Poverty is one of the biggest obstacles to human development and economic growth. Although progress has been made in reducing the global number of the poor, about 767 million people continue to live in extreme poverty and inequalities are still pervasive. Most of them live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods.
With the adoption of the Agenda 2030, countries have renewed their commitment to fight against poverty and hunger. As part of its mandate, FAO supports countries to reduce rural poverty by ensuring that processes of structural and rural transformation are pro-poor and inclusive, to make sure that no one is left behind.
In helping countries in their efforts to eradicate poverty and hunger FAO’s multi-sectoral approach aims to address the social, economic and daily challenges that poor rural people face. This includes increasing access to natural resources and other assets for the rural poor, creating decent employment in agriculture and the rural economy, building strong social protection systems, strengthening rural institutions and empowering the rural poor to benefit from the development process.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
