ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT: Humanitarian access is critical to enable effective response to food security and nutrition crises in complex and conflict-affected environments. Due to its mandate, operational presence, and size, WFP is more regularly operating in complex contexts where humanitarian access poses a challenge to operating efficiently. Thus, the demand on WFP to strengthen its corporate and field level capacities to negotiate, maintain and improve access is increasing. WFP Palestine is operating in areas where armed actors, non-state armed groups and other stakeholders are present Operating in the same space in a highly dynamic and militarised environment has resulted in the unavoidable sharing of space between these entities and the humanitarian community. The current WFP operations in Gaza are scaling up throughout 2024 and 2025, with a corresponding uplift also required in WFP s HMI and Access capacity amidst the many challenges that currently exist on humanitarian access. Thus, the demand for WFP to strengthen its corporate and field level capacities to negotiate, maintain, and improve access is increasing. Background and Purpose:
