In order to enhance collaboration with NGOs in the promotion of participatory and community-based rural development and poverty alleviation and to encourage recipient governments to build upon the experience and know-how accumulated from the activities of NGOs, IFAD has designated NGO focal points in each of its regional divisions (Western and Central Africa; Eastern and Southern Africa; Asia and the Pacific; Latin America and the Caribbean; and Near East and North Africa) and its Technical Advisory Division and Office of Evaluation and Studies.
The primary responsibilities of the NGO focal points are to:
-
address issues relevant to IFAD/NGO cooperation for coordination by IFAD management;
- advise on the collection and dissemination of relevant NGO experiences; and
- assist in the organization of IFAD/NGO Consultations. With regard to the latter, the NGO focal points gather and consolidate proposals from the regional divisions regarding the themes of the Consultations, the NGOs to be invited and the documents to be prepared.
The NGO focal points are:
