Organizational Setting

FAO has established the Core leadership composed by Three Deputy Directors-General (DDGs), Director of Cabinet, Chief Economist and Chief Scientist with an Organigramme and a modular management structure that avoid silos and promote working jointly at all managerial levels in a cross-sectoral and global manner for a more efficient and effective Organization.

The Organizational structure is designed to create cooperation, both within FAO and by building up its comparative advantages to work with other organizations outside of FAO.

Heads of Unit (Offices, Centres and Divisions) are accountable, and each Head reports directly to either a Deputy Director-General (DDG), the Director of Cabinet, the Chief Economist or the Chief Scientist.

The core leadership member's function as a unified leadership team working jointly in a cross-sectoral and global manner, supporting the Director-General in all areas of the Organization's mandate.

Each
DDG and Chief is accountable for overseeing specific units (A reporting).

In addition, each has defined alternate oversight responsibility for a number of units for which they are not the lead, but provide support and replace when needed the primary person of the leadership team responsible, including when the primary person is out-of-office (B reporting).

The Director-General is establishing the specific reporting line of each Head of Unit to a
DDG, Chief Economist or Chief Scientist taking into consideration the background, skills and knowledge of the individuals in the leadership team.

In addition to these specific responsibilities within the proposed Organizational structure, each member of the core leadership has responsibility for specific transversal areas that require overall corporate leadership.
