Description: Rome Based Agencies
Global hunger is on the rise again, affecting over 690 million people – around one out of every nine people in the world. At the same time, multiple forms of malnutrition are threatening the health of millions worldwide.
Collaboration among the United Nations Rome-based agencies (RBAs), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP) is a core priority at local, regional and global levels. Achieving a Zero Hunger world (Sustainable Development Goal 2) is at the heart of their mandates.
The three agencies are working closely together on a long-term sustainable development agenda that transforms people’s lives and improves their food security today and in the future.
