Synopsis (short abstract) Achieving FAO’s goals to end hunger and poverty is a challenging and complex task. However, in an evolving and interdependent world, it is more important and urgent than ever before. Against a backdrop of rising food demand, persistent food insecurity and malnutrition, rural poverty, economic instability and climate change, we must be able to deliver impact on the ground. This challenge prompted a major rethink of how we do business, with a broad and inclusive process that st arted in 2012 and culminated in 2013 with a new strategic framework. Today, FAO is a fitter, flatter and more flexible organization whose activities are driven by the five strategic objectives described in this booklet. The process of strengthening our presence in the field and a clear focus on results is well underway.
