Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will coordinate South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) activities across the Sahel, linking technical teams in Accra with field operations in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Chad. Day-to-day, you’ll backstop project implementation—reviewing reports, advising on agricultural best practices, and ensuring donor milestones are met while navigating cross-border logistics.
Key skills to highlight
Proven experience in multi-country project coordination, especially in Sahelian agro-pastoral contexts. Strong technical knowledge in climate-smart agriculture, food security, or value chains. Fluency in French and English is non-negotiable; familiarity with FAO’s SSTC frameworks or UN reporting standards will set you apart.
Taf4All CV tip
List a concrete example of coordinating a complex, multi-stakeholder project across at least two African countries. Use a table in your CV’s “Experience” section to show: project name, countries involved, your role, and key results (e.g., “trained 200 farmers in Niger; improved yield by 30%”). This mirrors FAO’s SSTC reporting style.
Before you apply
FAO never asks for payment or personal banking details during recruitment. Verify the vacancy on FAO’s official careers portal (fao.org/employment) and check the sender’s email ends in @fao.org. If in doubt, contact the FAO Ghana office 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.
