The post is administratively located with the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC).

The project, 'Sustainable Management of Tuna Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation in the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction', is one of the five projects of the GEF-7 Common Oceans II Programme 'Global Sustainable Fisheries Management and Biodiversity Conservation in the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ)'.

The overall Common Ocean II Programme consists of five projects: two global projects, which will promote more sustainable management of tuna and deep-sea fisheries, a third project that seeks to build capacity to improve cross-sectoral collaboration and coordination on key common ocean issues at global level, and a fourth project that examines multi-sectoral governance (stewardship) in a pilot area, the Sargasso Sea.

A fifth project will ensure effective coordination, communication, partnerships, lesson learning and knowledge management between the other child projects and support innovative financing initiatives for sustainable use of common ocean resources across the Programme (programme level focus).

The post is located within the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) in the Fisheries and Aquaculture Division (NFI) at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy.
