A Vincentian will soon be employed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), to improve cooperation with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The announcement was made by FAO Director-General, José Graziano da Silva, following a meeting with Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves on Wednesday. Speaking at a media conference, da Silva, said the FAO has agreed to have better coordination mechanisms with the OECS and will look for ways to have a common approach within the nine-member bloc. He said the CVs of six Vincentians will be presented and one will be selected to work at the FAO to help improve cooperation in the region. The FAO Director General also announced that in 2014, the International Year of Family Farming, the FAO will host an event in St. Vincent and the Grenadines to promote family farming. He added that several concrete issues were discussed during the meeting with the Prime Minister.
