| dc.description | Signing Ceremony FAO-ECA Memorandum of Understanding January 31, 2017, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. To alleviate the challenges that millions of African families face from abject poverty, malnutrition, and food insecurity, FAO and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) signed a new partnership agreement that paves the way for stronger cooperation in fostering sustainable agriculture. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Abdalla Hamdok, UNECA Executive Secretary, and Maria Helena Semedo, FAO Deputy Director-General, Climate and Natural Resources, at the UNECA Headquarters. This would provide the two parties with the framework to collaborate primarily on food and nutrition security, regional integration and trade, development of strategies for policy assistance, statistics development; regional consultative mechanism (RCM); population dynamics, and urban-rural linkages and governance. "This MOU establishes a broad framework for strategic collaboration and is particularly timely considering the Strategic Development Goals (SDGs) and Africa's Agenda 2063", declared Semedo. Hamdok stated that “The MOU is very timely and relevant. The broad framework will allow us to identify areas of cooperation and we are looking forward to working together in that regard”. | en |
