Background and Rationale
============================
Eastern Chad is at the centre of a complex and protracted refugee situation that has been further intensified by continued displacement from Sudan. Refugees are hosted across camps and settlements where access to livelihoods, basic services, markets and natural resources remains constrained. WFP continues to provide lifesaving food, cash and nutrition assistance while supporting the Country Office and partners to move progressively from broad status-based assistance to a more targeted, needs-driven and resilience-oriented model.
The programmatic transition requires careful sequencing. Assistance must remain responsive to the most severe food and essential-needs gaps, while households with recovery potential are linked to livelihoods, economic inclusion, social protection and resilience opportunities. The transition therefore depends on coordinated planning across Programme, RAM/VAM, CBT, Nutrition, Protection and AAP, Supply Chain, Finance, Technology, Partnerships, field offices and cooperating partners, as well as close engagement with Government counterparts, UNHCR, OCHA, FAO and other operational actors.
The consultancy will be undertaken during a period of heightened preparedness needs. Continued instability in Sudan may generate new refugee movements into Eastern Chad, while drought-related agroclimatic stress, market pressure, water deficits and fragile pastoral livelihoods may worsen food insecurity and nutrition risks. Over 11 months, the Consultant will provide sustained capacity to move from planning to implementation, monitor progress and risks, resolve field-level bottlenecks, institutionalize practical tools and coordination arrangements, and support adaptive management as operational conditions evolve.
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE
The Consultant will support delivery and coordination rather than create parallel systems. All outputs should strengthen existing Country Office structures, field-office ownership and partner accountability.
PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
The purpose of this 11-month Consultant Level 2 assignment is to reinforce WFP Chad's capacity to coordinate, implement, monitor and progressively consolidate three interrelated priorities:
1. Prepare and support implementation of food and cash assistance in the context of the transition from status-based to vulnerability-based assistance for refugees in Eastern Chad.
2. Coordinate with the wider Programme team to ensure that eligible refugees and vulnerable host communities are appropriately integrated into resilience-building and self-reliance activities.
3. Ensure that preparedness measures, stakeholder arrangements and operational tools are in place for potential new refugee influxes and drought-related emergencies.
ASSIGMENT OBJECTIVES
Objective
Intended result
1\. Transition coordination
A coordinated, risk-informed and field-ready approach for vulnerability-based food and cash assistance, with clear roles, timelines, escalation mechanisms and communication arrangements.
2\. Resilience integration
Practical and sequenced pathways for linking refugees and vulnerable host communities to livelihoods, resilience, economic inclusion and relevant social protection opportunities.
3\. Emergency preparedness
Updated and actionable readiness measures for new refugee influxes and drought, including scenarios, triggers, responsibilities, minimum preparedness actions and identified resource gaps.
SCOPE OF WORK AND KEY RESPONSABILITIES
4.1 Coordination of the Transition to Vulnerability-Based Assistance
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Consultant will provide day-to-day operational support to translate the approved transition direction into coordinated implementation. Key responsibilities include:
· Coordinate a cross-functional transition workplan with Programme, Emergency, RAM/VAM, CBT and beneficiary management, Nutrition, Protection and AAP, Supply Chain, Finance, Technology, Partnerships and Field Offices.
· Support the conversion of vulnerability analysis and approved prioritization decisions into practical assistance arrangements, including sequencing by location, modality readiness, transfer planning and operational timelines.
· Facilitate joint planning with UNHCR, CNARR, relevant authorities and cooperating partners on beneficiary data, verification, referrals, distribution readiness and resolution of operational bottlenecks.
· Work with field teams and partners to confirm site-level readiness for food and cash delivery, including staffing, distribution plans, payment arrangements, commodity availability, equipment, accessibility, security and contingency measures.
· Support the definition and tracking of roles, accountabilities, decision points and escalation pathways across the Country Office, field offices and partners.
· Maintain a consolidated transition tracker covering key milestones, issues, dependencies, overdue actions, decisions required and responsible units.
· Support risk reviews related to exclusion and inclusion errors, assistance interruptions, data gaps, payment or distribution failures, access constraints, market changes, operational assurance, protection and community tensions.
· Ensure that community engagement and communication are built into rollout plans so affected people receive clear, timely and consistent information on eligibility, assi
