Job Title: Website Manager
Type of Contract: International Consultancy
Division: School-based Programmes
Duty Station (City, Country): Rome, Italy
Duration: 11 months
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
In early 2020, more school meals were delivered than ever before, with every second primary school child worldwide, or 388 million children, receiving a daily meal in school.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the incredible progress, which led to this unprecedented coverage, to a halt – 1.6 billion children worldwide were affected by school closures and 370 consequently missed out on school meals. This affected rich and poor countries alike and illustrated the great value of schools as platforms for social protection, health, and nutrition interventions, aside their obvious educational benefits.
In response to the impact of the pandemic and to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow, learn and thrive, a group of member states is forming an international School Meals Coalition. The government-led coalition supports governments and their partners to improve or restore national, sustainable school meal programmes, and strive for every child to have the opportunity to receive a healthy, nutritious meal in school by 2030. It aims to do so by pursuing three endeavours:
- Restore what we had (by 2023): Support all countries to re-establish their school feeding programmes to pre-pandemic levels
- Reach those that were missed (by 2030): Reach the most vulnerable in low-and-lower-middle income countries that were not reached even prior to the pandemic.
- Improve the approach (by 2030): Improve the quality and efficiency of existing school meals programmes in all countries.
WFP has been supporting the School Meals Coalition from its start and serves as a Secretariat for the coalition. This role includes the management of the website.
