HQ16NF228-RFI Supervisory Skills Programme

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the World’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger in over 80 countries globally.

Funded entirely by voluntary donations, WFP continues to face significant and evolving challenges in being able to deliver more support through food aid and assistance, for more people as regional instability escalates, with less available funding for our work. WFP’s greatest strength is its dedicated women and men working around the world to deliver within these challenges. WFP staff provides access to nutritious food and promotes lasting solutions, often under security threats and risks to personal safety. It is within this context that WFP needs to build a supervisory skills programme for front-line managers to equip them with the needed supervisory and managerial skills. Our front-line managers are critical in ending hunger by 2030 (Sustainable Development Goal 2). They need to be fully confident and equipped to empower staff, drive high performance, enable creative problem-solving and reinforce collaboration internally and with external partners.
