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.

New Zealand works closely with FAO in support of shared food and agricultural development and food security goals. Over the past five years, the country has channelled more than US$7.5 million into FAO projects, principally for emergency assistance in the Asia and Pacific region. Other areas of New Zealand cooperation – both in the region and further afield – include support to development projects ranging from food safety to livestock development.

FAO’s full office in Eritrea became operational in 1995, when the field programme at the time was dedicated to recovery from the devastation caused by the protracted war of independence. The focus was on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the agricultural sector and the resettlement of returning displaced people. Following this reconstruction and rehabilitation period, Eritrea began building its vision of development and set about capacitating and building public sector institutions to implement this vision.
