National PPR (Peste des Petits Ruminants) Specialist
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to extract content. From posting: Organizational Setting description, Reporting Lines, Technical Focus, Tasks And Responsibilities, Minimum Requirements, FAO Core Competencies, Job Posting date, Closure Date, Organizational Unit, Job Type, Type of Requisition, Grade Level, Primary Location, Duration, Post Number, etc. Also some metadata like IMPORTANT NOTICE etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some statements about diversity, integrity, etc. Those are EEO/boilerplate; should be removed. Also "IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that Closure Date and Time displayed above are based on date and time settings of your personal device" maybe considered boilerplate? It's about closure date; but we might keep closure date? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include closure date etc in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But we need sections only when real specific content. We have substantive content: Organizational Setting (description of FAO SAP, coverage). That could be About the role? Actually About the role could be a summary of the position. We have Reporting Lines, Technical Focus, Tasks And Responsibilities. Those could go under Responsibilities. Minimum Requirements and FAO Core Competencies could be Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary). Responsibilities (tasks). Requirements (minimum requirements). Qualifications (maybe FAO core competencies). Skills (maybe not explicit). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: we have Duration (50 days WAE for 10 months) - that's schedule? Could be schedule. No explicit pay/benefits. So we should not create Pay/Benefits sections unless stated. So we can include Schedule section with duration info. Benefits none. Pay none. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details: Organizational Setting description, Reporting Lines, Technical Focus, Tasks And Responsibilities (list), Minimum Requirements (list), FAO Core Competencies (list), Job Posting date, Closure Date, Organizational Unit, Job Type, Type of Requisition, Primary Location, Duration. We must not repeat job title (not given). We'll not include headings for those metadata; we can put them in a short
under About the role maybe. But we need to follow rule: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Possibly Benefits and Pay omitted.
We must not create a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we include Skills heading, we need actual skill content. We have FAO Core Competencies which could be considered Skills. So we can put Skills heading with those competencies.
Requirements heading could contain Minimum Requirements.
Qualifications heading could contain something like education? But Minimum Requirements already includes degree. Could split: Requirements = Minimum Requirements, Qualifications = FAO Core Competencies? Or we could treat Qualifications as education/experience? But we have only one set. Better: Requirements = Minimum Requirements, Qualifications = FAO Core Competencies (though they are competencies). Skills maybe not needed; but we could put Skills empty? Not allowed. So we could omit Skills heading.
Thus headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule.
Check if we have content for each.
About the role: Could combine Organizational Setting, Reporting Lines, Technical Focus, Job Posting date, Closure Date, Organizational Unit, Job Type, Type of Requisition, Primary Location. That's a lot but okay.
Responsibilities: Tasks And Responsibilities list.
Requirements: Minimum Requirements list.
Qualifications: FAO Core Competencies list.
Schedule: Duration (50 days WAE for 10 months). Also maybe mention Home-Based? Primary Location Home-Based. Could include location.
We must not repeat job title. Not needed.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.

About the role
... paragraphs ...
We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details verbatim or close. We'll need to list items with- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Thus: About the role: we can have paragraphs describing Organizational Setting, Reporting Lines, Technical Focus, plus metadata like Job Posting date, Closure Date, Organizational Unit, Job Type, Type of Requisition, Primary Location. We need to avoid duplication. Ensure we include all. Let's extract exact text: Organizational Setting: "The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) Sub-regional Office for the Pacific (SAP) is a subsidiary of FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) in Bangkok. FAO SAP is directly mandated and responsible for developing, promoting, overseeing and directly implementing strategies with Pacific member countries to address sub-regional agriculture, food, nutrition and rural development priorities. FAO SAP covers 14 member countries in the Pacific: Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu." Reporting Lines: "The National PPR Specialist will work under the overall supervision of the Sub-Regional Coordinator for the Pacific Islands and the direct supervision of the Livestock and Animal Health Officer. The incumbent will undertake the duties below under TCP/SAP/4104." Technical Focus: "Provide technical and operational support for the effective implementation of TCP/SAP/4104, focused on strengthening national capacity for PPR surveillance, control, and progress toward WOAH-recognized PPR-free status, in coordination with the FAO SAP Livestock and Animal Health Officer and the project's International PPR Expert." Job Posting date: "Job Posting 18/Sep/2026" Closure Date: "Closure Date 09/Oct/2026, 10:59:00 PM" Organizational Unit: "Organizational Unit SAP - Subregional Office for the Pacific Islands" Job Type: "Job Type Non-staff opportunities" Type of Requisition: "Type of Requisition PSA (Personal Services Agreement)" Grade Level: "Grade Level N/A" (maybe minor metadata, could drop or include in short p) Primary Location: "Primary Location Home-Based" Duration: "Duration 50 days (WAE for 10 months)" Post Number: "Post Number N/A" (minor metadata) We can include these in About the role paragraph(s). Might be long but okay. Now Responsibilities: list of tasks from "Tasks And Responsibilities". We need to preserve each bullet. The text is a paragraph with sentences separated by periods. We'll convert each sentence to a list item. Let's extract sentences: - Conduct a desk review and situation analysis of the country's small ruminant population, movement patterns, and existing animal health surveillance and reporting systems relevant to PPR. - Contribute to organizing as well as attending the regional Capacity Building Training on Surveillance and PPR Disease Control Strategies. - Assist FAO officers or consultants in providing technical support and inputs to the Ministry responsible for animal health to review and strengthen existing PPR surveillance and reporting arrangements, including community-based surveillance approaches, and support improvements in the flow and timely sharing of surveillance information from the field level to the national level. - Support the collection of blood samples for laboratory testing where relevant to national surveillance activities and liaise with regional reference laboratories on sample submission and results. - Support the delivery of training for farmers and livestock/veterinary staff on PPR and small ruminant biosecurity through in-country training of trainers. - Assist FAO Officers or Consultants in providing technical inputs and support for the development and dissemination of PPR awareness, advocacy, and communication materials, and support FAO and the relevant national authorities in organizing and delivering at least one PPR awareness and sensitization activity for small-ruminant value-chain actors. - Provide technical support on strengthening key prerequisites relevant to the eventual WOAH recognition of PPR-free status, including traceability, surveillance evidence, diagnostic preparedness, and contingency planning, while supporting the Ministry and FAO with technical inputs that may inform future national documentation and dossier preparation. - Support FAO Officers or Consultants in maintaining regular technical communication with the FAO SAP Livestock and Animal Health Officer and the Project’s International PPR Expert; provide technical updates on assigned activities; and participate in FAO-led project coordination, monitoring, and reporting processes, as required. - Prepare progress updates, and a final consultancy report documenting activities undertaken, findings, and recommendations for the country of assignment. - Perform other related technical duties as may be reasonably requested by FAO within the scope of the assignment. We'll put each as
- . Requirements: Minimum Requirements list: - University degree in agriculture, livestock production, animal science or a related field. - One year of relevant experience in animal health, veterinary services, livestock production, or disease surveillance, preferably within the Pacific region. - Working knowledge of English - National of any of the respective five countries (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and Cook Islands) or resident of the country with a valid work permit We'll list as
- . Qualifications: FAO Core Competencies list: - Results Focus - Teamwork - Communication - Building Effective Relationships - Knowledge Sharing and Continuous Improvement We'll list as

Schedule: Duration and maybe location.
We can have paragraph: "Duration: 50 days (WAE for 10 months). Primary location: Home-Based."
We could also include that it's Home-Based.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like diversity statements etc. We removed those.
Check for any duplicated lines: Not needed.
Now output HTML.
We'll wrap sections in appropriate tags.
