Photo of the Week: Because No One Should Read Too Much on Fridays
April 29, 2011 | Posted by Zachary Keck - 8:24am | 4 Comments
Jacques Diouf, Director General of the United Nation’s Food
and Agricultural Organization (FAO), is expected to step down soon after
serving in this capacity since 1994. Diouf will
seek a bid to run for the Senegal presidency in the 2012 election, Bloomberg reported this week.
At least six candidates have emerged to replace Diouf as Director General, according to a report by The Guardian. Three candidates have emerged as frontrunners, according to Reuters: Franz Fischler, a former European Union Agricultural Commissioner; Jose Graziano da Silva, head of FAO in Latin America and the Caribbean; and Miguel Angel Moratinos, Spain’s former foreign minister. All six candidates have outlined their proposals for running the agency should they be selected.
The transition comes at an important time for the FAO which, as one of the UN’s largest anti-hunger agencies, will have a leading role in combating hunger in the face of rising global food prices. In discussing his candidacy to be the FAO’s next Director General, Franz Fischler noted that this food inflation threatens global stability arguing that "Food security is becoming more and more also an issue of national security."
