FAO aims to promote the achievement of National Development Plan goals focused on poverty reduction, food security, natural resource management and improved livelihoods for the poor and vulnerable. FAO also integrates gender equality, nutrition, climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, capacity development and governance into all interventions at all scales. FAO continues to support the Government as they reconstruct and rehabilitate the social, economic and environmental fabric of formerly ISIL-occupied areas in central and northern Iraq.
