I was very happy to attend the Share Fair session where the FAO Official Representatives Web site was presented. Not that I have much to do with its content. But the person who designed and developed the site, Maria Grazia Bovo, was one of our alumni in the first KS workshop. When we started the workshop this web site didn’t exist and Maria Grazia designed the site as the workshop unfolded.
It was fabulous to see it up and running now and I really liked the site:
- It has a sober FAO design adapted to its user group
- It has blog lines that are daily updated
- It also allows non official representatives who work at FAO to access lots of information through the Intranet
- It has a Google calendar with all FAO events and it allows to follow webcasts and offers podcasts through a clever mash up with other parts of FAOs Intranet.
- In addition it is now the only way to access important information that was beforehand distributed via fax o paper copies, a good way to get users on board and increase consultations.
Bravo Maria!

Can we get the URL to this site?
If you are a FAO staff you can get it from Maria Grazia so you can enter the Intranet. If not I am afraid that you cannot access it
Thank you for the nice post Simone! The KS workshop was very useful for my work.
The link to the site is: http://permreps.fao.org/
Some pages are open and some are protected: Homepage, Calendar of meetings (Google Calendar), library services, Google map etc. are open.
If you want to access the “My FAO Space” you have to become PR
It was nice seeing you all at the FAO Knowledge Fair, hope I will meet you soon again online and face-to-face.
Best greetings!
Maria Grazia
Please, i would like to get an access
