FAO supports countries in achieving food security, improving nutrition, promoting sustainable agriculture, and enhancing rural livelihoods through policy support, technical assistance, and partnerships.

This volunteer assignment is supported by the Embassy of Switzerland in Tunisia, as part of an initiative implemented in partnership with the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) Programme to strengthen youth inclusion, with a particular focus on the inclusion of young persons with disabilities (2024–2026). Accordingly, applications from qualified young persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged.
