Job Recruitment at Food and Agriculture Organization

ROLE: National Project Personnel – Administration (FFF) 

The FAO Strategic Framework supports the transformation to MORE efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agri-food systems, contributing to the 2030 Agenda for improved production, nutrition, ecology, and life for all. The Regional Office for Africa (RAF) oversees FAO’s regional food security, agriculture, and rural development goals by identifying, planning, and implementing priority activities.

Project GCP/GLO/931/MUL funds FFF Phase II from 2018 to 2025. FFF partners include FAO, IIED, IUCN, and AgriCord. Its cost-effective, demand-driven delivery method has reached over 900 Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs) in 10 partner nations. Building on its assistance for FFPOs and governments, FFF has greatly expanded its effect since 2018. Forest and farm producers and their organizations will be better equipped to engage in new cross-sectoral government procedures and offer landscape-scale climate response. More inclusive and sustainable business opportunities boost FFPO profits and improve rural poor social and cultural services. Women’s role in forest landscapes, value chains, and gender equality in producer groups are vital.
