FAO Headquarters is located in Rome. It is housed in a big, white, rectangular building.

FAO Headquarters is an important place. It’s where about half of FAO staff work. It’s where FAO stores much of its information and it’s where it holds major global meetings. But Rome isn’t the only place where FAO has offices.

To provide better services to its Member Nations, FAO has established offices all over the world.

It has regional offices in:

• Bangkok, Thailand
• Accra, Ghana
• Santiago, Chile
• Cairo, Egypt.

It has sub-regional offices in:

• Tunis, Tunisia
• Harare, Zimbabwe
• Apia, Samoa
• Bridgetown, Barbados
• Budapest, Hungary

It has liaison offices in:

• Geneva, Switzerland
• Washington D.C., USA
• Brussels, Belgium
• Yokohama, Japan

It has country offices in more than 79 countries.

You get the idea? FAO is centred in Rome but for years now it has been moving staff to the countries it serves, perhaps even your country.
