National Agronomist, for Cambodian Nationals.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is implementing a project "Strengthening livelihood recovery of COVID-19 most affected rural communities in Cambodia" funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The project aims to promote inclusive and transformative COVID-19 economic recovery, ensuring food and nutrition security of COVID-19 most affected vulnerable households and a shift towards nutrition-sensitive, climate-resilient agriculture and food safety in selected targeted areas, firmly grounded in gender equality and women's rights.

The National Agronomist reports directly to the Head of Operations and technical oversight of lead technical officer in the FAO regional office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP). Under the overall supervision of the FAO Representative in Cambodia, he/she will work in coordination with the project's National Project Coordinator, relevant FAO colleagues, the government counterparts, and other stakeholders. The National Agronomist will work in close collaboration with the General Directorate of Agriculture-GDA, Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries-PDAFF, and project partner to provide training, technical advice and supports in response to the priority needs of targeted beneficiary households specifically in vegetable production.
