FAO Partnership Programmes

The key to ending hunger is teamwork. If we are to build a world without hunger, men and women, young and old, from both developed and developing countries, need to work together.

Through its Partnership Programmes, FAO is working to create a broad, united front against hunger. Young professionals apply and develop their skills through direct involvement in FAO projects. Scholars and researchers focus their energy on the most pressing issues related to hunger, food security and rural development. Retired experts lend their expertise to ensure the continued high quality of the Organization's work. Technical experts from all over the world collaborate on hundreds of field projects.

Everyone benefits from these partnerships. FAO expands its network of expertise. Participants acquire useful field experience and a broader understanding of international issues relating to food security. Most importantly, the world's hungry gain valuable allies in the fight against hunger.
