Why should the Food and Agriculture Organization lead the ERP partnership and not leave education to UNESCO?
UNESCO requested FAO to lead the ERP flagship partnership which in no way seeks to assume any of UNESCO’s roles or responsibilities but to complement them. The added value of FAO leading ERP is derived from FAOs’ mandate, experience, constituency and networks which focus on Rural – as including but being broader than Agricultural – development and poverty reduction and from its long tradition of advocating and promoting education and training for the rural population.
