In crisis contexts, we often hear about first responders on the frontlines. However, there are many others involved in longer term recovery. First responders and other humanitarian teams build local capacity, deliver aid safely and reach communities hardest hit by crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. One example comes from Lebanon, where humanitarian volunteers are supporting the delivery of the World Food Programme (WFP).

This year, thirty UN Volunteers have been deployed in support of WFP operations in the Arab States. Of these, 23 have served in Lebanon, taking up roles in monitoring and evaluation, risk assessment, nutrition, public information and programme support.

UN Volunteer Jad Bayram is an Operational Information Management and Performance Reporting Officer.  He contributes to knowledge products, including situation reports, country briefs, fact sheets and annual reports.
