Food And Agriculture Organization - FAO

The FAO (no relation to the toy store) is an agency of the now-only-semi-corrupt-gathering, The United Nations, whose main mission is to combat world hunger. In addition to helping countries establish and maintain food quality standards, this agency also helps people learn how to farm sustainably, protect their agricultural efforts against threats like pests or drought, and efficiently manage smaller farms in an effort to keep those farmers from going broke. One of their financial strategies has been to promote public-private partnerships, in which private investors assist the public sector (read: government entities) in bringing new technology and better practices to its people.

This all sounds amazing, but the FAO has been the subject of a lot of criticism, as most organizations of its ilk often are. From concerns about its methodology to worries about its lack of cost-effectiveness, the FAO has been receiving (and attempting to address) criticism from various sectors for decades. With little supervision and third world countries desperate for dough to feed their hungry children, it's no wonder that so much "leakage" from a tight system has drawn ire from donors around the world.
