Graziano da Silva re-elected as FAO director general
17/06/2015
Mr Graziano da Silva has earned a reputation for sharpening the focus of the FAO’s work on five strategic objectives, with the new goal of totally eradicating hunger and malnutrition. He also found significant cost-savings by streamlining administrative procedures while increasing levels of collaboration with external partners.
He joined the FAO in 2006 as the head of its regional office for Latin America and the Caribbean. Prior to that he led the team that designed and launched a highly successful anti-hunger initiative in his native Brazil.
