Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will work closely with FAO’s country office in Accra to integrate gender perspectives into agricultural projects, policies, and programmes. Day-to-day, you will conduct gender analyses, develop training materials for field staff, and support women smallholder farmers in accessing resources and decision-making spaces. This is a hands-on advisory role requiring regular travel to rural communities in Ghana.
Key skills to highlight
Strong analytical ability to translate gender data into actionable recommendations. Experience in participatory rural appraisal and gender-responsive budgeting. Familiarity with Ghana’s agricultural value chains (cocoa, maize, cassava) and local gender dynamics. Proficiency in English and at least one local language (Twi, Ga, or Ewe) is a major plus. Demonstrated ability to write clear reports and facilitate community workshops.
Taf4All CV tip
Add a short “Gender Mainstreaming in Agriculture” section listing 3 specific outcomes you achieved—e.g., “Increased women’s participation in farmer cooperatives by 30% through targeted training.” Use concrete numbers and mention the region (e.g., Ashanti Region) to show local relevance.
Before you apply
FAO never asks for application fees or bank details. Verify the vacancy on the FAO official careers portal (careers.fao.org). If contacted via WhatsApp or asked for payment, report it immediately. Genuine FAO recruiters use official email domains (@fao.org).

- •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.
