    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is leading international efforts in the fight against hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. It helps developing countries and countries in transition to modernize and improve agriculture, forestry, and fisheries practices to achieve good nutrition for all. FAO Lebanon Programme is aligned with FAO’s global Strategic Objectives. Lebanon was among the first countries to benefit from an FAO Country Office to strengthen the Organization’s programmes on the ground. Established in 1977, the Office seeks to promote harmonious and sustainable development of the agricultural sector along with the national agricultural policy, in consultation with relevant ministerial departments.

    Agricultural technical education was established in Lebanon in 1943 by virtue of Decree No. 2106. In 1962, the agricultural technical education was affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture and the first technical school was established in Fanar, Beirut. In 1987, a law organizing the Agricultural technical and vocational education was issued. The MoA established seven Agricultural Technical Schools. The schools aim at reducing the unemployment rate in rural areas and increasing interest in the agriculture sector. Graduating students can pursue higher education or enter the agricultural labor market. However, the said schools needed capacity-building support for student trainings (aged 15 to 20 years old) with a revised curriculum for the three-year Technical Baccalaureate (BT).
