Nepal became a member of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on 21 November 1951. Since that time Nepal and FAO have been cooperating to progress agricultural output and rural development in the country.
FAO was the first among the different United Nations agencies to commence field work in Nepal, focusing initially on agriculture and water resources development.
The Nepal FAO office works with the following mandate:
- Put information within reach
- Share policy expertise
- Bring knowledge to the field
The achievement of 60 years of cooperation is an opportune moment to reflect upon the successes achieved over those years while at the same time reaffirming our commitment and enthusiasm to maintain the momentum into the future.
During these 60 years almost 300 projects have been implemented by the Organization, embracing a broad range of programmes aimed at agricultural and rural development. In the course of project implementation, many notable firsts and major successes have been recorded. The projects and programmes have covered:
- food and nutrition security
