ABOUT WFP
The United Nations World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The mission of WFP is to help the world achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes. Every day, WFP works worldwide to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry and that the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly women and children, can access the nutritious food they need.
BACKGROUND
In 2012, WFP Burundi conducted a secondary data analysis (SDA) based on a desk review of all the information available and combined these different sources into a cohesive and comprehensive analysis of the food security and vulnerability status. Among the conclusions was the need to update the food security, nutrition and vulnerability data to better inform programme implementation. Hence, in 2014, the Burundi country offices working with partners conducted the Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Assessment (CFSVA). Whilst the 2014 CFSVA captured the changing food security and nutrition situation in the country, the volatile situation from 2015 meant continued changes. An Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) carried out in 2015, underlined the close link between high levels of food insecurity and the risks of natural shocks. It delineated communes that require long-term programming and household and community resilience building to address protracted crisis, underlying factors of chronic food and nutrition insecurity, and frequent natural shocks. However, since 2015 many food security dynamics and occurrence of shocks have changed. Seasonal food security monitoring show that high levels of food insecurity have become more widespread due to ongoing socio-economic & political crisis, poor weather conditions, high food prices, etc. In addition, food security classification in the ICA 2015 report was limited to food consumption, hence did not take into account the CARI indicators that include the level of household economic vulnerability and the depletion of their adaptation. In addition, new datasets have been collected since the last ICA including seven round of FSMS/EFSA, Nutrition surveillance, DHS etc. Against this backdrop, the Burundi Country Office in partnership with UN Agencies (FAO, UNICEF, UNDP, UNHCR, and UNOCHA etc.) and the Government Statistics Bureau (ISTEEBU) are seeking a well-experienced international consultant to conduct an ICA-Plus, updating of the Burundi Integrated Context Analysis done in 2015 with additional layers of analysis that were not considered in the previous ICA.
Job purpose
Conduct an Integrated Context Analysis of historical trends of climate and natural shocks (landslides, floods, drought etc), food security, market access, land degradation, land cover, soil erosion, population density in Burundi using existing WFP and other secondary data in order to identify patterns of vulnerability, priority areas of intervention and the most appropriate programmatic strategies in specific geographical areas- including resilience building, disaster risk reduction, and social protection and emergency preparedness - between government and partners.

The consultant will focus on such datasets including but not limited to; climate shocks (landslides, floods, drought etc), food security, market access, land degradation, land cover, soil erosion, population density) etc. The consultant shall be expected to undertake the following key tasks:
Collect data on actual shock occurrences, particularly natural shocks especially droughts, floods and landslides.
Collect or with assistance from the GIS Officer carry out historical analysis of remote sensing data of hazards based on rainfall, NDVI, etc, to determine hazards.
Collate food security and nutrition indicators available up and above that presented in the CFSVA, FSMS, EFSA, IPC, Crop Assessments, DHS, Nutrition surveys, seasonality, livelihoods etc so that at least eight-year trend and pattern analysis can be conducted.
Combine historical trends of disasters as well as analysis of environmental degradation to ascertain areas that are most likely to experience the greatest negative impacts from natural shocks.
Overlay the information above onto household food security, nutrition information, and livelihood data.
Map outcomes to show accessibility of markets via the transport network as well as the main settlements affected by recurrent shocks.
Include seasonality in these analyses to inform specific interventions.
Categorize geographical areas by shocks prevalence, chronicity and intensity of food insecurity.
Use the agro-ecological, livelihoods and land degradation data already collected and mapped in the CFSVA for further triangulation with food security, nutrition and shocks data sets.
Produce the ICA –plus analysis and report
Identify the data gaps that need to be filled for the SLP, CBPP and CBEWS.
Conduct a stakeholder consultation workshop to present the results and refine the ICA-plus report
