It serves as the technical arm of the African Union and leads initiatives that support agricultural transformation at continental and sub-continental levels. FARA’s mandate is to enhance food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture across Africa. Food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture (FNSSA) are policy priorities for many African countries and are integral to the AU/EU international development agenda.

Through EU Horizon Europe funding, FARA is implementing two key projects:
- StEPPFoS: Strengthening Policy Analysis and Partnerships for Food Systems.

Both projects aim to support FNSSA’s roadmap and create enabling environments that integrate R&I with food systems transformation efforts.
FARA is seeking a Programme Officer for Results Measurement and Learning to design and implement a comprehensive monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework for the StePPFoS and CEA-FIRST projects.
