JOB PURPOSE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

WFP Ghana is transitioning from direct implementation to increased support through capacity strengthening to partners (government, CSOs, private Sector etc). Such support also includes institutional systems strengthening, policies and frameworks, as well as human resource strengthening. In the social protection sector, such support also entails strengthening systems that support the use of cash transfer programmes to empower people to meet their essential needs in social protection. There is potential for such programmes to also contribute to longer-term objectives such as digital financial inclusion (DFI) and women\u2019s economic empowerment (WEE), when deliberately designed to do so.<\/p>\n

As such, WFP has a very important responsibility to uphold and ensure that our collaboration on social protection is strengthened, and systems that support social protection are functioning to deliver the best support. More and more, capacity-strengthening thresholds are expanding, and WFP is committed to exploring all the thresholds to benefit all people living in Ghana.<\/p>\n

WFP\u2019s Ghana CO is seeking a Programme Policy Officer to support the strengthening of national and subnational entities that provide social protection, in close collaboration with the head of Social Protection and the Programme Team to support social protection activities within the upcoming 2024 \u2013 2028 Country Strategic Plan and support the harmonization of social protection across the other CSP pillars.<\/p>\n
