WFP Secondment

Progetto concluso

The 2015 El Nino event is the strongest and longest in the past 35 years. Consequent drought and harvest loss have pushed 32 million people into food insecurity in Southern Africa alone. WFP's response, in the worst affected countries is budgeted at 782 million USD and coordinated by the WFP RB in Johannesburg. The overall coordination of the response is assured by the Southern Africa Regional Inter Agency Standing Committee (RIASCO). The seconded SHA expert will liaise with RIASCO on behalf of the WFP RB and COs and thus contribute to well targeted, synergetic and adequate action in food security for affected populations.
