Context

FAO’s Project Office in Sarajevo was established in 2014. All programmatic activities are led and implemented by two full-time staff members: National Programme Coordinator and National Administrative Assistant, with the support of a wide range of home-based International and National Consultants who are contracted on a project basis. From its inception FAO BiH operates under the overall management and operational and technical support of the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia in Budapest (REU). De Facto Head of the Office – Deputy Regional Representative for Europe and Central Asia, Regional Programme Specialist, Operations Specialist and all thematic technical officers extend their support to the Project Office remotely from Budapest and through regular field missions. At the moment the programmatic portfolio is rapidly growing. In 2022 FAO diversified its base of international resource mobilization partners, as FAO was selected as the Delivery Partner for the projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and Green Climate Fund (GCF), with another ongoing resource mobilization under GEF-8 replenishment window. The ongoing FAO donor-funded and core-funded projects positioned in the environmental dimension aim to strengthen national and local capacities in the land degradation neutrality (LDN), disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, UNCCD reporting and sustainable forestry management.
