Investing in rural people in Sao Tome and Principe
IFAD remains one of the most important technical and financial partners in the rural sector. Its work has led to the development of strategies and mechanisms to support poor people in rural areas.
Sharing a vision on the importance of achieving a world without hunger and poverty – and the sustainable development interventions needed to get there – the United States and IFAD have been working together since IFAD’s inception in 1977.
Consistent with its longstanding leadership role in food and nutrition security, the United States holds the largest voting share among IFAD Member States, with 6.93 per cent. The United States has been instrumental in promoting institutional reform within IFAD, leading to more effective and efficient programs and enhanced results and impact.
