Partners

In 2024, the Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to the Italian Republic presented his credentials to Dr. Qu Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), officially appointing him as Oman's Permanent Representative to the Organization. This marks a new chapter in a growing partnership. Since starting its activities in Oman in 2012, FAO has worked hand-in-hand with national institutions, rural communities, and development partners to advance sustainable agriculture, boost resilience, and drive innovation across the Sultanate.

Key areas of focus include ecosystem restoration, climate change adaptation, and mitigation in agriculture, fisheries and forestry, fostering synergies and balancing trade-offs to build resilient and productive landscapes.

Public Actors

FAO works closely with the Government of Oman to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our communication efforts emphasize strengthening partnerships, particularly with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources (MAFWR), to drive sustainable agricultural and rural development across the country, and with the Environment Authority (EA), to support the national agenda in adaptation with climate changes and mitigation of their risks.
