JOB DESCRIPTION

Organizational Setting

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) contributes to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda through the FAO Strategic Framework by supporting the transformation to MORE efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems, for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind.

The Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa is responsible for leading FAO’s response to regional priorities for food security, agriculture, and rural development through the identification, planning and implementation of FAO’s priority activities in the region.

In response to the growing needs of member countries, FAO and partners launched in 2013 the Water Scarcity Initiative (WSI) to support the countries of the NENA Region to cope with one of their most striking challenges: the pursuit of food and water security, for a sustainable social and economic development, under an unprecedented severe escalation of water scarcity. The WSI is a regional mechanism endorsed by the Arab Water Ministerial Council of the League of Arab States and aims at supporting existing regional strategies such as the Arab Water Security Strategy 2030. The WSI is supporting the NENA region countries to strategically plan their water resource management and allocation and adopt good practices to achieve water and food security.

In this regard, the FAO Regional Office for Near East and North Africa is developing a roster of experts on the following areas: (i) water accounting; (ii) irrigation efficiency and water productivity; (iii) water governance; and (iv) the water-energy-food nexus.

The incumbent will work under the direct supervision of the Senior Land and Water Officer/ the Delivery Manager of the Water Scarcity Initiative.

–    Water productivity assessments, including baseline (biophysical and economic), site level assessment, crop modelling (e.g., use of Aquacrop).
–    Evapotranspiration measurement and validation of remote sensing data.
–    Water-related infrastructure, utilizing the newest technologies on water harvesting and groundwater recharge, ensuring sustainable and climate change resilient water resources management.

•    Irrigation management, technologies, and modernization including:
–    Assessment of irrigation systems applied, and equipment used to reduce water use and/or increase water use efficiency.
–    Appropriate technologies for increasing irrigation efficiency.
–    Crop water requirements and irrigation scheduling.
–    Real water savings.
–    Institutional frameworks for efficient and sustainable irrigation water management.

The specialist will work in close coordination with the other members of the water Scarcity Initiative multidisciplinary teams. As such, she/he will be familiar with analytical methods and tools used for water policy evaluation and policy impact analysis.
