The World Food Programme (WFP)'s Future International Talent (FIT) Pool seeks to build a pool of highly qualified, dynamic professionals of all levels who wish to work in any of WFP’s countries of operation, including emergency duty stations.

Professionals, at any point in their career, who are looking for new challenges serving a humanitarian purpose are welcome to join the WFP family and give their contribution to the achievement of Zero Hunger.

WFP offers the kind of life-changing experiences you’re unlikely to find in many other organizations. Every emergency, disaster and crisis is different and requires a unique response. This entails creativity, deep respect for personal differences and close collaboration between every member of our global team to unlock solutions to the most complex challenges.
