an interesting question.
Perhaps part of the response could be a simple exercise with supplied data.
However, I agree with Dan McIntyre's comment in that the software is perhaps
immaterial provided the underlying knowlege of GIS is sound.
I would also place a very large emphasis on the importance of data
management (what I refer to as data housekeeping) and also actually
understanding what the data embodies. ie if you are doing ecological work, I
would use an ecologist with GIS skills rather than a GIS specialist
attempting to be an ecologist.
Perhaps at the end of the day, what is most important is finding someone who
is willing to learn continually, and to share.

PS, having worked with FAO from Rome but covering much of Africa, I would be
interested to receive a small note elaborating the project you are involved
in.
