28 March 2017, Rome--- In an example of how the UN’s three Rome-based food agencies are stronger working as one, staff from the Madagascar inter-agency country team were today recognized for their work to promote rural resilience and boost food security in the African island nation. The country team was selected as winner of the biennial FAO-IFAD-WFP award for excellence in fieldwork for its efforts in 2015-16 to support the people of Madagascar as they coped with the consequences of consecutive years of drought.
