Fraudulent links or contractual documents may require the provision of sensitive personal data or copy documents (e.g., government issued numbers or identity documents, passports or passport numbers, bank account statements or numbers, parent’s data) that may be used for identity fraud. Do not provide or send any of these documents or data. Please note we will never ask for photographs at any stage of the recruitment process.
  • Unprofessional Communication : Scammers may communicate in an unprofessional manner. The look and feel may not be consistent with the Deloitte corporate brand.

Job Description

WFP seeks candidates of the highest integrity and professionalism who share our humanitarian principles

Selection of staff is made on a competitive basis, and we are committed to promoting diversity and gender balance

Job Title : Senior Disaster Risk Management Expert - Tropical Cyclone and Flood Product Consultant

Type of Contract : Regular Consultant

Division : ARC African Risk Capacity

Duty Station (City, Country) : Johannesburg (with a possibility to relocate to Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire within the contract period)

Duration : 11 months with the possibility of extension

Reporting to : Director, Research and Developments Department (RND), ARC

African Risk Capacity (ARC) is a Specialised Agency of the African Union. The ARC Agency leads the ARC Group, a development finance institution that provides financial tools and infrastructure to help countries manage natural disaster risk and adapt to climate change. It counts 39 AU countries as members and is supervised by a ministerial level governing board elected by its Conference of the Parties. The ARC design and establishment phase was managed by WFP, under a MoU with the African Union, and WFP continues to provide administrative services support to the ARC Agency through an administrative services agreement.

In 2014, ARC launched its initial risk insurance product for member states through its financial affiliate the ARC Insurance Company Limited (ARC Ltd). ARC Ltd is a specialist hybrid mutual insurance company and Africa’s first-ever disaster insurance pool, aggregating risk by issuing insurance policies to participating governments and transferring it to the international market. ARC uses a disaster risk modelling software Africa RiskView to estimate the impact of drought on vulnerable populations – and the response costs required to assist them – after a season ends, and as it progresses, so that index-based insurance payouts, based on Africa RiskView, are triggered at or before harvest time if the rains are poor. In 2020, ARC expanded its portfolio by introducing an insurance product designed for drought risk in pastoral areas and launching the first tropical cyclone (TC) insurance product in Africa. Following that, a flood risk model was introduced in 2023. The TC model is capable of accurately estimating the risk and economic losses due to tropical cyclone events in SWIO countries such as Mozambique, Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Tanzania. The model covers hazards of winds, storm surges, and waves. It is the first insurance policy of its kind in Africa, offering rapid financing and early response to countries impacted by tropical cyclones. The ARC flood risk and loss estimate model supports a sovereign flood insurance product. Demand for this flood product has particularly risen among ARC member states following the 2020 flood events in Western and Southern Africa. Together the tropical cyclone and flood products will prove vital tools in safeguarding lives and livelihoods and making African countries more resilient to extreme climate events.

Responsibilities

A Technical Review Forum composed of high-level experts from globally renowned institutions has concluded that the ARC flood and TC risk models are ready for use in underwriting insurance policies. The TC product has been rolled out, leading to payouts for TC seasons in Madagascar, and preparations are underway to roll out the flood product in six African countries. Based on the recommendations from the TRFs, additional improvements to the products have been planned. In addition to continuous improvement of the two products, the ARC Group plans to expand its risk pool by reaching more countries and partners. To support this endeavor, ARC is seeking a Senior Expert in Disaster Risk Management with experience in tropical cyclonesand flood perils who can coordinate the development and implementation of flood and tropical cyclone products. The expert will have the following responsibilities :

  • Advise ARC on the improvements of the TC and flood products, ensuring that ARC models are based on cutting-edge science and technology, while also meeting insurance industry standards.
  • Coordinate the flood and TC product improvement works, ensuring that work is produced on time with the highest quality standards and meeting the specific needs of ARC and Member States.
  • Supervise the improvement and maintenance of the TC explorer and the flood explorer software, ensuring that the software components are delivered on time and with the highest quality.
  • Provide support to the R&D Director around the preparation, evaluation, supervision, monitoring, and reporting of service contracts related to TC and flood products.
  • Advise ARC team on the development of contingency planning standards and guidelines that define Member State eligibility criteria to take TC and Flood insurance proposed by ARC.
  • Provide training and capacity building to ARC Technical Working Groups to promote the use of the TC and Flood products as climate risk management tools for ARC Member States and their partners.
  • Contribute to the engagement with academic institutions, government institutions, AU and RECs services, UN Agencies, bi-lateral and multi-lateral financial partners, and private sector to advance ARC’s position as the disaster risk management institution of choice on the African continent.
  • Lead the development of research funding proposals in collaboration with other ARC departments, ensuring that proposal schedule deadlines are adhered to and that all teams and staff fulfill their responsibilities timely.
  • Develop the communication strategy around the TC and Flood products to ensure a positive reception of the products and that ARC is involved in the ongoing climate change mitigation dialogue and makes a positive and effective impact in the climate risk financing space.
  • Advise on political developments that could negatively affect the project objectives and develop strategies to minimize their impact. Contribute actively to the dissemination of ARC work on TC and Flood risk management to ARC Member States, international conferences, and meetings, as required.
  • Supporting the ARC R&D Director and ARC senior staff as required.

Qualifications and experience required

Education :

Advanced University degree (preferably a PhD) in Natural Sciences, Climate Change, Disaster Risk Management, Early Warning Systems or similar relevant discipline with a strong component on environmental processes modelling.
