THIS IS FAO POST, PLEASE SEND DIRECTLY APPLICATION IN LINE WITH APPLICATION PROCEDURE AS OUTLINED BELOW. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a United Nation agency which provides technical assistance in Indonesia. Currently, FAO is running a project on strengthening quarantine control systems for invasive alien species (IAS) in Indonesia. This project will capitalize on all the resources provided for managing sanitary and phytosanitary activities and enable the border control staff to effectively extend their functions to prevent IAS introductions. Appropriate policy directives (including the formation of an IAS Management Council or Commission and a National IAS Strategy Plan) and robust legislation were viewed as necessary prerequisites for the effective implementation of pre-border, border and post-border measures against IAS introductions. The Government of Indonesia (cq the Agriculture Quarantine Agency (AQA) of the Ministry of Agriculture) regards the outputs of the project as filling critical technical gaps and has requested FAO to provide short-term expert and consultant services (including contracts with institutions), practically oriented training, items of equipment and supplies related mainly to training and networking that are necessary to reach project objectives.
