The USA-IFAD partnership

Sharing a vision of how to achieve security and prosperity, the United States and IFAD have been working together to invest in food systems since IFAD’s inception 40 years ago. 

Consistent with its longstanding leadership role, the United States holds the largest voting share among IFAD Member States, with 6 per cent. Its US$162 million pledge to the Thirteenth Replenishment of IFAD’s resources (2025-2027) represents 11.3 per cent of the total. The United States has been instrumental in promoting institutional reform within IFAD, leading to more effective and efficient programmes and enhanced results while reducing costs and maintaining quality.
