Project Support Specialist at UN FAO coordinating grant implementation, beneficiary follow-up, equipment verification, and payment processes.

Georgia

Message

At UN FAO, I coordinate implementation of an investment support and grant scheme, including beneficiary follow-up, grant documentation, equipment delivery verification, and payment processes.

As Project Support Specialist, I also support project documentation, stakeholder engagement, and the organization of trainings and events. I review grant budgets and supporting documents, prepare grant agreements, and track their completion with beneficiaries and project staff.

Previously, as Programme Support Specialist at UN FAO, I supported procurement and operational coordination, maintained programme records, and edited and translated project documents between English, Russian, and Georgian. I also prepared web stories and developed digital content with technical teams working in conflict-affected regions.

At Kakhetian Traditional Winemaking (KTW Group), I managed social media activities and campaigns, developed digital content, and coordinated photo and video production. My experience also includes programme coordination at CinéDOC-Tbilisi and festival coordination at Berlin Music Video Awards.
