Organizational Setting The Partnerships Division (PSP) is responsible for coordinating and overseeing the identification, strengthening and stewardship of strategic partnerships with non-state actors in support of FAO's Strategic Objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including parliamentarians, civil society, private sector, academia and research institutions, family farmers’ and indigenous peoples’ organizations, through developing capacities, fostering dialogues, sharing knowledge, scaling up programmes and advocating for FAO’s corporate positions. It ensures that multi-stakeholder processes and engagements at global, regional and country level are an integral part of FAO’s work, and provides targeted support to ensure secure tenure rights and capacity development (including through e-learning programmes) to contribute to the SDGs. It drives the development of FAO’s blended finance models, mobilizes resources from the private sector to advocate responsible agricultural investments and sustainable development to move the 2030 agenda forward, and promotes the Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI). The Division has the lead responsibility for the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT), the UN Decade of Family Farming (2019-2028), the FAO Policy on Indigenous Peoples, and the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact. The Organization frequently engages specialists to work on regular programme activities and/or projects as Consultants or Personal Service Agreement (PSA) Subscribers, who provide qualified and competent technical support services for the performance of specific impermanent assignments. These assignments, – lasting from one up to eleven months, – may require the discharge of full-time or part-time duties from the home station, or in various locations including possibly Rome headquarters and/or duty travels. Any possibility of eventual extensions would be subject to compliance with the FAO Manual, a continuing demand for the services, the availability of FAO budget resources, and satisfactory performance of the incumbent. The objective of this global Call for Expression of Interest (EOI) is to attract suitable individuals to carry out B-level Consultancies and/or PSA Subscriptions in the thematic areas of land tenure and tenure governance reform, undertaken by the Land Tenure Unit (PSPL) within PSP. Only individuals meeting or exceeding the requirements of the EOI will be contacted and interviewed.
