local production and markets through Home-Grown School Feeding (HGSF).
Malawi's nutrition challenges remain significant: stunting remains around 35 percent, only 8 percent of children under two consume a minimum acceptable diet, and micronutrient deficiencies, including anaemia and zinc deficiency, are major public health concerns.
At the same time, the Government is advancing a nationally owned school meals programme, creating an opportunity for WFP to use schools and communities as integrated platforms for nutrition, education and local food system development, while progressively transferring programmes to national ownership.
JOB PURPOSE: To advance this agenda, WFP Malawi seeks to recruit a Programme Policy Officer (Human Capital Development) to lead the design, implementation, quality assurance and progressive national handover of WFP's nutrition and school meals portfolio, ensuring the two workstreams are programmed together as one coherent human capital development offer to the Government of Malawi and partners, in line with WFP corporate priorities.
