1 TERMS OF REFERENCE Junior Professional Officer (JPO) Programme Emergency Response Officer, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo Programme Office, Goma Area Office, DRC Country Office Special Notice: This post is opened in the context of the Junior Professional Officer (JPO) Scheme sponsored by USAID - Office of Food for Peace and is addressed exclusively to U.S. nationals. Age limit: 35 years. The World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency, fighting hunger worldwide. We are currently seeking for a Junior Professional Officer to fill the position of Emergency Response Officer with our Programme Office in the Goma Area Office in Eastern DRC. WFP s Rapid Responses in Eastern DRC With a current permanent field presence in five of the eleven provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and with over 300 staff, of which more than 80 per cent is based in provincial sub-offices, the World Food Programme (WFP) Country Office (CO) in DRC has been providing large-scale humanitarian food assistance in conflict-affected areas in the Eastern parts of the country for more than two decades. In June 2013, WFP s Executive Board approved the Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) , covering a 30 months project lifespan until December 2015 outlining WFP s targeted food assistance to victims of armed conflicts and other vulnerable groups in the DRC. The operation started in July 2013 and aims to reach 3.6 million beneficiaries. WFP activities in the DRC are focused on providing humanitarian relief to IDPs, refugees, and returnees. Relief activities in areas impacted by displacements include general food, cash or voucher distributions, emergency school feeding (ESF), and treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (TSFP) for children aged 6-59 months, pregnant women and nursing mothers. The geographical areas of interventions are concentrated in acutely food-insecure, conflict-affected areas, largely in the east of the country. In fact since over two decades the Eastern provinces of the DRC have been affected by intercommunity and cross-border conflicts involving fights over land ownership and the exploitation of natural resources. These conflicts are intertwined and feed on each other creating a vicious circle of violence. The new Security Council resolution (Resolution 2098) of March 2013 provided for the deployment within the peace keeping mission (MONUSCO) of a now active offensive Force Intervention Brigade (FIB) with a mandate to neutralize all armed groups in eastern DRC. The intervention brigade assists the Forces Armees de la republique democratique du Congo (FARDC) who as a result has become more active and effective in conducting military operations against the myriad of armed groups that have caused constant insecurity and instability in the 1
2 country. The increased numbers of military operations is however resulting in an equally increased numbers of localised civilian population displacements crises, particularly North Kivu. Against this backdrop the December 2013 Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) results show that the food security situation in the conflict affected areas of the DRC is dire (the June 2014 IPC results have yet to be finalized and made public but there are indications that the situation remains a cause for serious concern). According to the assessment, the percentage of the population suffering from food insecurity has reached 61 % in North-Kivu and 37 % in South- Kivu. According to OCHA, by March there were around 2,635,000 IDPs and 1,810,000 returnees in the eastern provinces of Orientale, Maniema, North Kivu, South Kivu and Katanga. This makes DRC by far one of the largest protracted humanitarian crises in Africa. In the context of ongoing conflicts and military interventions, extreme poverty, as well as small to medium scale, sudden, and often pendulum population displacement, it is the main concern for WFP to maintain and increase its rapid response capacity. Goma, the capital of north Kivu Province, has become the main hub for humanitarian assistance in Eastern DRC and it is now the location of an important contingent of humanitarian actors, including international NGOs, diplomatic missions, and UN agencies. The significant number of coordination fora (meetings, distribution list, reporting flows) is critically important but also labour intensive processes that would benefit increased capacity to maintain WFP s ability to provide timely responses to emergency food needs.
