WFP recrute 01 Consultant
Organisational context
The WFP West Africa region extends from Mauritania to Chad and along the coast from Cameroon to Senegal.

The costal countries have better socio-economic indicators and promise a degree of stability. However, these economies are nascent, and some instances built on fragile costal habitats threatened by climate change and are also dealing with rapid urbanisation and an ever-increasing youth bulge.
