by the Ministry and supported by WFP and FAO, when the Government of Pakistan announced a national zero hunger programme aimed at reducing hunger and malnutrition in the country. This was followed by signing of letter of intent between the MNFSR and WFP, and continued collaboration since then. The proposed position is supposed to serve as the focal person of WFPs ongoing work on policy level support to the MNFSR, also in coordination with other UN agencies, particularly FAO and UNICEF. 8. Host Agency/Host Institute: World Food Programme (WFP) 9. Organizational Context: 1) Youth Volunteering Strategy On 25 January 2012, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced his Five-Year Action Agenda, which includes an explicit reference to the importance of youth and volunteering as a theme and priority. In response, UNV took this opportunity to engage with stakeholders to conduct a comprehensive review of its youth volunteer initiatives with the intention to deepen and expand its activities in this area. This provided the foundation for the UNV Youth Volunteering Strategy. The focus of the strategy will be young people themselves as engaged actors and agents of change, as well as on the communities they serve. As such, youth empowerment will be prioritized, with emphasis on skills development, knowledge sharing and youth participation in decision-making. It will be guided by key principles of inclusion, aiming to give young people of all backgrounds and orientations access to volunteering opportunities. Further, it will actively promote South-South cooperation. This specific Youth Volunteer position will be fund by the Brazilian Government through the Sergio Vieria de Mello Scholarship launched in August 2013 with the purpose to fund the participation of young Brazilian, recently graduated from university, in humanitarian actions for a period of one year. 2) WFP in Pakistan WFP is the worlds largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide. WFP is a specialized food assistance agency helping achieve food security in countries where it is working. Thus WFPs assistance to the countries includes not only support to the vulnerable households through assistance to achieve household food and nutrition security, but also collaboration with the host governments in building capacities to address hunger and malnutrition. WFP has been working closely with the Government of Pakistan, particularly with the Ministry of National Food Security and Research since its establishment in 2011. WFP has agreed to support the Ministry in policy level support including training on food security analysis, policy level visits, staff secondment and support for food security policy and coordination. Learning from Brazilian experience is of particular interest in Pakistan because of remarkable progress made by Brazil in achieving food security. Thus, WFP has also been in consultation with Centre of Excellence Against Hunger in Brazil, which was valuable in the Brazil-Pak seminar on food security and poverty alleviation held in December 2012. WFP is also the convener of the strategic priority area (SPA-6) on food security and nutrition, which is a joint initiative by the United Nations to support the Government under One UN. The proposed flagship programmes being suggested includes integrated programme to increase household food and nutrition
