CSOs Regional Consultation

The FAO Regional Conference for Africa (APRC) is an official forum where Ministers of Agriculture and other high officials from all Member States in the region meet to debate challenges related to food and agriculture, thus promoting regional coherence.

Representatives of regional, interregional and international organizations, as well as from civil society and private sector, are invited as observers to the conferences.
