The Director General of FAO, Mr. José Graziano, visited the President of the UN General Assembly today and highlighted the critical role technical assistance and data collection will play in the implementation of the SDGs in rural areas, where the poorest people live. FAO monitored three indicators under the MDGs and it will from now on have to monitor more than 30 for achieving the SDGs. FAO has further strengthened policy advice and capacity-building to address mal-nutrition/obesity and climate change-related challenges and expects to do much more to accelerate the transition from the MDGs to the SDGs.
