A market approach to drip irrigation
Between 2009 and 2012, the IFAD-supported Scaling up Micro-irrigation Systems (SCAMPIS) project developed a market approach for the dissemination of locally adapted drip irrigation kits.
The approach identifies the technology that is best suited to the local context and appropriate for the most vulnerable rural inhabitants. It then builds a sustainable local supply chain for the irrigation equipment that makes the technology affordable and available, not just for the duration of the project but in the long term.
In just three years, the pilot project was able to dramatically change the lives of 30,000 farmers and their families (in total, around 150,000 poor rural people) on three continents.

Enabling the rural poor to overcome poverty in Jordan
IFAD has committed US$71.4 million in loans to Jordan since 1981 to support agricultural development and reduce rural poverty. The funds have been used in six agricultural development programmes and projects with a total value of US$189.3 million.
The Government of Jordan and project participants have contributed US$63.2 million. The programmes and
projects are designed by IFAD in collaboration with rural people, the government and other partners. They address poverty through promotion of sustainable natural resource management, particularly water and soil conservation. A seventh project is being designed.

IFAD and the private sector - building links to accelerate pro-poor rural development
IFAD’s experience shows that, with the right support, rural communities can transform their existence in a sustainable way. Supporting the development and ownership of a viable private sector in rural areas plays a fundamental part.
We have always supported the rural private sector, providing primarily small- scale operators with financial and technical assistance to help them
improve their livelihoods.
Enabling poor rural people to overcome poverty in Mauritius
IFAD and the Government of Mauritius are moving towards a new form of partnership that differs from the standard model for low-income countries, which was followed in Mauritius until 2005.
IFAD recognizes that the country now has sufficient national resources to address rural poverty, so the focus of interventions has shifted from financing projects towards developing a collaborative approach with the government to reduce the incidence of poverty.
This approach includes policy dialogue, knowledge management and sharing, and partnership-building.
Enabling poor rural people to overcome poverty in Seychelles
IFAD first worked in Seychelles in 1991, when it began financing the Employment Generation Project, which was completed six years later.
More recently, stakeholders from Seychelles have participated in activities funded by an ongoing IFAD grant, which supports the Regional Initiative for Smallholder Agriculture Adaptation to Climate Change in the Indian Ocean Islands. This initiative is creating a regional knowledge-management platform on adaptation strategies for small-scale farmers.
The platform actively disseminates information on conservation agriculture practices such as farming with low or zero tillage, as well as composting, integrating livestock and farming activities, and other environmentally sustainable measures.
Los pueblos indígenas: valorar, respetar y apoyar la diversidad
culturales y consideran que hay una profunda interdependencia
entre sus sistemas sociales, económicos ambientales y
espirituales. Sus conocimientos tradicionales y su comprensión
del manejo de los ecosistemas son contribuciones valiosas
para el acervo mundial. A pesar de ello, los pueblos
indígenas figuran al mismo tiempo entre los grupos más
vulnerables, marginados y desfavorecidos del mundo. Es
nuestro deber lograr que se escuchen sus voces, se
respeten sus derechos y se mejore su bienestar.

World Water Day 2014 - Understanding the interdependency of water and energy
Agriculture is a thirsty business, with irrigation alone accounting for about 70 per cent of freshwater withdrawals.
Meeting demand from a world population expected to top 9 billion people by 2050 will require a 10 per cent increase in water for agricultural use.
Enormous efforts will be needed to reduce water demand and improve water use efficiency.

Recognizing and Documenting Group Rights to Land and other Natural Resources
Rural people generally need both secure individual rights to farm plots and secure collective rights to common pool resources on which whole villages depend.
IFAD-supported projects and programmes have supported the recognition and documenting of group rights, focusing on range/grazing lands, forests and artisanal fishing communities.

Mapping land and natural resource rights, use and management
Participatory mapping uses a range of tools including data collection tools, such as mental mapping, ground mapping, participatory sketch mapping, transect mapping and participatory 3-dimensional modelling.
Recently participatory mapping initiatives have begun to use more technically advanced geographic information technologies, including Global Positioning Systems (GPS), aerial photos and use of remote-sensing images, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other digital computer-based technologies.
IFAD supported projects and programmes are increasingly making use of these technologies for mapping land and natural resource rights, use and management.
Dar a la población rural pobre de Guatemala la oportunidad de salir de la pobreza
El Fondo Internacional de Desarrollo Agrícola (FIDA) apoya las iniciativas de reducción de la pobreza rural y desarrollo agrícola en Guatemala desde 1986. El FIDA, durante su primer decenio en el país, orientó su labor a apoyar al Gobierno en la consolidación del proceso de paz y la reconstrucción del tejido social del país en las zonas que se vieron afectadas por el conflicto armado, que se prolongó durante 36 años.
También se concentró en la construcción de una plataforma económica e institucional para el desarrollo de las comunidades rurales e indígenas marginadas.

El futuro de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional mundial
económicas, financieras y alimentarias que han desacelerado, y
en ocasiones invalidado, los esfuerzos mundiales por reducir la
pobreza y el hambre. Al día de hoy, la volatilidad de los precios y una
serie de catástrofes climáticas, como la devastadora sequía que arrasó
recientemente el Cuerno de África, siguen desbaratando esos esfuerzos.
En este contexto, la promoción de la capacidad de recuperación de los
medios de vida y de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional ha pasado a
ocupar un lugar destacado en los programas de políticas de los
gobiernos. Los pequeños agricultores deben ocupar el centro
mismo de estos programas y ejercer funciones directivas en las
actividades de inversión necesarias para ejecutarlos.
Investing in rural people in Burundi
IFAD has funded nine programmes and projects in Burundi for a total investment of US$141 million. IFAD’s experience in the country confirms that even under adverse circumstances programmes and projects conceived and designed on the basis of adequate consultations with incentives to rural communities can help improve household food security.
During more than a decade of open conflict in Burundi, IFAD continued to implement programme and project activities. In keeping with its mandate for rural and agricultural development, the organization supported participation in social development and the cohesion of rural communities that were directly or indirectly affected by massacres and combat. By continuing activities in the face of insecurity and within the constraints of an international embargo on Burundi, IFAD helped communities maintain a sense of normalcy.
