Synopsis (short abstract) As an important UN agency, FAO is serious in embarking on the implementation of the UN reform including active participation in the UN coordination and collaboration mechanisms at HQ levels and the regional level. PSU has created a new unit, PSUU - UN collaboration, whose objective is to interface with the UN Sustainable Development Group and to strengthen UN collaboration at HQ, Regional, and country levels. One area of PSUU work is with the RBAs (Rome Based Agencies): FAO, IFAD, and WFP. FAO and IFAD are specialized UN agencies funded by their own respective Member States who form their governing bodies. WFP is the operational arm of the United Nations system for the provision of food assistance and a member of the United Nations Development Group with its own Executive Board of Member States.

    The Nepal Country Programming Framework (CPF) sets out three priority areas of the Government of Nepal (GoN) to guide FAO’s partnership and support, bringing together innovative international best practices and global standards with national and regional expertise. It aims at supporting the government efforts towards addressing sustainable and competitive agricultural production for poverty reduction and eradication of hunger and malnutrition; resilient natural resource management and agricultural production system; and inclusive and gender responsive livelihoods enhancement. The CPF outlines the key priority areas of FAO technical assistance support to and partnership with the Government of Nepal in period of five years from 2018 to 2022. The formulation process of this CPF (2018-2022) involved a wide range of consultations among national stakeholders including line ministries of the Government of Nepal, civil society, private sector, development partners and relevant United Nations agencies including the Rome based agencies (RBAs) . It also brought together technical inputs of FAO staff in both FAO Headquarters in Rome and the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok. This CPF document does not prescribe a rigid framework; rather, it can be revisited and adjusted when required according to the changes in government priorities during the period.

It is supported by annexes, including i) CPF alignment with other policy documents and frameworks; ii) a results matrix; and iii) a matrix showing resource requirements. The process of developing CP F involved broad consultations with GRZ and other stakeholders in the agriculture sector including development partners.
