Established in 1963, the World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations
frontline agency in the fight against global hunger. In 2003, WFP fed 104
million people in 81 countries, including most of the world's refugees and
internally displaced people. WFP has been present in Cambodia since 1979. The
program initially began with a focus on relief assistance but this focus has
gradually shifted to recovery and rehabilitation activities. Through its
decentralized field presence, comprised of three Sub-Offices in various parts
of the country, WFP is well placed to address the critical needs of the hungry
poor. The WFP Country Office focuses on the following priority areas: education
(primary school feeding, vocational/literacy training), health and nutrition
(community based care for HIV/AIDS and TB patients), and disaster management
(food for work projects, community asset building, disaster relief).
The Fellow will be placed in one of WFP's sub-offices helping to
strengthen monitoring systems by contributing to the development of a corporate
wide monitoring and evaluation standard. The Fellow will also assist in the
capacity development and training of WFP and partner staff within the realm of
M&E and program methodologies. In addition to these duties, the Fellow will
provide input to program design and participate in the formulation of new
interventions. The Fellow is expected to spend both years of the fellowship in
Cambodia with extensive travel to the project sites.
