BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
Uganda faces an increasingly complex risk landscape with recurring threats from climate hazards such as drought and floods, which have devastating impacts on vulnerable populations and undermine development gains. Traditional emergency response mechanisms often struggle to cope with the scale and frequency of these disasters, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to disaster risk management.
Recognizing this challenge, the World Food Programme (WFP) in Uganda is scaling up innovative climate and disaster risk reduction services, such as disaster risk financing, early warning, and anticipatory action.
Within this area, WFP deploys a dual approach of strengthening Government shock-responsive social protection systems and capacities, while simultaneously integrating these services into WFP’s own implementation.
As climate and disaster risk reduction services involve and influence various programme teams within WFP, such as Crisis Response, Asset Creation and Livelihoods, Agricultural Market Support, Nutrition and Social Protection, an Anticipatory Action Coordinator is required to enable programmatic integration and coordination, as well as strengthening different teams’ capacities in implementing climate risk mitigation measures.
