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 lifetimes. 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.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
These jobs are found in Country Offices (COs), Area Offices (AOs) or Field Offices (FOs) and report to the Aviation Officer or the designate.
Job holders typically specialize in either air transport or air movement and at this level they work under minimal supervision taking responsibility for the completion of a range of processes and activities requiring some interpretation of standard guidelines/practices. Job holders are able to recommend straightforward courses of action to staff and may allocate tasks and support other staff.
In mid-2020, a sharp deterioration of the humanitarian situation in northern Mozambique led to an estimated 1.3 million people needing emergency assistance. The Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) expanded their area's interventions, which resulted in the capture of several district capital cities and intensified violence. Following HC/RC's request, UNHAS Mozambique was established in December 2020 with one staff, operating one 19-seater Let-410 short take-off and landing aircraft to three main destinations. After March 2021, following the Palma attack, UNHAS gets one additional Let-420 Aircraft on the ADHOC contract to support the humanitarian community in responding to the people affected by the conflict.
