Performance of IPAF small projects: Desk review 2011
In June 2006, the World Bank and IFAD agreed to transfer the World Bank’s Grants Facility for Indigenous Peoples to IFAD. In September, the transfer was approved by IFAD’s Executive Board. This marked the beginning of the IFAD Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility (IPAF), which issues public calls for proposals and makes small grants to support indigenous and tribal peoples throughout the world. Development projects financed through IPAF aim to improve indigenous peoples’ access to key decision-making processes, empower indigenous peoples to find solutions to the challenges they face, and respond to indigenous peoples’ holistic perspectives. The projects build on indigenous culture, identity, knowledge, natural resources, intellectual property and human rights.
This report, prepared by an independent consultant, provides an overview of the performance of 53 small IPAF-funded projects in delivering results and improving the lives of their target groups. About 45,000 people directly benefited from these projects, and more than half of them were women. Project services reached about 1,200 communities. Primary project activities were training and individual capacity-building in such topics as security of tenure, natural resource management, agricultural technologies, traditional medicine, indigenous peoples’ rights, community programming, literacy and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Trail Blazers: Stories of Women Champions from IFAD Projects
Water User Associations in the context of small holder agriculture
This report is the fruit of that endeavour and builds on efforts by IWMI, IFAD and many others to document and understand the impacts of PIM.
Through the systematic review of 24 IFAD-funded PIM interventions and field observations from 5 project sites in the Asian region this study sheds new light on what works, where and why.
Our study examines WUAs that have been created by IFAD projects and those which pre-date it’s interventions but are the main focus of capacity building or restructuring.
Renforcer la capacité d’adaptation des États fragiles
fragiles. Bien qu’il existe plusieurs mesures de la fragilité,
la plupart des pays classés dans cette catégorie ne
disposent pas de certains des outils essentiels au renforcement
des capacités nationales: la bonne gouvernance, des
politiques solides, du personnel qualifié, des infrastructures et
des services fonctionnels, des citoyens instruits, une société
civile active et un secteur privé compétitif. Les troubles civils et
les conflits frontaliers sont trop souvent la réalité. Les pauvres
qui vivent dans les zones rurales des États fragiles sont
particulièrement vulnérables, car ils ne sont guère en mesure
de s’adapter à la situation engendrée par la fragilité.
Le FIDA et le Togo
À présent, le défi que le pays doit relever est de créer les conditions de la croissance économique – et le Gouvernement du Togo pense que la meilleure manière de parvenir à une croissance durable est d’augmenter la production et d'améliorer la productivité du secteur agricole.
Pour ces raisons, après être resté à l’écart du pays pendant plus de dix ans, le Fonds international de développement agricole (FIDA) collabore étroitement avec la République du Togo afin de mettre en bonne voie le développement agricole et rural.
