FAO Conference

The Conference is the supreme governing body of FAO that meets in regular session every two years. Its main functions are to determine the policies of the Organization, approve the Programme of Work and Budget, and make recommendations to Members and international organizations. In addition to being attended by all Members and associate Members of the Organization, it is also attended by observers from non-Member Nations, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations.
