FAO 2019-2020: Opportunities to invest in sustainable development
2019Also available in:
No results found.The Business Development Portfolio contains FAO's most relevant programme priorities, inviting its partners to increase their investment in food and agriculture to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Portfolio is organized around 12 focus areas, each highlighting a set of programmes that demonstrates where partnerships can tangibly scale up results. FAO leads international efforts to defeat hunger and all forms of malnutrition. The selection of programmes has been thoroughly screened by FAO's Business Development Task Force, composed of representatives from FAO's Strategic Programme Teams and Regional Offices. The chosen programme Areas are based on FAO's Medium term Plan and Member expectations. They are clearly aligned with achieving the SDGs and reflect: - successful results to be scaled up or replicated elsewhere - new and innovative initiatives, and/or - a response to emerging global concerns. The Portfolio is dynamic and will be refreshed and updated as parternships evolve. -
