COP16: With investment, small-scale farmers can restore lands
IFAD calls for urgent investments to empower small-scale farmers to tackle land degradation and desertification, as COP16 starts in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, today.
The Multilateral Organization Performance Assessment Network (MOPAN) is an independent network of 22 member states with a shared vision to promote an effective multilateral system that delivers solutions to evolving global goals and local challenges.
In its fourth assessment of IFAD, covering the period 2018 to 2023, MOPAN rated IFAD’s performance as “satisfactory” and “highly satisfactory” for 11 out of its 12 key performance indicators.
The assessment describes IFAD as an agile and flexible institution that is well-positioned to respond to critical global challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.
It also provides recommendations to strengthen IFAD’s business model, including improving its selectivity, strategic prioritization and engagement in partnerships aligned with its role in the multilateral system.
As outlined in IFAD13, IFAD will concentrate on climate-resilient agriculture, support smallholder farmers in fragile and conflict-affected states, support the “Leave No One Behind” agenda and fine-tune its operational model. This will further enhance IFAD’s impact, effectiveness and efficiency.
