FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva today presented a Diploma to His Excellency Ricardo Alberto Martinelli Berrocal President of the Republic of Panama, during a special ceremony held at FAO headquarters in Rome. FAO is honouring achievements in combatting hunger and recognizing countries that have made outstanding progress in improving food security for their citizens. Panama is one of 20 countries that have already attained the Millennium Development Goal One (MDG) Target 1.C, having reduced the prevalence of undernourishment by 50 percent or more compared to the level of 1990/92, or reduced it below 5 percent. Countries were identified on the basis of FAO estimates of the Prevalence of Undernourishment and Number of People Undernourished published in 2012 issue of the 'State of Food Insecurity in the World', as well as additional information that has become available since the publication of that report. © FAO: http://www.fao.org
