Organizational Setting

The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) is a regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) established under the provisions of Article XIV of the FAO Constitution. Its main objective is to promote the development, conservation, rational management and best use of living marine resources, as well as the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

Data and information are at the core of the GFCM's mandate to support the conservation, management and sustainable use of marine living resources and the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Reliable, timely and harmonized data underpin scientific assessments, management advice, monitoring of fisheries and aquaculture activities, and the evaluation of conservation and management measures. In this context, the Data Team is pivotal within the GFCM Secretariat, ensuring the effective collection, validation, quality assurance and control, integration, analysis,



management and dissemination of data and information from across the region, for both fisheries and aquaculture. By strengthening data management, quality, analysis and accessibility, the Data Team enhances the GFCM's capacity to provide robust scientific evidence and advice, supporting informed and evidence-based decision-making, facilitating regional cooperation, transparency in data and information exchange and ultimately contributing to the achievement of the GFCM's strategic objectives.
The position is located in the GFCM headquarters at Palazzo Blumenstihl (Via Vittoria Colonna 1, Rome, Italy).
