This GIS study shows that the development of rice paddies in Sierra Leone has led to fewer forest fires.

El programa FO4ACP tiene por objetivo aumentar los ingresos y mejorar los medios de vida, la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y la protección de los agricultores familiares y los pequeños campesinos organizados en los países de África, el Caribe y el Pacífico reforzando las organizaciones regionales, nacionales y locales de agricultores.

Indigenous peoples, living in rural areas of developing countries and facing high levels of poverty and food insecurity, are an important constituency for IFAD.

In working with them, we have learned the importance of recognizing the diversity and distinctiveness of peoples and rural communities and of valuing and building on their cultural identity as an asset and economic potential. Thirty years after IFAD made its first loan in support of indigenous peoples, we are better equipped to strengthen our links with these communities.
