Job vacancies at Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Ethiopia

Opportunity Overview FAO is hiring a National Operations Officer based in Ethiopia, with applications due by August 7, 2026. This role sits at the operational core of the organization's work in the country, coordinating the logistics, budgets, and field activities that keep FAO's agricultural and food security programs running. It is a national position, meaning it is open to Ethiopian nationals or those with the right to work in the country, and it is a substantial role for someone with solid experience in operations management, ideally within the UN system or another international organization. The Food and Agriculture Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations, founded in 1945, with a mandate to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security globally. It operates with over 194 member states and works in more than 130 countries. In Ethiopia, FAO is deeply involved in emergency agriculture response, resilience building, and long-term development programs, often coordinating with the government, other UN agencies, and local NGOs to support smallholder farmers and pastoralist communities. The organization's work in Ethiopia is particularly significant given the country's recurring drought cycles and the need for sustainable agricultural practices. Working in Ethiopia means operating in a country with a rapidly growing economy but also significant logistical challenges. Addis Ababa, the capital, is a bustling hub for international organizations and the African Union, with a moderate climate year-round due to its high altitude. The cost of living is relatively low compared to Western standards, though inflation has been a concern. For a national officer, the role offers the chance to work on high-impact programs while being based in a country with a rich cultural heritage and a dynamic working environment. The UN system in Ethiopia is well established, with a strong presence of agencies like WFP, UNICEF, and UNDP, creating a collaborative professional atmosphere. This role is for someone who thrives on coordination and problem-solving. It is not a desk job in the traditional sense; it involves constant communication with field teams, government counterparts, and suppliers.

UNICEF Ethiopia Job Vacancies 2026: Apply for Multiple Open Positions

Opportunity Overview UNICEF Ethiopia has opened applications for five distinct roles, each with its own deadline and location. The positions span procurement, field administration, disability inclusion, monitoring and evaluation, and creative media. The deadlines run from late July through mid-August 2026, so there is no single application window. Each role is a separate hiring process, and candidates should apply only for the positions they genuinely qualify for. The most senior role is the Procurement Services Manager, based in Addis Ababa, with an application deadline of August 18, 2026. This position oversees UNICEF's procurement operations in Ethiopia, which is one of the organization's largest country programs in Africa. The Chief Field Office role, based in Mekelle, closes earlier on August 3, 2026. Mekelle is the capital of the Tigray region, and this role involves leading UNICEF's field operations in a complex humanitarian environment. The Disability Inclusion Knowledge Management Consultant is a remote, international consultancy also closing August 3, 2026. UNICEF is also hiring Photographers and Videographers as consultants, with a deadline of July 31, 2026, and a Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation Specialist, closing July 30, 2026. UNICEF is the United Nations agency responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide. It operates in over 190 countries and territories, with a focus on child survival, education, protection, and inclusion. In Ethiopia, UNICEF runs one of its largest country programs, addressing issues like malnutrition, access to clean water, and education for displaced children. The Ethiopia office coordinates closely with the government and other UN agencies, including UNHCR, WFP, and UNDP, which also have active hiring in the country. Working in Ethiopia means operating in a country with a fast-growing economy but significant infrastructure challenges. Addis Ababa sits at an elevation of about 2,400 meters, giving it a mild climate year-round, with temperatures rarely exceeding 25°C. The city is the diplomatic hub of Africa, hosting the African Union headquarters. Mekelle, in the northern highlands, has a similar climate but a more austere setting, with the legacy of recent conflict still shaping daily life. International staff typically need a work permit, which UNICEF sponsors for its employees. The cost of living in Addis Ababa is moderate by international standards, though housing in expatriate-friendly neighborhoods can be pricey. The remote consultant role offers flexibility, but candidates should be prepared to work across time zones with the Ethiopia team. Benefits - Competitive UN salary scale, based on role and grade level - Health and life insurance coverage for staff and dependents - Annual leave and sick leave entitlements per UN regulations - Relocation and travel support for internationally recruited staff - Professional development and training opportunities within the UN system - For consultant roles, a negotiated daily or lump-sum fee based on experience Eligibility - Open to candidates with relevant professional experience in the specific field of each role - For the Procurement Services Manager role, significant experience in supply chain management and procurement, ideally within the UN or a large international organization - For the Chief Field Office role, senior-level experience in program management, field operations, and staff supervision in a humanitarian or development context - For the Disability Inclusion Consultant role, expertise in disability inclusion, knowledge management, and experience working with international development frameworks - For the Photographers and Videographers roles, a professional portfolio demonstrating experience in documentary or humanitarian photography and video production - For the Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation Specialist role, strong background in data analysis, results-based management, and M&E frameworks - Fluency in English is required; knowledge of Amharic or other Ethiopian languages is an advantage for most roles - Advanced university degree in a relevant field is typically required for professional and specialist roles - For consultant roles, demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality outputs independently and remotely Required Documents - Updated CV or resume highlighting relevant experience - Cover letter explaining your interest and qualifications for the specific role - For creative media roles, a portfolio or sample reel of previous work - For consultant roles, a proposed work plan or methodology may be requested - Contact details for at least two professional references - Copies of academic degrees and professional certifications How to Apply 1.
