IFAD and the European Union: Partnering to transform rural realities

Their shared strategic priorities include eradicating poverty and hunger, reducing inequalities, climate action, gender equality, and decent work and economic growth.

This report looks at how the EU and IFAD have leveraged the partnership to develop new approaches that scale up actions to drive innovation in public-private sector partnerships, financing models, and pro-poor agricultural research, as well as supporting farmers’ networks.
