FAO Award for Partnership

On 18 June 2021, the FAO Conference, at its Forty-second session, decided to establish a “FAO Award for Partnership” to recognise outstanding cooperation with FAO in advancing the Organization’s work by Members, other UN agencies or international institutions, academic or research entities; and civil society or private sector entities, including media outlets.

Nature of the Award

  • a scroll describing the recipient's achievements and/or award,
  • a cash prize of USD 10 000*


* Please note that the displacement of the cash prize must occur within 30 days from the day of notification.

The winning institution/organization should be one that can demonstrate how it has in an area related to FAO’s mandate:

  • engaged local communities and relevant stakeholders with the aim to improve people’s lives responding to their needs and rights and enhancing efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • raised visibility of the problem of hunger and malnutrition, communicating complex agricultural and economic issues to the wider public, and promoted successful solutions and projects for improved food security and nutrition;
  • presented an innovative idea, a new approach, or a unique policy that was implemented successfully and is adaptable to other contexts inspiring similar innovations within a given city, country, region or at the global level
  • developed an initiative that demonstrates evidence of impact in improving peoples lives ; and/or

Particular emphasis will be given to the human value involved in the achievements of the programme, i.e. the way these programmes have contributed in an integrated manner to enhance the livelihood, social inclusion and dignity of the poorest and most malnourished groups of a given population.

The Award is conferred for activities and programmes with remarkable achievements during the biennium preceding the current one. The Award will be presented by the Director-General to the individual or representative of the recipient institution during a special ceremony at the 175th session of the FAO Council on 10-14 June 2024.
