The annual report on IFAD's Development Effectiveness (RIDE) presents the main features of IFAD's performance in three broad areas, namely the:

• Relevance of IFAD’s mandate and operations in the context of the changing framework of international development assistance;
• Development effectiveness of IFAD-financed operations in generating development results “on the ground” that support national and global efforts to reduce rural poverty and contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, and the first MDG in particular; and
• Organizational effectiveness and efficiency of the Fund in delivering those results through improved internal performance management.
