    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT

    WFP is known for its ability to deliver food assistance rapidly to people in need, especially in humanitarian crises caused by conflict, violence and natural hazards. In Eastern Africa, numerous multidimensional crises and shocks continue to have humanitarian consequences within the region and beyond. WFP is continuing to respond to emergencies within the region, strengthening preparedness along with early warning and analysis, while also increasingly shifting its focus to better support host governments and strengthen their capacities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, and Goal 2 (zero hunger) in particular. As it delivers on its humanitarian and development mandate, WFP is committed to advance the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. The WFP Disability Inclusion Road Map (2020-2021), approved in November 2020, outlines a plan for the organization to operationalize the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS) and its obligations to disability inclusion (DI), more broadly, through its operations and internal support functions. Beyond 2022, WFP has incorporated disability inclusion into its Strategic Plan for 2022-2025 outlining three goals: to realize the meaningful participation and inclusion of persons with disabilities in all operations and programming; to integrate disability inclusion as a key consideration for management and support functions; and to become an employer of choice for persons with disabilities.

From an operational perspective, WFP will aim to ensure the meaningful participation and perspective of persons with disabilities in programmes its delivers and supports.
