Synopsis (short abstract) FAO Strategy for Partnerships with the Private Sectorhas been prepared in response to the comments of the Programme and Finance Committee, and is aligned with ongoing efforts for decentralization, the review of FAO’s Strategic Framework and the Organization-wide Strategy on Partnerships, within the context of the Director-General’s overall vision for transformational change of the Organization. The revised Strategy has been informed by an extensive internal consultation with Members and FAO’s se nior management, as well as with representatives of multinational corporations (MNCs), private foundations and industry representative bodies. FAO recognizes that the private sector is a key stakeholder in the fight against food insecurity, malnutrition and rural poverty, and acknowledges the potential that better coordination and collaboration between the public and private sectors can offer in the delivery of the Organization’s Strategic Objectives. The Organization, therefore, takes an open a nd pro-active approach to optimizing the benefits of closer collaboration. In this regard, FAO will consider engaging with all private sector entities, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), cooperatives and producers’ organizations, local companies through to MNCs. This Strategy has been elaborated on the following premises: i) given the intrinsic nature of its membership and governance, the main interlocutors of FAO are the Members; and ii) the basic texts, rules, procedures or composi tion of FAO’s governing bodies will not be affected by this strategy.
