Resumen
Descripción
Jamaica joined FAO in 1963. In 1978, the Organization established a representation in Jamaica which today also covers
the Bahamas and Belize. Over the years, FAO has partnered with Jamaica to achieve sustainable agricultural and rural
development, mainly through the Organization’s Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP). Interventions have ranged from
policy formulation to technical agricultural development and emergency assistance projects. Recent cooperation has placed
a strong focus on food security and nutrition, targeting rural, peri-urban and urban populations. Jamaica hosted and chaired
the 35th FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean (5-8 March 2018, Montego Bay) (LARC). The
Chairperson of the 35th Session of the LARC was invited to present the Report of the Regional Conference on programme
and budget matters to the FAO Council (4-8 June 2018).
