The Haiti Country Office is recruiting a consultant to oversee the microinsurance program.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

Haiti is currently facing an acute humanitarian crisis resulting from a series of shocks since 2017. Non-state armed groups have reached unprecedented levels of violence and subject those around them to kidnapping, sexual and gender-based violence and other forms of predation. They also deprive people of essential services by hijacking key assets such as fuel, bringing the economy to a standstill. As a result, food insecurity has tripled in three years.

WFP is implementing an ambitious Country Strategic Plan (CSP 2024-28), including a micro-insurance initiative.

ACCOUNTABILITIES/RESPONSIBILITIES:

Under the supervision of the Head of Resilience-Building, the Programme Policy Officer’s responsibilities will include:

• Oversee the sustainable implementation of WFP’s scaled microinsurance program in Haiti in line with the needs-based plan and implementation plan.
• Oversee the design of microinsurance products, providing technical support to the design of the pricing strategy and the product analysis.
• Support the development of insurance policies, along with the identification of distribution channels and cross-cutting linkages to other project components.
• Oversee the procurement process of both (a) the service provider and (b) the insurer with support form WFP HQ’s Procurement Division.
• Ensure that the insurance payouts are delivered in a timely and safe manner, in collaboration with the insurance provider and WFP’s implementing partners.
• Develop knowledge management materials, such as normative and technical guidelines, lessons learned products and training modules for internal and external audiences.
• Work with the insurance provider on raising-awareness in local communities, with the goal of persuading community members to contribute to the insurance premiums.
• Mobilise funds for the micro-insurance activities and ensure that funds are managed efficiently in compliance with WFP’s corporate policies.
• Strengthen WFP’s partnership with government partnerships on micro-insurance. Support the life cycle of Field Level Agreements for microinsurance projects, including project design, call for proposals, delivery, reporting and invoicing.
• Any other tasks, as needed.
