Global Model FAO 2026 Registration Opens: Join Future Leaders at the FAO Headquarters in Rome

Have you ever wanted to sit at the negotiating table of a United Nations agency? Global Model FAO 2026 lets you do exactly that — at the real headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome.

What it is

Global Model FAO is a Model United Nations-style conference where students, educators, aspiring diplomats and young changemakers from around the world represent countries, debate pressing global issues and negotiate policies on food security, agriculture and sustainable development.

Key details

• Location: FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy
• Open to: students and young professionals worldwide — including Ugandans
• Registration deadline: 11 October 2026
• Format: immersive negotiation simulation, committees and networking with delegates from many countries

Who can apply

Any motivated student or young professional interested in international relations, agriculture, food systems, development policy or diplomacy.

Why it matters for Ugandans

Agriculture employs most Ugandans, yet Ugandan voices are rarely heard in global food-policy debates. Attending Model FAO gives you practical experience in international negotiation and a strong line on your CV for UN internships and graduate programmes in development.

How to apply

Register through the official FAO Model conference page. Spaces are limited and processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
