FAO Goodwill Ambassador
FAO Goodwill Ambassador is an official postnominal honorific title, title of authority, legal status and job description assigned to goodwill ambassadors and advocates who are designated by the United Nations. Wikipedia
The FAO Goodwill Ambassador Programme is dedicated to promoting FAO’s vision of a world without hunger. The FAO Goodwill Ambassadors, distinguished men and women of talent and passion, have expressed their desire to help focus global attention on the noble aims of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations: a world free from hunger. Since the launching of the Programme in 1999, these nominations were intended to recognize the importance of the role played by priv ate individuals in promoting food security and to convey the message that working for food security is not solely the province of government. Progress also hinges on the willingness of individual citizens to use their gifts to inspire good will and to generate political will. By their talents and influence, the FAO Goodwill Ambassadors are drawing people from all walks of life into the fight against hunger and poverty, especially at a time when the soaring of food prices is giving rise to a global food crisis. I call upon all people to play a part, together with the FAO Goodwill Ambassadors, in helping the least privileged of the world to finally break free of the vicious circle of chronic hunger and malnutrition.

There are other official title designations and forms of presentation that are used by the United Nations depending on the scope of their public relations campaigns, for example in 2021 the term "UNICEF's women Goodwill Ambassadors" appeared for a UNICEF campaign headline for Afghanistan, however this does not change the official title of individual ambassadors. Since 1999, some of the United Nations Diplomatic Corps and United Nations Association Chapters have referred to their ambassadors as Global Goodwill Ambassador or National Goodwill Ambassador of _________. The new guideline of a 3-6 letter alpha code preceding the "Goodwill Ambassador" title makes each ambassador unique with their proper name, disambiguates different UN departments, projects and programs as well as removes assumptions that fraudsters depend on.
