The Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP) is committed to sharing knowledge, information, experience, and resources, as well as collaborating on joint activities that aim to enhance human and economic security, social equity, and sustainable development in the information age.

The central focus of GKP is the use of information and communications technologies to expand participation of all stakeholders in the production, dissemination, and use of knowledge and information so as to achieve sustainable development.

"The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN's principal provider of development advice, advocacy and grant support. It has long enjoyed the trust and confidence of governments and NGOs in many parts of the developing as well as the developed world. It is typically regarded as a partner rather than an adversary, and its commitment to a universal presence has proven especially useful in post-conflict situations and with states that had been otherwise isolated from the international community."

FAO is one of the largest specialised agencies in the United Nations system and the lead agency for agriculture, forestry, fisheries and rural development.
Since its inception, FAO has worked to alleviate poverty and hunger by promoting agricultural development, improved nutrition and the pursuit of food security - defined as the access of all people at all times to the food they need for an active and healthy life.
