Assessing our impact
IFAD's impact assessments accurately measure and report on the impact of our work
IFAD invests in rural people so that they can pull themselves out of poverty, feed the planet and take charge of their own development. But for us to be able to invest in rural people, we need our partners to invest in us. We do this through a process called replenishment, whereby we mobilize resources from Member States that we then multiply to finance our life-changing work.
In line with the Agreement Establishing IFAD, Member States meet periodically to review IFAD’s performance and agree on future directions, priorities and targets. They then make additional contributions to help achieve those targets and progress IFAD’s mission to end rural poverty and hunger.
IFAD13 set priorities and secured funding for IFAD’s work from 2025 to 2027, a crucial period for achieving the SDGs.
IFAD aims to double its impact by 2030 and improve the incomes, production, food security and nutrition, and resilience of over 100 million people.
IFAD13 prioritises fragility, climate change and biodiversity while leveraging the private sector to fulfil our mandate.
Member States can support IFAD13 with core contributions, core additional climate contributions and concessional partner loans. Non-Member States and other partners can provide Special Contributions.
Replenishment consultations are currently composed of representatives of 57 IFAD Member States, including developed countries that contribute to IFAD’s resources (List A); Members of OPEC that primarily contribute to IFAD’s resources but may also borrow from IFAD (List B); and other developing countries that are eligible for IFAD financing and services, many of which also contribute to IFAD’s resources (List C).
IFAD’s replenishments are unique in their high level of inclusivity, bringing together countries from all regions and income categories to jointly agree on IFAD's priorities.
Many countries also contribute additional resources, including the world’s poorest countries, demonstrating their ownership of the Fund, solidarity with other developing countries, and commitment to ending rural poverty and hunger.
