For pro-poor rural development investments
Learning Notes are intended to serve as reminders of key issues and main tasks in the design and implementation of pro-poor investment projects in rural areas. They are based on lessons learned from experience, accumulated knowledge and current innovations.
The intended users of these Learning Notes are IFAD Country Programme Managers and team leaders/members at all stages in the design (inception, formulation and appraisal), review, supervision and evaluation of investment projects and programmes.
The first section identifies ‘Core issues’ to be considered. The second section indicates the ‘Key tasks for design and review’ to generate robust investment plans. The final section, ‘Sources of information and examples of good practice’, directs users to some relevant examples drawn from IFAD’s portfolio of loan and grant-financed projects, studies, and other sources of best practices and relevant information.
The Learning Notes aim to assist project design teams to generate the information required to prepare and enhance the quality of IFAD's Project Design Documents, the supporting logframes and Key Files.
Comments and suggestions for the improvement of Learning Notes are welcome. These, together with requests for further information, should be addressed to learningnotes@ifad.org
