Institutions in the Near East and North Africa involved in agricultural policy formulation and analysis:

Aware of the problems and challenges facing the development of agriculture in the Region,

Conscious of the responsibilities which they must assume if they are to contribute to the process of rural and economic development in the Region,

Convinced that the role and impact of the respective institutions can be enhanced through effective cooperation and consultation between them,

Have decided to unite themselves in the pursuit of their common objectives and hereby establish the Near East and North Africa Regional Network for Agricultural Policies (NENARNAP) under the terms of these By-Laws.
