The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, dedicated to saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build pathways to peace, stability, and prosperity. As the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, WFP operates at the frontlines of hunger, climate shocks, displacement, and conflict, delivering life-saving assistance while strengthening long-term resilience for vulnerable communities.
This recruitment round is particularly significant for Tanzania, where WFP continues to support government institutions and partners across disaster risk reduction, climate services, refugee operations, social protection, and programme delivery. A total of five (5) professional and support roles are currently open across Dodoma, Dar es Salaam, and Zanzibar, offering experienced professionals and emerging talent the opportunity to contribute directly to nationally relevant and globally impactful programmes.
