Mission and objectives

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger. The goal is to achieve food security for all and make sure that people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. With over 194 member states, FAO works in over 130 countries worldwide. Georgia became a member of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1995. The FAO Representation Office was inaugurated in Tbilisi on 4 November 2004, and a post of Assistant FAO Representative (Programme) was established. FAO mandate in Geor-gia is to support national efforts to promote food security and sustainable development. FAO priorities in Georgia reflect the objectives and priorities of the Government set in the strate-gy papers related to agricultural development. In essence FAO assists the Government in creating and implementing an institutional, legal and regulatory environment. FAO having experience and expertise supports Georgia in implementation of UN Sustainable Develop-ment Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Both the SDGs and FAO’s strategic framework are geared towards tracking the root causes of rural poverty and food insecurity in Georgia, building a fairer society and leaving no one behind.
