Synopsis (short abstract) In Working together, the heads of the three Rome-based food agencies pledge to redouble their collaborative efforts to ensure the strongest possible support to the 1996 Summit’s goal. Each agency has a unique mandate – technical expertise, international financial assistance and food aid, respectively – and working together helps them to achieve their collective goal. Working together portrays some of the many ways in which the three agencies have strengthened their partnership and developed su ccessful interagency strategies to promote agricultural and rural development and make a genuine difference in the lives of the hungry and poor throughout the developing world.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is tasked with an ambitious mandate as outlined in its five new Strategic Objectives - to help eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; make agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable; reduce rural poverty; enable inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems; increase the resilience of livelihoods to disasters. FAO recognizes that no single entity can undertake the mammoth task of eradicating hunger on its own and has placed partnerships at the very heart of its operations. Strategic partnerships are a critical means to achieving results allowing FAO to mobilize the best available knowledge and capacities in working toward common goals. Alongside natural alliances with other UN agencies, FAO welcomes the opportunity to work with bi-lateral donor agencies, development banks, regional organizations, civil society organizations, producers organizations and cooperatives, academic and re search institutions and the private sector. These relations are governed by strategic documents developed in 2013 to provide practical guidance to both FAO and its prospective partners to ensure the best possible outcomes.
