Focal point
Location
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

Djibouti and FAO
Cooperation between the Republic of Djibouti and FAO has steadily increased since the representation was opened in 2008. Assistance has covered a range of areas concerning agricultural, livestock and fisheries production. Over the past decade, the country has been affected by a series of major droughts which have severely affected livelihoods, particularly in rural communities. FAO continues to strengthen its collaboration with Djibouti, emphasizing resilience and sustainable development initiatives, including projects targeting agro-pastoralists.
