FAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger.

and health, fisheries, food and nutrition, food systems and safety, forestry, social protection, inclusive rural development, information management systems / data systems for monitoring and decision making, land and water, plant production and protection, and others.

participates in system-wide evaluation initiatives, thereby contributing to assessments of development and humanitarian
effectiveness by the UN system.
