The objective of the TPM is to monitor WFP programs, provide data on the quality of implementation and monitor market functionality. The TPM conducting this exercise is expected to have strong facilitation, monitoring expertise and extensive coverage in remote and hard-to-reach areas in Somalia where WFP operational sites are ongoing.
Third Party Monitoring (TPM) providers will perform M&E support services for United Nations WFP, mainly for monitoring and survey functions. TPM staff will carry out their activities under the overall guidance of the WFP Somalia Head of PMLE, Head of Supply Chain and the Heads of Area or Field Offices. TPM field staff will be assigned to work on WFP operations on a full-time basis and will report directly to the PMLE and/or Supply Chain Lead of an Area Office/Field Office to which they will be assigned. The TPM, in consultation with WFP, will make available the number of staff needed to ensure quality monitoring in areas communicated by WFP.
