Learn about FAO's strategic objectives and progress towards achieving them

FAO's work is driven by five cross-cutting strategic objectives that are closely aligned with the most relevant and urgent development problems faced by member countries and the development community. Together with a sixth objective focused on technical knowledge, quality and services, theses strategic objectives guide the work of the Organization in contributing to the eradication of hunger, increasing sustainable production, eliminating rural poverty, enabling more inclusive and efficient food and agricultural systems, and increasing the resilience of livelihoods.

The Objectives are cross-sectoral in nature, ensuring coordinated action and greater synergy and alignment across the Organization and in its partnerships with governments and key stakeholders.
