FAO priorities in the region in accordance with the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031

The FAO Conference, at its 42nd session, unanimously approved the Strategic Framework for 2022-2031 through which it will support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by transforming towards more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agri-food systems to achieve better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life. FAO will implement the Strategic Framework through 20 Priority Program Areas (PPAs), which articulate thematic areas where FAO can contribute its comparative advantage and technical expertise. The four improvements and the 20 PPEs are based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A systems approach will be used, which considers social, economic and environmental development aspects and addresses relevant trade-offs. Action at the country level is an essential element of the transformative nature of the 2030 Agenda and CPEs serve as a pathway towards achieving the SDGs in line with national priorities.
