Establishment of One Global Shared Services Centre

The FAO's 27th Regional Conference for Europe, held on May 13-14, 2010, endorsed the establishment of the Shared Services Centre (SSC), which began consolidating administrative services in 2005. This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of services by reducing costs through a phased implementation across three hubs in Budapest, Santiago, and Bangkok. Reviews of admin services were initiated, and further analysis of operational hubs is planned to ensure transparency and involve regional consultations. The goal is to achieve significant savings and improve service delivery.
