How we work

IFAD works with its member states and stakeholders to generate improved, more resilient livelihoods for all poor rural people – smallholder farmers, land-poor and landless workers, women and youth, marginalised ethnic groups, and victims of disaster and conflict – without undermining the natural resource base. We go where poverty and hunger are most extreme and where few development agencies dare to venture – the most remote regions of developing countries and areas with fragile situations.

... and why

IFAD’s vision of inclusive and sustainable rural transformation is where extreme poverty is eliminated, and every rural family lives with dignity.
