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.

Ghana and FAO
Cooperation between Ghana and FAO began when the country joined the Organization in 1957, and one year later the FAO Regional Office for Africa was established in Accra. Since then, FAO has been working closely with the Government, providing a broad range of support to the national food and agricultural development agenda. More recently, FAO has assisted the Government in implementing the country’s Medium-Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan and in formulation of the Ghana Agricultural Transformation Agenda
