Organizational Setting The position is located in the FAO offices in Multan. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Pakistan focuses its efforts on poverty reduction food security sustainable livelihoods and rural development. FAO has partnered with the Government of Pakistan on research and development training extension services and strengthening of the staff capacity in planning and policy-making. FAO Pakistan under the Green Climate Fund is implementing a project called Transforming Indus Basin with Climate Resilient Agriculture and Water Management in Punjab and Sindh Provinces. The project aims to develop the country’s capacity to get and use the information it needs to cope with the impacts of climate change on agriculture and water management. The overall goal of the projects is to enhance the capacity of agricultural and pastoral sectors to cope with climate change by up scaling farmers’ adoption of climate change adaptation technologies and practices through a network of already established Farmers Field Schools and by mainstreaming climate change adaptation concerns and strategies into on-going agricultural development initiatives policies and programming. Modelling of climate change scenarios for Pakistan shows that if agriculture and water management in the Indus River Basin continue along a ‘business as usual’ pathway increasing temperatures and changes in precipitation will pose severe threats to the future livelihoods of farmers and the Pakistani agricultural sector. In response to this challenge aforementioned project will help shift Pakistan and Indus Basin agriculture from its current situation of high vulnerability toward an alternative paradigm wherein better information and farming practices will significantly increase resilience to climate change. To do this the project will develop the country’s capacity to get and use the information it needs to cope with the impacts of climate change on agriculture and water management by putting in place state-of-the art technology (Component 1); building farmers resilience to climate change through skills knowledge and technology (Component 2) and creating a wider enabling environment for continuous adaptation and expanded sustainable uptake of climate-resilient approaches (Component 3).

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child hope UNICEF Ukraine Робота в ЮНІСЕФ – це нові можливості! - YouTube The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child everywhere in everything the organization does — in programs in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive develop and reach their full potential without discrimination bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social political economic civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children which is the universal mandate of UNICEF as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
