Project Coordinator-WFP AICS Home Grown School Feeding Program, Lilongwe, Malawi

Save the Children is inviting applications from suitably qualified individuals for the position of Project Coordinator to lead the WFP AICS Home Grown School Feeding Programme in Chikwawa District.

The Coordinator will oversee planning, implementation, and performance management of the project, which aims to improve food security and nutrition for 28,000 schoolchildren through the provision of diverse, locally sourced meals, while strengthening smallholder farmers’ capacity and market access—particularly for women.

Key responsibilities include leading work plan development, managing project staff and partnerships, ensuring compliance with donor requirements, and promoting climate-smart agriculture and sustainable natural resource management.

This is a great opportunity for a results-oriented professional with strong leadership, coordination, and stakeholder engagement skills, committed to linking nutrition, education, and sustainable agriculture in rural communities.

In the event of a major humanitarian emergency, the role holder will be expected to work outside the normal role profile and be able to vary working hours accordingly.
