Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will work on integrating renewable energy solutions into Zambia’s agri-food and forestry value chains—think solar-powered irrigation, biogas for processing, or clean drying systems. Day-to-day, you’ll collaborate with smallholder farmers, government agencies, and private partners to assess energy needs, design pilot projects, and report on impact metrics. Expect field visits to rural sites and desk-based policy analysis.
Key skills to highlight
- Proven experience in renewable energy systems (solar, biomass, biogas) applied to agriculture or forestry.
- Familiarity with Zambia’s energy policy, rural electrification challenges, and climate-smart agriculture.
- Strong data analysis and reporting abilities (e.g., Excel, GIS, or energy modelling).
- Stakeholder engagement skills—show you’ve trained farmers or advised government bodies.
Taf4All CV tip
Tailor your CV by adding a “Relevant Energy-Agri Projects” section. List 2–3 specific examples, e.g., “Designed a 5kW solar drying unit for cassava farmers in Luapula, reducing post-harvest loss by 30%.” Quantify outcomes and mention any partnerships with FAO, UNDP, or local NGOs.
Before you apply
FAO never charges fees at any stage of recruitment. Verify this posting on FAO’s official Zambia careers page or the UN Job Portal. If asked for payment for a visa, application, or “processing,” it’s a scam. Report suspicious messages to FAO directly.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
