FAO works to strengthen government and development organizations to
help rural men, women and youth increase their knowledge and skills to improve their
productivity, incomes and quality of life and manage the natural
resources on which they depend in sustainable ways. In so doing, FAO addresses
Millennium Development Goals 1, 2, 3
and 7 that relate to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary
education, promoting gender equality and empowerment of women, and ensuring
environmental sustainability, respectively.
Priority areas within the FAO regional office are:
|
|
Agricultural extension |
|
Education for rural people, including rural youth |
|
Communications for development |
The extension and communication officer also acts as the focal point for
coordinating activities relating to biotechnology.
