The Belgium-IFAD partnership

Hero image

The Kingdom of Belgium is a founding member of IFAD and has been a key partner to the Fund since its inception, shaping its strategic directions and sharpening its focus in support of the most vulnerable rural areas, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where more than 50 per cent of IFAD’s resources are invested.

The country’s significant contributions as a top donor to IFAD’s past replenishments have had a role in creating employment opportunities for over
20,000 rural youth and empowering rural women through innovative approaches, such as household methodologies that generate transformation within the families.
