Report on IFAD’s Development Effectiveness 2017 (RIDE)

The Report on IFAD’s Development Effectiveness (RIDE) is the Fund’s main corporate document reporting on the organization's institutional and developmenteffectiveness. In particular, the RIDE summarizes progress against targets for 2015, as contained in the Fund’s results measurement framework (RMF).1 Also, as agreed with the governing bodies, the RIDE reports against progress in four specific areas: the implementation of the IFAD Policy on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment; the Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP); the quality assurance of IFAD’s projects and programmes; and the Istanbul Programme of Action for Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011-2020. The RIDE is therefore a key instrument for promoting accountability and learning.
