About [Edit]
The overall objective of the Regional Office for the Near East stems from the objectives of FAO. Its functions are to carry out a major programme of technical advice and assistance for the agricultural community, on behalf of the governments of the Near East countries and development funding agencies in the Region; collect, analyze and disseminate information, and advise governments on policy and planning. The ultimate goal is to assist Member States, in raising the levels of nutrition and standards of living of their people, improve the production and distribution of food and agricultural products and achieve food self-sufficiency, through the implementation of sound and sustainable agricultural and rural development programmes.
The main functions of the FAO Regional Office for the Near East are to:

* Organize meetings and training sessions in all fields of agricultural development, including the building of national capacities to deal with agricultural planning, policies and project formulation and evaluation.
* Organize technical meetings, seminars and workshops to review agricultural issues of importance to the Region.
* Undertake field studies to overcome problems hampering agricultural development in the Region.
* Act as a specialized advisory body to Member Governments to advise on the feasibility and evaluation of development projects and assess their economic and social impacts.
* Encourage technical and economic cooperation among the countries of the Region and promote the use of regional and national institutions.
* Support the FAO Country Representatives in the Region by assisting them in policy level negotiations, advising them on regional policies affecting their host country, and by making available, regional technical officers or consultants for country assignments.
* Cooperate with the technical funding regional organizations in supporting agricultural development projects and programmes in the Region.
* Organize and conduct the FAO Regional Conference for the Near East and the sessions of the FAO Regional Commissions for the Near East in close collaboration with the technical divisions in FAO Headquarters.
