Delivering on our mission

IFAD investments have made a proven difference in rural lives and communities. In fact, IFAD was the Centre for Global Development’s top agency for quality of official development assistance in 2021. Because of our work:
- families can feed themselves and their communities.
- rural people have adequate nutrition.
- rural communities have economic security.
- women, Indigenous People and other disadvantaged groups have a voice in development.
- young people are building businesses in their rural communities.
- rural people are more resilient to climate shocks.
IFAD has a strong focus on results and is committed to strengthening our ability to measure and report them. We conduct rigorous assessments to determine the impact of our projects and we compare our performance against targets.
Each year, we report our progress in the Report on IFAD’s Development Effectiveness (RIDE), the Annual Report on the Independent Evaluation of IFAD and other mechanisms.
