TYPE OF CONTRACT: Service Contract (SC)
UNIT/DIVISION: Research Assessment Monitoring Unit – WFP Tanzania, RBJ
DUTY STATION (City, Country): Kasulu
DURATION: 12 months
WFP celebrates and embraces diversity. It is committed to the principle of equal employment opportunity for all its employees and encourages qualified candidates to apply irrespective of race, colour, national origin, ethnic or social background, genetic information, gender, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, religion or belief, HIV status or disability.
ABOUT WFP
The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetime. Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need. WFP has zero tolerance for discrimination and does not discriminate on the basis of HIV/AIDS status.
BACKGROUND
The WFP Community Feedback Mechanism is designed primarily to operationalise WFP’s Accountability to Affected Populations(AAP), and more broadly to support the overall operations in its attempt to be more transparent and accountable to all stakeholders, including affected populations, partners, governmental and non-governmental entities, and donors. In order to ensure effective complementarity between the WFP CFM Mechanism, partner CFMs and inter-agency AAP mechanisms, initiatives and processes. WFP’s CFM is one channel through which WFP communicates with stakeholders, and is a mechanism through which individuals or groups can raise questions, share feedback or flag a complaint.
WFP stakeholders include: affected populations, WFP, cooperating partners, third party monitors, government representatives and service providers (for e.g. contracted transporters). To ensure effectiveness, WFP’s CFM is established in line with WFP corporate guidance on functional CFMs and is, therefore, enabled to refer allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse, harassment, fraud, corruption and quality issues. Please note, in WFP feedback is an overarching term to include a community or feedback provided by an individual or a group of people. Feedback can be formal (captured through specific mechanisms, processes) or informal (captured in an ad-hoc manner). All feedback requires the feedback loop to be closed.
This can only be achieved once the individual or group of people who submitted the feedback has expressed satisfaction with the action. A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction about the standards of service, actions or lack of action, of WFP or a partner organisation, or their employees. It is a criticism that expects a reply and would like things to be changed. In the context of this policy, a complaint is an external grievance made against WFP or a partner or any of its employees where the organisation has allegedly made mistakes, acted wrongfully, breached the codes to which WFP subscribes or failed to meet a commitment. Feedback relates to an expression of concern, a statement of thanks or appreciation, or a sharing of a question or suggestion.
