Background The ongoing conflict in Yemen has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Over 80 percent of Yemen’s population is estimated to need humanitarian assistance, and more than 2.5 million Yemenis have become IDPs. The ongoing conflict has destroyed much of the institutional ability of key ministries, governorates, and local authorities to deliver essential social services to citizens. Public service restoration is also essential for a smooth transition to recovery, as a political agreement is being negotiated. Combining communities’ own efforts with whatever limited state institutional capacity remains are needed to both curtail further humanitarian deterioration and the political ramifications of total state collapse. Yemen is one of the most food insecure countries in the world. Around 20 million people (70 percent of the population) are facing hunger, a 13 percent increase from 2017. The current conflict has led to a decline in the national economy. Gross Domestic Product was cut in half since 2015, and more than 80 percent of the population living below the poverty line. The fighting around the country’s seaports and the ensuing suspension of commercial imports and supply shortages, the depreciation of the Yemeni riyal, which is now worth barely a third of 2015 level, have combined to push the food prices up. Only half of health facilities are functioning, and many Yemenis in need of critical treatments especially for malnutrition are too poor to access the ones that are open. Beyond those at risk of famine, many millions with only emergency food assistance to survive, face a collapse in their immune systems – especially children and the elderly – increasing their vulnerability to malnutrition, cholera and other diseases. Chronic water shortages exacerbate food insecurity and risk of famine in areas where people depend on agriculture for food and income. This heightened crisis is calling for scaled-up support to address the immediate needs while also leveraging and enhancing national capacities and systems for resilience-building for populations in Yemen with increased vulnerabilities that can complement a largely insufficient humanitarian response and at the same time for the need to maintain the existing capacities and mechanisms at local and national level to maintain the foundation for future reconstruction and recovery. The World Bank funded projects aim to Improve access to food and, nutritious diets, social protection, economic opportunities, food security and effective management of water sector in Yemen. This is done through several activities including infrastructure rehabilitation, support to improve agriculture production and quality by reducing post-harvest losses and improving climate resilience and access to markets While ensuring direct support in a fragile context, UNDP, in partnership with the WB is also strategizing to ensure that short term benefits are translated into longer term development impact. Position Purpose UNDP is seeking to recruit a Chief Technical Advisor to manage three World Bank funded projects. S/he shall work under guidance of the Deputy Resident Representative for Programme, and shall provide strategic advice and technical oversight for the projects under his/her responsibility to ensure that all outputs are of high quality and consistent with the delivery of results according to the Project Documents and Project Result Frameworks and will provide coordination and technical guidance to projects team consisting for successful implementation of the outputs and activities. He/she shall engage proactively with Yemeni institutions partners and provide guidance on further engagement and programme development. The Chief Technical Advisor shall keep abreast of good international practices in the area of projects under responsibility and integrate/build similar practices within the projects, build and manage partnerships, facilitate knowledge management and sharing and support and facilitate the elaboration of other initiatives of UNDP. UNDP adopts a portfolio approach to accommodate changing business needs and leverage linkages across interventions to achieve its strategic goals. This is a recognition of interconnected nature of development risks & crises that the world is facing and that call for assembling of multidisciplinary teams for an integrated & systemic response. Therefore, UNDP personnel are expected to work across issues, units, functions, teams and projects in multidisciplinary teams in order to enhance and enable horizontal collaboration. UNDP is an implementing partner for the World Bank for a number of projects. This CTA will work as a senior advisor to management and all project managers on partnership with World Band and will be responsible for the management of three WB Projects: Yemen Food Security Response and Resilience Project which aims at improving the availability of and access to food and nutritious diets, both in the short and medium term, for targeted households Yemen’s capacity to respond to food insecurity.

The Country Office’s communications approach is structured around four complementary areas: internal communications, community engagement, local media, and external media/fundraising. Together, these areas aim to strengthen alignment across the office, improve two-way communication with communities, support preparedness around programme changes, address misinformation, and generate stronger evidence-based content for advocacy, visibility and resource mobilization.

Support community engagement by developing communication materials for affected populations, working with Field Offices, Cooperating Partners, Programmes and Monitoring and Learning to ensure that communities receive timely, consistent and accessible information on WFP assistance and programme changes. Strengthen two-way communication with communities by supporting the documentation, analysis and use of feedback, questions, concerns and rumours gathered through field teams, cooperating partners, community feedback mechanisms and other channels. Maintain and develop relationships with local and international media, journalists, fixers, influencers and relevant information platforms, while ensuring that media engagement is risk-informed and aligned with WFP’s messaging and reputational considerations. Monitor traditional media, social media and online narratives related to WFP Yemen, humanitarian assistance and food security, identifying trends, misinformation, reputational risks and opportunities for proactive engagement. Develop and implement a social media plan for WFP Yemen, using appropriate platforms, content formats and partners to increase visibility, explain WFP’s work, showcase impact and support advocacy and fundraising objectives. Generate and facilitate the production of high-quality visibility and storytelling content, including text, photos, videos and audio, with a focus on evidence-based narratives that demonstrate WFP’s operational presence, programme results, innovation and funding needs. Work closely with Monitoring and Learning, Programmes, Field Offices and Partnerships to ensure communications products are grounded in data, field realities and programme evidence, and that impact stories reflect both operational results and the voices of the people WFP serves. Support internal communications by helping staff understand WFP Yemen’s priorities, achievements, operational changes and key messages, while encouraging staff participation in visibility and storytelling efforts. Build the communications capacity of WFP staff, field teams and relevant partners by providing guidance, tools, templates and training on visibility, storytelling, branding, media engagement, community-facing messaging and risk-sensitive communications. Coordinate with Country Office leadership, Regional Bureau, Headquarters and relevant technical units to ensure coherence of messaging, timely clearance of sensitive products, and alignment with corporate communications standards. Prepare regular updates and reports on communications activities, media engagement, social media performance, community engagement outputs, risks and results to inform decision-making and support accountability.\ Contribute to preparedness and risk management by ensuring communications considerations are integrated into programme planning, distribution preparedness, operational changes and reputational risk mitigation.
