Everyone who works for FAO is required to adhere to the highest standards of integrity and professional conduct, and to uphold FAO's values:

FAO, as a Specialized Agency of the United Nations, has a zero-tolerance policy for conduct that is incompatible with its status, objectives and mandate, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination:

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) contributes to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda through 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 Agrifood Economics and Policy Division (ESA) conducts economic research and policy analysis and provides evidence-based support to national, regional and global policy processes and initiatives related to monitoring and analysing food and agricultural policies, agribusiness and value chain development, rural transformation and poverty, food security and nutrition information and analysis, resilience, bioeconomy and climate-smart agriculture.

The Division also leads the production of two FAO flagship publications:

the State of Food and Agriculture (SOFA) and the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI).

This post is to support
ESA's policy monitoring and analysis activities, in particular - albeit not uniquely - those implemented as part of the Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) programme.

These activities aim at establishing country-owned and sustainable systems to monitor, analyse and reform food and agricultural policies to enable more effective, efficient and inclusive policy frameworks across a wide range of agricultural value chains in developing and emerging economies, with a focus on Sub-Saharan African countries.

One of the pillars of these activities is the development, monitoring and analysis of price incentives and public expenditure indicators.

In implementing these activities,
ESA teams work with government institutions, research organizations and other partners to pursue this mission.

It supports FAO's Strategic Framework , in particular its priority programme areas:
Transparent markets and trade (BN5), Inclusive rural transformation (BL2) and Innovation for sustainable agricultural production (BP1).

The position is located in
ESA at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy.

Reporting Lines

The Economist (Policy Analysis) reports to the Deputy Directory of
ESA, under the overall supervision of the Director of
ESA.

Technical Focus

Within the framework of
ESA's policy monitoring and analysis activities and those of the MAFAP programme in particular, the Economist will contribute to implementing policy monitoring by estimating and updating price incentives and public expenditure indicators and duly analysing and documenting them through analytical products, in particular policy monitoring reviews.

Through rigorous monitoring and analysis of indicators, the Economist will also play a leading role in identifying policy issues that governments may need to be aware of and may request
ESA to further analyse in-depth to inform policy reforms.

The Economist will then heavily engage with government counterparts and other actors in implementing these activities.
