Priority areas for funding
As part of IFAD’s strategic response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Facility will support the generation and exchange of innovative solutions, approaches and methodologies that can be of value in the post-COVID-19 recovery period, and that can be subsequently scaled up and benefit a wider population of poor rural people. The four main areas for financing in this call will include:
Guiding principles for preparing the proposals
A Strategic Guidance Note (SGN) has been provided to guide the preparation of proposals for funding from the Facility.
