The Multilateral & Programme Country Partnerships (MPC) division supports fostering partnerships with national governments and development actors, including International Financial Institutions (IFIs), to strategically position WFP within the development sphere and mobilize new resources to achieve zero hunger and other related development priorities.

Within MPC, some partnerships officers focus on relationships with specific partners, while others focus on topic area clusters. This position supports the nutrition and human capital development topic cluster, which focuses on projects at the intersection of IFI/strategic partner engagement and nutrition/human capital development subjects.

One key ongoing project is the Cost of Food and Nutrition in Africa (COFAN) studies, a collaborative effort with the African Union Commission (AUC) which follows the successful implementation of the Cost of Hunger in Africa (COHA) studies in 23 countries since 2013. WFP and the AUC are working to expand the scope of the original studies to meet Africa’s changing food and nutrition landscape, and the methodology development for the new COFAN studies is well underway. In 2024-2025, WFP and the AUC will conduct pilot studies in preparation for the full COFAN rollout. The Junior Partnerships Officer will be responsible for managing this workstream under the supervision of Partnerships Officers and Senior Advisors.

Beyond managing the COFAN studies, this role will support both Partnerships Officers and Senior Advisors on a broad portfolio of ongoing and new projects within the nutrition and human capital development space. Potential projects and topics may include the South Africa Development Community Indigenous Foods Studies, local production of nutritious foods, climate impacts on food and nutrition, financing mechanisms for food and nutrition, and others. In addition to topic-area projects, the Junior Partnerships Officer may also support specific IFI partnerships as needed.
