Thriving through partners

IFAD works with a flourishing ecosystem of partners, including rural people themselves. 

Our reputation for reliability, our vast experience in rural development and our extensive network make us a valued partner. In turn, our partnerships are crucial to helping us achieve greater impact. Collaboration takes many forms: pooling investments, sharing knowledge and resources, bringing innovations from the lab to the field, capacity building and much more. 

Only by working together can IFAD ensure scalable impact, achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and fulfil our mission of investing in rural people. 

We are always searching for new partners to create transformative change.
