The Italy-IFAD partnership

Hero image

Italy and IFAD share a commitment to a world where people have access to affordable, safe, nutritious and sufficient food. Italy plays a key leadership role in strengthening the Fund’s financial architecture, which enabled IFAD to become the first United Nations fund to receive a credit rating (AA+) and the only development finance institution to systematically conduct impact assessments across its portfolio.

Italy is a founding member of IFAD and the host country. It has pledged a total of US$674.6 million to the Fund’s core budget, placing itself among
the Fund’s five top donors.
