Grenada: National Medium-Term Priority Framework (NMTPF) for FAO Assistance (2006)

FAO sets frameworks that enable it to anticipate and respond to challenges brought about by change in a more proactive manner. The five-year FAO NMTPF for the period 2006-2010 is developed with focus on Grenada specific requirement in the areas in which FAO’s effectiveness and impact will be greatest. This is a departure from the centrally determined, Rome-based plans/ frameworks in terms of formulation, breadth, and depth of coverage. The FAO has resolved to adopt a decentralised and strategic approach in identifying and setting objectives, strategies, benchmarks, and standards for each function. The NMTPF will be designed to be consistent with UN system instruments such as UNDAF and CCA, as well as the national priorities and processes. Therefore, the NMTPF is designed to be a dynamic and living framework, which guides the achievement of FAO objectives and targets.

The joint identification of medium-term priorities by the GOG and FAO is particularly important to ensure that the GOG, as “owner” and “leader” of external assistance to its development efforts, gets the best out of FAO’s assistance. The identification of such priorities for FAO’s assistance is carried out in a way that effectively complements activities of other donor agencies. The NMTPF identifies and agrees with the Government of Grenada a set of medium-term priorities for FAO’s assistance. The intended assistance will address national agricultural, forestry, fisheries, rural development and food security needs, as expressed and jointly prioritized by both the FAO and the Government.
