Nepal and FAO have enjoyed close cooperation since the country joined FAO in 1951. Established in 1977, the FAO Country Office has reached 40 years of permanent presence in Nepal, providing support in its areas of comparative advantage and in line with national priorities. To date, the Organization has supported the implementation of over 300 projects in the field of agriculture, livestock, and forestry development, food security, nutrition, rural income generation, agricultural value chains, and adaptation to the effects of climate change.
FAO assistance in Nepal is shaped by the 2013-2017 FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF), which identifies four priority areas for technical cooperation:
- Food and nutrition security and safety, aiming at improving agricultural productivity through enhanced national and local capacities
- Institutional and policy support, strengthening analytical and technical capacities from policy and programme formulation to implementation and monitoring
- Market orientation and competitiveness, promoting market-oriented production and value addition, through enhanced technical and institutional capacities
- Natural resource conservation and use, including adaptation to climate change, with a focus on improved land registration and management practices for sustainable production in a conflict free environment
Jointly developed with the Government and other partners, the CPF reflects relevant priorities in key national development policies, including the National Agriculture Sector Development Priority (2010), and the Nepal Agriculture and Food Security Country Investment Plan (2010). The CPF supports FAO’s Strategic Framework as well as its regional priorities and is fully aligned with the UN Development Assistance Framework for Nepal.
