Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletin - FAO Near East and North Africa - June 2019
jun/19
2019Also available in:
On 25 September 2015, the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, underpinned by 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). FAO is widely recognized for its technical capacity, global reach, monitoring expertise and experience in building partnerships and shaping policy in support of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. In the Near East and North Africa region, FAO’s technical support is organized around three Regional Initiatives, which have been endorsed by FAO Member States to ensure coherent and integrated support to the countries in terms of SDG implementation. The SDGs are beyond any of us individually, but not all of us together. They demand action by everyone and call for new ways of working together. Partnership, solidarity, and a willingness to come together across geographies, sectors, professions, and disciplines are key enablers. This newsletter will further strengthen communication and collaboration between FAO Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa and all its partners, as it sheds the light on the common goals in strengthening the region’s food and nutrition security and promoting the sustainable management of the environment and natural resources. -
