• FAO staff are subject to the authority of the Director-General, who may assign them to any of the activities or offices of the Organization.

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
FAO has been advocating and promoting an integrated and inclusive approach to forest and landscape restoration. FAO assists governments with the planning, implementation and monitoring of restoration projects while promoting sustainable development of nature-based or green and blue value chains.
FAO also provides support to empower local foresters and farmers and producer organizations to actively contribute towards the needed change under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Under the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR), 34 countries made ambitious pledges to bring million hectares under restoration. Germany is committed to continue its support to AFR to accelerate the transition from commitments towards implementation as more attention is needed to facilitate and support local communities and vulnerable groups to implement local action. FAO developed in collaboration with the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and World Resources Institute (WRI) a global project ''Achieving AFR with forest and farm producers to provide direct financial and technical support to local communities, indigenous peoples, forest and farm producer organizations (FFPOs) and micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs)'' to scale up and mobilize finance to enable and accelerate locally driven restoration action and to create related new or improved value-added businesses and income opportunities, particularly at local community level with a strong focus on women and youth.
The project will support selected countries to implement their AFR commitments. It will build on existing AFR strategies and action plans and related platforms and use existing (FAO and other) structures and mechanisms to fast-track implementation.
The project will focus on 4 main components with a view to mobilize further funding for AFR implementation, including through designing blended financing mechanisms: (i) Strengthening policy, legal and financial enabling environment for local communities, FFPOs and vulnerable groups such as indigenous people, women and youth, to engage in FLR and related value-added creation; (ii) Accelerating restoration action on the ground by local actors (indigenous people, FFPOs, local communities); (iii) Enhancing restoration-based value-addition and business innovation and incubation and (iv) Strengthening monitoring, adaptive learning and knowledge sharing at both local/national and regional/global levels.

The position is located in the Forestry Division (NFO) with duty station in the Regional Office for Africa (RAF) in Accra, Ghana.
