Recent disasters have clearly demonstrated the need for nongovernmental organizations 
to have the ability to effectively implement cash interventions in the emergency phase 
by utilizing delivery mechanisms that can be rapidly implemented on a large scale. 
Delivering cash quickly, at scale, in an international context necessitates full 
management support, clear guidance, integration of internal business processes,

actions required to integrate cash programming with internal business processes, 
analyzing the feasibility of potential delivery mechanisms, and integrating cash transfer 
programming into the standard interventions implemented by the American Red Cross.

beneficiaries in the immediate aftermath of a disaster and can be applied for use in 
longer term programming.  The American Red Cross seeks a Cash in Emergencies 
Officer to advise the systems design and program implementation of this initiative. The 
Cash in Emergencies Officer provides technical assistance in cash transfer 
programming within the International Response Operations Center, building upon

mechanism toolbox (mobile phone transfers, vouchers, e-banking, etc.) via internal and 
external developers, and building staff capacity. Key counterparts will include internal 
business support functions including Finance, Business Operations and Contracting, 
Logistics, Technical Innovation, Response and Program Officers, and counterparts at

*FOOD SECURITY ANALYSTS
WASHINGTON, DC

Chemonics International seeks food security analysts with expertise in agricultural 
economics, livelihoods, nutrition, pastoralism/ livestock, and related areas to support the 
Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) III.  We are looking for 
individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the 
world.  FEWS NET III is the world's premier provider of high-quality food security 
analysis and early warning. Created in response to the 1984 famines in East and West 
Africa, this $200 million, five-year activity (2012-2016) aims to collaborate with 
international, regional, and national partners to provide timely and rigorous early 
warning and analysis of potential, emerging, and/or evolving food security issues to 
inform appropriate humanitarian response. The project covers 31 countries, with plans 
to expand over the coming five years.  Within the context of local livelihoods, FEWS 
NET professionals in Africa, Central America, Haiti, Central Asia, and the United 
States monitor relevant data sources (e.g., remote sensing imagery, price and trade data, 
nutrition information), which inform a scenario-building process used to project future 
food security outcomes.  FEWS NET then uses decision support products to 
communicate this analysis to U.S. government, U.N., national government, and NGO 
decision makers. These products include regular briefings to senior USAID staff, 
quarterly Food Security Outlooks, and Food Security Alerts.  FEWS NET staff also 
provide advisory support to regional and country-specific contingency and response 
planning efforts and in-depth studies related to livelihoods, markets and trade, and 
nutrition.  The food security analysts are members of the six-person Decision Support 
Group (DSG) within the Washington-based FEWS NET technical team. The team also 
includes senior management and livelihoods, markets and trade, nutrition, remote 
sensing, and communications technical staff.  The DSG has two primary objectives: 
facilitate development and communication of timely, high-quality, actionable decision 
support at the country, regional, and global levels and build FEWS NET staff and 
partners' food security analysis and strategic communications capacity. The food 
security analysts will collaborate frequently with other home office and field-based 
team members on technical guidance and decision support products. While their exact 
duties will be based on their background and expertise, their primary role is to serve as 
the technical team's regional focal points for food security analysis, decision support, 
and information requests for one or two geographic regions.  Within these broad 
objectives, the analysts will perform three primary tasks: Synthesize market and trade, 
nutrition, livelihoods, and other food security analysis for development of regular, high-
quality early warning information products. Illustrative tasks include reviewing field-
authored food security reporting, contributing to the monthly Food Assistance Outlook 
Brief for senior Food for Peace staff, develop and present technical briefings to U.S. 
government staff and other partners, and make field visits to support assessments and 
technical analysis.  Respond to ad hoc requests for food security and response planning 
analysis and other support for response and contingency planning processes. When 
potential or ongoing food security crises are identified, the analysts will lead 
development of analytical and decision support strategies to develop and communicate 
information on the crises, their causes, and potential response options to decision 
makers.  Provide technical assistance to strengthen data collection, analysis, and 
information dissemination capacity among host-country, NGO, and donor partners and 
field staff.  The analysts will provide relevant technical and geographic guidance in 
their areas of expertise and contribute to development of guidance materials in early 
warning, decision support, and reporting. They will also support activities to enhance 
field representatives' and partners' understanding of food security early warning and 
decision support processes.  Location and reporting: The food security analysts will be 
based in the FEWS NET home office in Washington, D.C., and will travel as required 
(up to 25 percent of the time) to provide in-country support to FEWS NET field staff 
and partners. The analysts will report to the FEWS NET decision support advisor and 
will work closely with other members of the DSG, technical team, and field staff.  
QUALIFICATIONS: Advanced degree in a field related to food security, including 
agronomy, agroclimatology, agricultural economics, nutrition, development economics, 
international trade, anthropology, sociology, ecology, agroecology, ethnoecology, 
geography, animal and range sciences, community development, land tenure, or other 
relevant area.  Minimum three years of professional experience related to food security, 
livelihoods, nutrition, economic development, or related programming.  Minimum two 
years of experience working in developing countries.  Strong household-level food 
security analysis skills.  Excellent writing, editing, and presentation skills.  Excellent
