About UNDP:
UNDP is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage applications from marginalized populations. We do not tolerate sexual exploitation, harassment, or discrimination.
UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels offers a spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in its Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in UNDP’s Strategic Plan.

The FACS Team works in countries of UNDP operation where it can have an impact on transforming systems, on improving the livelihood of farmers and their communities, and on protecting high conservation value forests and important vulnerable ecosystems.
