A key objective of the FAO Asia-Pacific Regional Communication and Visibility Workshop was to better understand the requirements of COs and LOs so that RAP and OCC can better support Comms specialist in improving the visibility of FAO's role and activities.

    Information sharing is key to collective climate action. For the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), communication activities are an integral part of Green Climate Fund (GCF)-financed funding proposals. Climate investments are critical to both mitigating the effects of climate change as well as building the resilience of vulnerable people and communities to its impacts. Carefully planned communication strategies built into funding proposal activities will not only raise project visibility, but will also support the overarching goals of FAO and GCF. The communication and visibility plan is an integral component of the main project document; therefore, these guidelines should be used to help define the project’s communication activities as well as corresponding budget allocations, which are to be presented at the inception workshop. In essence, these guidelines are intended to support the development and execution of communication plans throughout project stages, from the inception workshop to project completion, and from identifying key objectives to measuring impact.
