Release of FAO’s resource mobilization annual report, Resources, Partnerships, Impact – 2019
Second annual report stresses the need for continued investments and partnerships to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and deliver a resounding impact on the ground
The second edition of FAO’s resource mobilization annual report, Resources, Partnerships, Impact – 2019, seeks to communicate, in a transparent and accountable way, who FAO is, what we do, and how we work with diverse United Nations and other partners to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
To reach the ambitious targets set in the 2030 Agenda and lead global efforts to defeat hunger, continued investments and collective action will be critical. FAO, together with its partners, is tackling pressing and complex challenges every day – challenges calling for urgent actions that leverage FAO’s unique experience, knowledge and technical expertise.
The resource partner contribution trends, results and achievements contained in this report demonstrate both how FAO works to defeat world hunger, as well as how the Organization is adapting to changes in the development aid landscape, innovatively leveraging different kinds of funds to reinvigorate resource mobilization.
Persistent global challenges that exacerbate hunger – among them, malnutrition, threats to biodiversity, socioeconomic inequalities, technological disruption, geopolitical tensions, unprecedented urban growth and protracted crises – are explored in depth. At the same time, this report contains a number of human-centred stories from the field in 2018, laid out within the framework of FAO’s Strategic Programmes.
While FAO’s collaborations with our resource partners have been consistently and efficiently implemented for transformative results, more can and must be done. There is too much at stake for us to waver in our commitment to achieving Zero Hunger.
