    FAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society Organizations 2013
    Also available in:
    FAO has been working for many years with hundreds of civil society organizations (NGOs, community-based organizations, professional associations, networks, etc.) in technical work, emergency field operations, training and capacity building, and advocacy of best agricultural practices. Over the past years, civil society organizations (CSOs) have evolved in terms of coordination, structure, outreach, mobilization and advocacy capacity. In this period, FAO has also undergone changes i n management, revised its Strategic Framework and given a new impetus to decentralization. Therefore, a review of the existing 1999 FAO Policy and Strategy for Cooperation with Non-Governmental and Civil Society Organizations was needed. The FAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society considers civil society as those non-state actors that work in the areas related to FAO’s mandate. It does not address partnerships with academia, research institutions or philanthropic found ations, as they will be treated in other FAO documents. Food producers’ organizations, given their specific nature and relevance in relation to FAO’s mandate, will be considered separately. In principle, as they usually are for-profit, they will fall under the FAO Strategy for Partnerships with the Private Sector, unless these organizations state otherwise and comply with the criteria for CSOs. These cases will be addressed individually. The Strategy identifies six areas of colla boration and two levels of interaction with different rationales and modus operandi: global-headquarters and decentralized (regional, national, local). The main focus of this Strategy is in working with civil society at th e decentralized level. In its Reviewed Strategic Framework, FAO has defined five Strategic Objectives to eradicate poverty and food insecurity. To achieve this, the Organization is seeking to expand its collaboration with CSOs committed to these objectives.

    FAO Open Access Policy 2025
    Also available in:
    Open Access can be defined as the immediate, irrevocable and free online access to information products by any user worldwide, and re-use that is free of most restrictions, subject to proper attribution. FAO considers Open Access to be an important practical application of its commitment to the collection, synthesis, packaging and distribution of FAO knowledge to the world at large, and particularly the populations of those countries where such knowledge may not be readily accessible. This policy advocates the application of suitable open licenses to FAO copyright material in accordance with the principles of openness and sharing envisioned under Open Access, and consistent with the mandate of FAO.Last updated February 2025
