**Corporate Background**
UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

UNDP is working to strengthen new frameworks for development, disaster risk reduction and climate change. We support countries' efforts to achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals, which will guide global development priorities through 2030. The key 2030 Agenda principle of leaving no one behind and stamping out inequality is at the core of everything we do.
- UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three main areas:
- Sustainable development
- Democratic governance and peacebuilding
- Climate and disaster resilience

In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women, minorities and the poorest and most vulnerable.

In 2010 UNDP launched the Green Commodities Programme (GCP) - currently known as Food and Agricultural Commodity Systems (FACS) - to improve the national economic, social, and environmental performance of agricultural commodity sectors. FACS works within agricultural commodity production in countries of UNDP operation where the programme can have significant impact on the livelihood of farmers and their communities and can protect high conservation value forests and important vulnerable ecosystems.

**Internship Office Background**
Since 2014, the Food & Agricultural Commodity Systems Community fulfils a pivotal learning, connectivity and knowledge management function towards the Food & Agricultural Commodity Systems Practice (FACS), the Good Growth Partnership (GGP), the Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration (FOLUR) Impact Programme led by the World Bank, the SECO Sustainable Landscape Programme (SLPI) and a growing
number of other initiatives.

The FACS Community is a safe learning space welcoming global change makers, local leaders and practitioners from international organizations, government, business, and civil society.

events etc.

Today the Community counts 400+ members from 32 countries working on 10 food and agricultural commodities, and is planning to double its size in the coming years.

Within the Food & Agricultural Commodity Systems Practice (FACS), and under the supervision of the Community Manager, the Community Intern supports all aspects of Community operations and assists the Community Lead, Community Advisors and Community Assistant in delivering key activities:
Actively promoting the Community, its digital platform and membership services to existing and future members, expanding, and growing the membership size, improving the visibility of the Community including all its learning events and ensuring that the platform is up to date.
