- **FAO is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality, background and culture**
**- Qualified female applicants, qualified nationals of non-and under-represented Members and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply**
**- 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 the 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 Forestry Division (NFO) leads FAO's work in promoting sustainable forest management and providing leadership on the environmental, social and economic dimensions of forestry, including its contributions to poverty reduction and food security and nutrition. It liaises with member countries, civil society and the private sector in aspects ranging from development of effective forest policies to forest conservation and management issues and strengthens the role of forests in climate change mitigation and adaptation. The Division also collects analyses and disseminates information on the world's forest resources and on the production trade and consumption of wood and non-wood forest products.
Illegal logging of wood products accounts for a significant part of global forest-related trade which undermines consumer confidence in the use of wood and other derived forest products, especially those from tropical forests. Locally, it reduces sustainable and legal livelihoods, particularly affecting the rural poor of the world. In 2003, the European Union (EU) adopted the Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan, with Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) being at the core of the action plan. A VPA is a binding trade agreement between the EU and Partner countries and is based on a Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS). To enable VPAs to realize their full potential, it is necessary to accelerate their implementation.
The FLEGT Africa and Latin America Facility (FLEGT-ALA Facility), implemented by NFO, aims to support forest governance and law enforcement in 8 countries at different stages of the operationalization of VPAs: Cameroon, Ghana, Guyana, Honduras, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo. The Facility will assist partner countries to improve forest sector governance and facilitate the implementation of VPAs with the ultimate goal of ensuring legal compliance, leading to the issuance of FLEGT licenses for the EU single market, and equivalent export licenses to access other regulated markets. The FLEGT-ALA Facility is a component of the EU funded 'Support for the implementation of FLEGT VPAs’ led by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).
This position is located within FAO and based in FAO's Liaison Office in Brussels, Belgium or in one of the eight countries covered by the project/facility or at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, as per project needs.
**Reporting Lines**
The Forestry Officer (FLEGT-ALA Facility Lead Expert) reports to the Forestry Officer/EU Forest Governance and Value Chain Programme Manager, under the overall guidance of the Deputy Director of NFO, and works in close coordination with NFO Division and other FAO Teams and personnel dealing with supply chains, forests and climate change as well as national forest monitoring. The incumbent will work closely with Decentralized Offices and with other relevant FAO units.
**Technical Focus**
Forest Governance, Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS) development and implementation, Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs), Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT).
**Key Results**
Comprehensive technical and policy expertise to support the planning, development and implementation of divisional programmes, projects, products and services in accordance with divisional objectives and the FAO Strategic Framework.
