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.

A methodology was selected so as to provide a consistent and robust approach to using GIS for data capture, interpretation, storage and analysis. This included the capturing of new coastal and terrestrial data along the Red Sea coastline in the timescale of the project and at an appropriate scale to carry out the site selection study. All spatial datasets are stored in the GIS at JFRC and are used where appropriate as part of the site selection and for the identification of potential areas for development.

Congo
Africa

The Republic of the Congo and FAO have enjoyed ongoing cooperation since the Representation opened in 1977. In 2013 the first Country Programming Framework was produced, specifying the interventions through which FAO is to contribute to the Congo’s development objectives through to the end of 2016. The CPF is in alignment with the National Development Plan for the same period and it enables the FAO country office to link with the UN Development Assistance Framework for the Congo while supporting the Organization’s Strategic Framework.
