BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DIVISION
The most vulnerable and food insecure people live in fragile, resource-scarce and degraded environments, in areas that are prone to climate disasters and exposed to frequent and heterogeneous shocks. At the same time, on top of growing displaced populations, food insecurity is increasingly becoming an urban phenomenon,



with more and more food insecure people living in urban areas, without direct access to land or natural resources.
Across these contexts, WFP’s main activities to address communities’ and individual’s long term food security and resilience, especially in the context of climate change, have been the Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) and Food Assistance for Training (FFT) programmes. Both interventions can address immediate food security needs through cash, voucher or food transfers. At the same time, FFA builds or rehabilitate productive household and community infrastructures, while promoting regenerative practices and techniques. FFT supports vulnerable people with the needed technical skills to access market-driven income opportunities.
Since 2013 such programmes have helped millions of people each year across more than 50 countries. FFA has brought hundreds of thousands of hectares of degraded land back into productive use, planted thousands of hectares of forests,



and built scores of wells, ponds and feeder roads. FFT has been instrumental in improving communities’ -and especially women’s
- income access through technical and vocational trainings productive equipment, access to financial capital and products, market linkages, and job placement support.
WFP’s Asset Creation Livelihoods and Regenerative Practices Team, within the Climate and Resilience Service (PPGR) would like to provide the opportunity to two motivated and proactive individuals graduating, or that have recently graduated to be exposed to and directly contribute to the challenging yet rewarding work of the FFA and FFT workstreams. One intern will be focusing on FFA and the other one on FFT.
