Organizational Setting

The Food Systems Summit (FSS), held during the 2021 UN General Assembly, set the stage for global food systems transformation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

Under the leadership of the Secretary-General, the FSS made it clear that transformative action in food systems is fundamental to achieving the SDGs.

As a follow up to the Summit, the UN Secretary-General has committed the UN system to establish a UN Food Systems Coordination Hub to support countries implementing food system transformation pathways towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.

The hub is hosted by FAO in Rome on behalf of the UN System.

Its role is to facilitate the identification of support services and set up a system to coordinate support to countries, by UN agencies and other actors of the Ecosystem of Support.

The post is located in the Office of Sustainable Development Goals (OSG) in Rome, Italy.

Technical Focus
The Hub will stimulate and support action for SDG-based food systems transformations towards acceleration of the 2030 Agenda.

The Hub's mission will be to serve countries through systemic, country-driven, customized support in translating their commitments into effective actions to reach economic, social and environmentally sustainable food systems by 2030.

The Hub will act as the independent, critical nexus point inside the UN System in relation to food systems and the 2030 Agenda.

The Hub will focus on leveraging the broad range of assets of the UN system - particularly within the context of the repositioning of the UN development system - and existing SDG reporting structures to demonstrate progress.

The Hub will act as a coordinator and connector among diverse constituencies to support national progress on the SDGs and being responsive to country priorities.
