In so doing, yesterday the Minister was engaged in two important meetings – one with a representative of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), and another with representatives of the United Nations International Children Fund (UNICEF).
During the meeting with FAO representative, Ms. Gillian Smith, the discussion was focused on how the agency can support the development of the education sector with an emphasis on the school feeding programme.
