Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetCelebrating 40 Years of Country Representations in Asia and the Pacific 2018

No results found.The formal establishment of FAO offices in countries of Asia and the Pacific began in 1977 – a legacy of Edouard Saouma, who served as FAO Director-General from 1976 to 1993. Saouma’s vision was a Food and Agriculture Organization that was working on the ground, side by side with the Organization’s constituents to better help them fight hunger and poverty and to do so concretely and demonstrably. He achieved this goal by agreeing with governments to post FAO Representatives in their countries and open official FAO Representation Offices there. Prior to this, and since its inception, FAO had been represented by Senior Agricultural Advisers – intermediates – based within UNDP country offices. The test case for the new model was Lebanon. In 1977 the first FAO Representation office was opened there. Within the year, the Asia-Pacific region established five country offices in quick succession. Bangladesh and Nepal were established in February, India in March, followed by Myanmar (then known as Burma) in October and the Philippines in November. By the end of the decade, a further five country offices were created in Viet Nam, Pakistan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Indonesia in 1978, in that order, and they were joined by Sri Lanka in 1979. Forty years after the first country Representation offices opened, FAO’s commitment and determination to work in partnership to help its member nations achieve zero hunger and food security, in an environmentally tenable and sustainable way, while improving rural livelihoods, is as strong as ever. This brochure formally acknowledges and celebrates these partnerships and their achievements so far. -
