JAKARTA, The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) will carry out food and agriculture development support programmes in Indonesia for the next four years.

 

The programmes were launched during a Country Programming Framework (CPF) workshop in Bogor recently, according to a specialised agency of the United Nations to defeat hunger.

 

In a statement, FAO’s representative in Indonesia, Rajendra Aryal said the CPF sets out four strategic priorities to guide the agency’s partnership and support.
