IFAD Strategy for Engagement in Small Island Developing States 2022–2027

The proposed strategy reflects IFAD’s ambition to accelerate progress towards inclusive and sustainable rural transformation through its engagement with small island developing states (SIDS).

The strategy aims to guide the design and implementation of IFAD-supported interventions that appropriately address the development challenges that SIDS face.

The strategy highlights the unique vulnerabilities and development challenges in SIDS because of their small size, remoteness, limited resource base and exposure to climate and natural disasters. It also discusses the implications of these challenges for designing impact-oriented investments.
