    FAO in the Philippines

    Our Partners

    Partnerships are at the heart of FAO’s mission to help build consensus for a world without
    hunger and are a crucial enabler for achieving its Strategic Objectives.

    In partnership, FAO can more effectively contribute to global efforts to eradicate hunger and
    reduce poverty, and improve food access for the poor and vulnerable. Partnerships also make it
    possible to mobilize the best available knowledge and capacities and provide the most effective
    services in working toward common goals.

    Non-government organizations (NGOs)

    NGOs play a critical role in the fight against hunger given their technical expertise, their
    knowledge and capacity on a variety of issues related to food security, and their increasing
    presence in the field.

    In the Philippines, FAO is working with more than 20 NGOs in the fight against hunger and
    poverty.

    Community-based Organizations, Cooperatives and Farmers’ Associations

    FAO is the lead agency ensuring that agriculture cooperatives and community-based
    organizations (CBOs) are recognized and remain in the international agenda. Agricultural and
    food cooperatives are important vehicles for reducing poverty and generating employment, and
    therefore contribute to socioeconomic development and, ultimately, food security.

    FAO is working with over 275 CBOs, cooperatives and farmers’ associations in the
    Philippines. These organizations are instrumental in continuing the extension activities,
    promoting entrepreneurship and marketing which enable famers to take advantage of the new
    opportunities brought about by the global integration of agriculture and food systems.

    Academia and Research Universities

    FAO engages with academia and research institutions to ensure that knowledge and research are
    used to obtain concrete results on the ground.

    Private Sector

    FAO builds linkages with private sector organizations that can offer innovative and efficient
    ways of contributing to eradicating hunger and poverty. This is especially crucial in the area of
    entrepreneurship and marketing where networks and skillful negotiation are paramount. The
    private entities like social enterprises and chambers of commerce, with their willingness to share
    the real workings of business, are resourceful partners in sustaining the livelihoods of
    smallholder farmers.
