Position Description
The FEWS NET DST is responsible for providing decision support to the USG in over 40 countries located in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

These knowledge products are essential for the FEWS NET DST’s capacity to conduct acute food insecurity analysis and projections.

This analysis allows for an integrated and sophisticated predictive
