FAO Staff in Liberia for the first time in more than a decade left the premises of their office to converge in Ganta City, Nimba County for the holding of a four-day retreat.

The work of the FAO is grounded in giving technical support to governments and all institutions involved in agricultural-related activities. This is important for the sustenance of food security and the improvement of nutrition globally. Based on this cardinal objective, FAOR a.i. Bintia Stephen Tchicaya pledged the institution’s support to the Government of Liberia through the Ministry of Agriculture and encouraged Minister J. Alexander Nutah to see FAO as a major partner in accomplishing Liberia’s agricultural agenda.
