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.

Gender is of particular interest in the sustainable management of wildlife as it relates to the use, attitudes, and knowledge of the resource. Different strategies are often needed to fully engage both women and men in wildlife-related management. This fact sheet shows the important role played by gender in wildlife use and conservation; it highlights key issues, experiences and knowledge, challenges and opportunities, as well as what is still to be learned.

Партнерство между Узбекистаном и ФАО динамично развивается со времени вступления страны в Организацию в 2001 году. Отношения сторон стали еще крепче с открытием в 2014 году Представительства ФАО и подписанием Соглашения с принимающей страной. Техническая помощь, предоставляемая путем национальных и региональных проектов, охватывает широкий спектр отраслей, включая диверсификацию сельскохозяйственных культур, улучшение ветеринарного обслуживания и производства продукции животноводства, усиление борьбы с саранчой и роста производства рыбной продукции.
