To
accomplish its fundamental goals of rural poverty eradication,
ensuring food security and helping prevent famines and with a view
to mobilizing resources for the implementation of the Fund's mandate,
IFAD has made efforts to consolidate existing and create new partnerships
and to broaden its outreach. The Fund maintains strategic partnerships
with a number of Bilateral Donors, in particular with the major
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.
Key aspects of these strategic partnerships are contributions to
IFAD core resources, the supplementary funds, cofinancing
of IFAD projects, participation in the associate
professional officer (APO) programme and participation in the
Government of Québec's International Internship Programme.
