BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
 
 
The World Food Programme (WFP) has extensive global experience in supporting governments to design, strengthen and scale sustainable National School Feeding Programmes (NSFPs). Under its School Feeding Strategy (2020&ndash;2030), WFP prioritizes national ownership by helping countries enhance systems, improve programme quality, and test innovative approaches tailored to their context.
 
 
Egypt currently operates one of the world&rsquo;s largest school feeding programmes, reaching over 13 million children. However, the model relies predominantly on fortified biscuits with limited nutritional diversity due to logistical, safety and infrastructure constraints. In line with national strategies, including Vision 2030, the Education Sector Plan and the National Food and Nutrition Strategy, the Government, through the Minister of Education, is exploring the possibility of shifting toward providing fresh, nutritious hot meals, reaffirming commitments made under the School Meals Coalition.
 
To support this transition, the Minister of Education has formally requested WFP&rsquo;s assistance in designing a scalable, cost efficient national hot meal model, covering operational guidance, infrastructure mapping, procurement and supply chain strengthening and the integration of lessons from global best practice. As a foundational step, WFP and the Ministry of Education and Technical Education (MoETE) will undertake a comprehensive mapping of school, community, and market capacities relevant to hot meal delivery, and to conduct a feasibility analysis to classify schools according to their readiness for transition during the 2026/2027 academic year.
 
WFP seeks the services of a Supply Chain Expert to provide specialist advice, analytics and contributions to integrated supply chain operations to ensure the design of effective and integrated supply chain approach that will inform the transition from snack based school feeding to a national hot/fresh school meals programme.
 
The expert should have broad experience across procurement, service delivery systems, operational design, contract management, costing, and logistics to support the development of a scalable and sustainable national hot school meals model.
 
The incumbent will work through the WFP Egypt CO in close collaboration with MoETE at central, governorate, and district levels to ensure alignment with national rules and regulations.
 
 
WHY JOIN WFP EGYPT?
 
<ul><li>Contribute to one of the largest school feeding transformation initiatives globally.
</li><li>Support a high-impact programme expected to improve access to nutritious meals for millions of children.
</li><li>Work alongside government counterparts, technical experts and international stakeholders.
</li><li>Apply your expertise to influence relevant national supply chains and service delivery models.
</li></ul>SCOPE
 
<ul><li>Thematic Scope: The scope of this assignment falls within the WFP&rsquo;s support to enhance Egypt&rsquo;s national school feeding programme, focusing on assessing the readiness of the system to transition to safe and efficient hot/fresh meal provision. For that, a comprehensive examination of the infrastructure and operational conditions required for such a shift to understand existing capacities for meal production, storage, and delivery. Based on the feasibility assessment, a collection of context-appropriate delivery models will be developed, including guidance on costs, staffing, equipment, logistics, safety, and nutrition standards. To operate hot meals at scale, there is need to operationalize a procurement and supply chain system capable of ensuring food safety and quality, predictability, and cost-efficiency.
</li><li>Temporal Scope: The assignment is expected to commence in the coming months and continue through the rollout of the programme for the 2026/2027 school year, subject to project timelines and funding availability.
