  • Specialized Agencies and Other Bodies
    Part 3 Specialized Agencies and Other Bodies Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), established in 1945, is a UN specialized agency that provides global data and expertise on agriculture and nutrition, fisheries, forestry, and other food and agriculture- related issues. FAO is the UN system’s largest autonomous agency, with headquarters in Rome, and 78 country offices and 15 regional, sub-regional, and liaison offices, including one located in Washington, D.C. Jacques Diouf (Senegal), Director-General of FAO, is serving his second six-year term. FAO’s highest policy-making body, the biennial General Conference, comprises all 187 FAO member countries plus the European Commission. The General Conference determines FAO policy and approves FAO’s regular program of work and budget. Each biennial Conference elects a 49-member Council that meets at least three times between regular Conference sessions to make recommendations to the General Conference on budget and policy issues. The North America region, which comprises the United States and Canada, is allocated two seats on the Council and one seat each on FAO’s Program, Finance, and Constitutional and Legal Matters (CCLM) Committees. Through December 2005, the United States holds the North American seat on the Finance and Joint Staff Pension Committees; Canada holds the North American seat on the CCLM and Program Committees. In 2004, the United States continued to stress more efficient use of scarce resources and greater program effectiveness; support for FAO’s normative work; improvement of emergency needs assessments and response capabilities; and continued pressure on the organization to work proactively to hire and retain more staff from traditionally underrepresented countries.

Crawford (1910-84) was also the first chairman of the CGIAR's Technical Advisory Committee. The Challenge of Agricultural Development in Africa Jacques Diouf It is certainly a great honor for me to come back, years later, to the family of dedicated men and women of the CGIAR, and to address a distinguished gathering of prominent scientists and administrators. Beyond the importance of issues we will discuss today, it is not without emotion that I take this oppor- tunity to pay tribute to the late Sir John Crawford. I met Sir John in 1972, one year after WARDA (West Africa Rice Development Association) was launched, to seek support for that fledging project. As a man of vision, he discerned immediately, beyond the scientific shortcomings of a nascent organization, the great potential of an institution that would seek to foster cooperation among several African states.

February, 2016 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ICAS_Agrarian https://twitter.com/TNInstitute https://twitter.com/peasant_journal Check regular updates via ICAS website: www.iss.nl/icas The German Press Discourse on the (New) Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa Anika Mahla Abstract The study reconstructs the latest discourse on the (New) Green Revolution within the German press by using the approach of an argumentative and narrative discourse analysis. In 2006, shortly before the latest food crisis (2008), the “Alliance for a Green Revolution” (AGRA) was initiated by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the Rockefeller Foundation. AGRA aims at eradicating pov- erty and hunger by adopting a “market-led technology” approach (Toenniessen et al. 2008). The aim is to elaborate which stories (narratives) and actors with similar positions (discourse coali- tions) exist regarding the (New) Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To answer this ques- tion, there are two major positions: on the one hand an affirmative coalition of actors in favor of the industrialization of agriculture and on the other hand a critical discourse coalition which prefers agroecological alternatives.
