Gaining experience in international cooperation

The FAO Associate Professional Officers (APO) Programme is a starting point for a career in development and international cooperation. The Programme attracts young people from around the world who have demonstrated a commitment to development as well as academic success and professional achievement. Through a programme of structured learning and on-the-job experience, an APO gains international experience and contributes to FAO's mission of building a world without hunger.

The APO Programme is committed to the UN Millennium Development Goals specifically the goal of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger.

See the APO profiles section to understand more about about being an APO.
