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 Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger.

Our goal is to achieve food security for all and make sure that people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives.

With 195 members (194 countries and the European Union), FAO works in more than 130 countries worldwide.

To this end, FAO implements a wide portfolio of projects, programmes, and initiatives across multiple sectors.

These include animal production and health, fisheries, food security and nutrition, food systems and safety, forestry, social protection, inclusive rural development, information management systems/data systems for monitoring and decision making, land and water, plant production and protection, and others.

FAO has a growing portfolio of work in the development and humanitarian (emergency and resilience) sectors.

FAO evaluates the strategic alignment, implementation, efficacy, and efficiency of its portfolio of work through its independent Office of Evaluation (OED), which is led by the Director who reports to the FAO Governing Bodies and to the Director-General.

OED evaluates FAO strategies, initiatives, programmes, and projects at global, regional, and national levels.

OED seeks to generate credible and useful evidence and insights to inform decisions, support oversight, and help FAO achieve its mission.

In so doing, OED advances knowledge and provides results accountability to both Members and the Director-General.

OED also participates in system-wide evaluation initiatives, thereby contributing to assessments of development and humanitarian effectiveness by the UN common system.

The post is located in the Office of Evaluation (OED) and based in Panama City, Panama.
