Nepal and FAO have enjoyed close cooperation since the country joined FAO in 1951. During more than 60 years of partnership, FAO has implemented over 200 projects, ranging from policy advice and capacity development to technical support and agricultural emergency assistance, including transboundary animal disease control. As Nepal continues to reform following years of conflict, current cooperation efforts are focused on innovative approaches to agricultural and rural development.FAO assistance in Nepal is shaped by the 2013-2017 FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) which identifies four priority areas for technical cooperation:
1. Food and nutrition security and safety
2. Institutional and policy support
3. Market orientation and competitiveness
4. Natural resource conservation and use, including adaptation to climate change 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).As the country is undergoing prolonged social, political and economic transformation, flexibility has been assured for the adjustment of CPF priorities as necessary, especially in view of the adoption of the new Agriculture Development Strategy.
