What priority does the FAO’s technical cooperation program give?

The priority of the FAO’s technical cooperation program focuses on developing countries and islands due to their particular needs in agriculture, food security, and sustainable development. These regions often face challenges such as limited resources, food insecurity, and vulnerability to climate change. The FAO aims to support their development by providing technical expertise, resources, and policy advice tailored to their unique contexts. This support is crucial because developing countries generally require significant assistance in building agricultural capacity, improving food systems, and ensuring sustainable use of natural resources to enhance their resilience and economic growth. By targeting these specific regions, the FAO can address pressing global issues related to hunger and poverty, making a substantial impact on overall health and well-being in these areas.
