Review of FAO's policy of cooperation with NGOs.


 Reform of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) was based on the recognition that the FAO should concentrate on roles and functions it can best perform and broaden links with other groups. This outreach effort was institutionalized by creation of the Unit for Cooperation with the Private Sector and NGOs (nongovernmental organizations). In 1996, this unit was charged with a thorough review of FAO's policy towards NGOs. The resulting report was widely distributed at a 1996 NGO Forum, and input has been sought from field office and technical department reviews of the status of their own cooperation with NGOs. These separate exercises are being combined to formulate a policy statement to be issued in 1998 for discussion with NGOs. The policy statement will propose cooperation in the areas of 1) field programs, 2) policy dialogue, 3) exchange of information and promoting public awareness, and 4) mobilization of resources.
