The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) contributes to the achievement of the 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.

Organizational Setting
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) contributes to the achievement of the 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 Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment (OCB) works to ensure that countries and stakeholders respond to the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. OCB provides a cross organizational coordination role on issues related to climate change, biodiversity and the environment and is the focal point to major multilateral environmental agreements including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The Office also assists FAO Members in their responses towards the interlinked challenges of food security, climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation including through facilitating access to climate and environmental financing (such as the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF). In addition, OCB hosts the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Programme, the Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, as well as FAO's work on environmental safeguards.
FAO is one of the 18 Global Environment Facility (GEF) Agencies. GEF is a financing mechanism for five international environmental conventions: Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Minamata Convention on Mercury, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. The GEF is one of the oldest 'vertical funds'.

FAO's GEF Coordination Unit (GCU), based within OCB, assists Members in developing and implementing projects for financing through the GEF Trust Fund, the Least Developed Countries Fund (LCDF), the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) and the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF). In recent years, the FAO-GEF portfolio has grown rapidly to more than projects valued at USD 1.7 billion in grant financing.

The successful mobilization of GEF project resources requires further strengthening of the management of these resources. This applies to both GEF project resources, to ensure that FAO can also deliver the GEF portfolio and GEF agency fee resources, needed for FAO as key resources to carry out its portfolio oversight role. According to the agreements signed with GEF, FAO, as a GEF Agency, is responsible for ensuring consistency with GEF operational policies and procedures and administering and managing the resources. The GCU's liaison role between the GEF Trustee and the countries and technical units involves robust management (fees) and oversight (project grants) of the available GEF resources.

The GCU delivers a suite of essential functions, some of which are specific to vertical climate and environment financing, to manage and maintain FAO's relationship with the GEF and the broader GEF Partnership of 17 other GEF Agencies. Internally, the Unit provides expert advice to Project Task Forces, corporate units and Decentralized Offices, serving the programmatic needs of the fast-growing global FAO-GEF portfolio. It shepherds every FAO GEF project across its life cycle from identification to closure and provides key support to Countries in the programming and monitoring of their GEF resources. Within the corporate and administrative leadership, the Unit is responsible for the monitoring, reporting and management of the FAO-GEF portfolio, while the single Budget Holder remains accountable for single FAO-GEF projects. The Unit provides critical services across FAO for the central cash management of GEF project grants and agency fees (including the GEF fee allocation system for all FAO stakeholders).
The post is located in the GEF Team of OCB at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy.
