Required education level:Bachelor’s degreeOther information: Quito is the capital of Ecuador; its population is of approximately two million three hundred thousand inhabitants. WFP premises are located the central-north zone of the city, around 20 minutes by car from the commercial and business area. There are no specific residential areas for expatriates, but some mid/high-class neighbourhoods are in commuting distance from WFP’s offices.Quito sits at an altitude of around 2,800 metres, meaning travellers arriving from sea level experience a rapid elevation gain. This sudden change can sometimes lead to altitude sickness, which may cause headaches, nausea, or insomnia. If symptoms occur, they can usually be managed by staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest and taking aspirin. Travellers on medication should also ensure they bring any necessary prescriptions with them.Ecuador is classified as a Level 3 security risk by UNDSS due to high levels of criminal activity. To stay safe during your visit, we recommend the following precautions:· Keep important documents, such as your passport, in a secure place and carry a copy with you.· Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or displaying valuable items.· Use official taxis or trusted transportation services, especially at night.· Stay informed about safe areas and avoid high-crime zones.· In case of emergency, dial 911 for assistance.Although a private car is not mandatory, is recommended that foreign staff and visitors use taxi services, at least until they get familiar with the addresses and context. There are several taxi companies that provide safe door-to-door services.There is public transportation (metro, bus, trolleybus) in the main avenues and also in the most populated neighbourhoods. There are some dedicated lanes for bicycles, but it is important to consider Quito’s altitude (2800 MASL) and hills. WFP Ecuador premises in Quito are located at Citimed building complex. The building hosts several medical offices and clinics, so it has proper accessibility for persons with disability (ramps, elevators, wide aisles, etc.).Ecuador provides the opportunity to explore various environments and regions within a relatively short travel time and distance.
