FAO in Ethiopia

Ethiopia joined the FAO as a member country in November 1948 and the Representation office was established in November 1981 with the arrival of the first FAO Representative. Prior to this date however, FAO's activities in the country were handled by a Senior Agricultural Advisor assigned to the UNDP office.

The Representation undertakes the following main responsibilities:

FAO Representation in Ethiopia ;

In addition the FAO Representation in Ethiopia to AU and ECA is currently hosting the FAO Representation in Djibouti a.i. The Office also indirectly assists in the implementation of the NEPAD and some activities in the Horn of Africa.
