A Master's degree in nutrition, public health, or related field with at least 10 years of experience is required. Previous humanitarian field experience is critical.

### Strategic Analysis The Food Security and Nutrition Advisor role at WFP is a cornerstone in emergency response, directly addressing the acute needs of populations affected by crises. This position is critical because food insecurity and malnutrition are often exacerbated during emergencies, and effective coordination ensures timely and targeted interventions. The advisor's dual focus on assessment and program design enables evidence-based decision-making, which is vital for resource allocation and impact. Moreover, policy guidance provided by this role influences broader humanitarian strategies, ensuring that immediate relief aligns with long-term resilience building. In the global humanitarian landscape, this role bridges the gap between field realities and policy frameworks, making it indispensable for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) in conflict and disaster settings. As climate change and conflicts intensify, the demand for such expertise will only grow, highlighting the strategic importance of this position in saving lives and fostering stability.
