Organizational Setting
FAO's commitment to environmental sustainability is integral to our strategic objectives and operations.
The UN Food Systems Coordination Hub (the Hub) was established in response to UN Secretary-General commitment to sustained, coordinated support for country-led food systems transformation following the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), convened during the 2021 UN General Assembly. The Hub is hosted by FAO headquarters in Rome on behalf of the UN system and serves as a system-wide coordination, connector and convening mechanism, supporting Member States in the design, implementation, monitoring and acceleration of national food systems transformation pathways.
The Hub operates through integrated coordination clusters and flagship initiatives, working closely with National Convenors, UN agencies, Coalitions of Action, Regional Economic Commissions, Civil Society, academia, youth networks, and the private sector.
The position is located within OSG at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy.
