Mission and objectives

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger.
Our goal is to achieve food security for all and make sure that people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. With over 194 member states, FAO works in over 130 countries worldwide. We believe that everyone can play a part in ending hunger.

Join us in creating a #ZeroHunger world.

Context

The FAO Country Office in Nepal engages with a wide range of development partners, including bilateral donors, multilateral institutions, and international organizations, to mobilize resources and strengthen partnerships in support of national development priorities.

The Programme Associate will support the Partnerships and Resource Mobilization cluster in day-to-day activities related to resource mobilization and international cooperation. The assignment is designed as an entry-level learning opportunity for an undergraduate student, offering exposure to FAO’s partnership processes, donor coordination mechanisms, and programme support functions under close supervision
