Since 2010, all FAO's work has been guided by a Strategic Framework covering a 10-15 year period and reviewed every four years.
The FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031 has been developed in response to major global and regional challenges within FAO's purview, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This framework was formulated through an inclusive and transparent process, including extensive internal and external consultations, governing body meetings and informal consultations. It was approved by the 42nd Session of the FAO Conference on 18 June 2021.
