SLCAG's work program covers seven LAC Country Management Units (CMUs), and is led by a Practice Manager (PM), and a team of agricultural economists and specialists based at HQ in Washington, DC and across six country offices. The Unit manages a large operational portfolio and several analytical tasks. Looking ahead, in addition to Investment Project Financing (IPFs), there is a growing need for engagement on agriculture policy reforms through Program-for-Results (PforRs) and Development Policy Financing (DPFs), as well as Reimbursable Advisory services (RASs) and cutting-edge analytics to support the LAC agri-food system's green, resilient and inclusive transformation. SLCAG works in a collaborative manner with other GPs in landscape management, irrigation, fisheries, land use, nutrition, rural risk/insurance and policies. The focus of the team's work going forward is on the future of agri-food systems, green and resilient transitions, including inclusiveness, diversification of economies, jobs, agricultural competitiveness and linking farmers to markets, one health, leveraging the private sector, climate-smart agriculture, digital agriculture, financial innovation, resilience, and fragility and conflict, regional and cross-GP collaboration.

The Seniro Agribusiness Specialist will also support the broader strategic dialogue and engagements, in areas including agrifinance, agriculture risk management, productive allicances, agribusiness competitiveness, and climate change.

The Senior Agribusiness Specialist responsibilities will include, but will not be limited to the following:
- Play a key role in defining agri-food sector policy dialogue in LAC Countries, building and expanding on current activities, carry-out cutting-edge analytics, and provide strategic advice to clients, peers, and unit management relating to agri-food systems relevant themes - these could include policy and reform levers to inform macro-level agendas such as agrifinance, agriculture risk management, climate financing, and agribusiness development;
