Gender and rural development brief with specific focus on the Pacific Islands.

This paper seeks to draw on both the positive aspects of current practice and the critiques that have been made, to propose an action plan for strengthening IFAD’s engagement in country level policy dialogue.

It outlines a set of broad principles underpinning IFAD’s approach, the first of which is the reaffirmation that policy engagement must be shaped and led by the CPM.

It also makes specific proposals for more effectively integrating country-level policy dialogue in IFAD country programmes; for improving IFAD’s monitoring, reporting and knowledge management on the subject; and for strengthening in-house capacity for country-level policy dialogue.  

Describes what IFAD and the Policy and Technical Advisory division are supporting country-level policy engagement.

It also summarizes past experience and explains how Country Programme Managers can access funds to engage in country-level policy dialogue.

An IFAD Supervision Mission visited the project from 20th June to 5th July 2013. The main 1.objectives of the supervision mission are to ensure that the development objectives of the projects are being met and to satisfy IFAD‟s fiduciary responsibilities, with a focus on: (i) assessment of the implementation progress of the project, including assessment of the achievement of outputs by component and outcome as per the logframe of the project; (ii) assistance to identify and remove implementation bottlenecks and constraints; and (iii) agree on a set of actions to be implemented by the project in the next six to twelve months period.

El mundo actual está lleno de paradojas, algunas grotescas, pero ninguna de ellas lo es más que el hecho de que mientras 870 millones de personas pasan hambre cada día, un tercio de todos los alimentos se pierde o se desperdicia. Nos maravillamos ante las tasas de crecimiento de los países de ingresos medios, pero en algunos de esos países viven decenas de millones de personas muy pobres. Alrededor del 75 por ciento de los habitantes más pobres del mundo viven en las zonas rurales y obtienen sus medios de vida principalmente de la agricultura, al tiempo que producen más del 80 por ciento de los alimentos que se consumen en África Subsahariana y partes de Asia. No obstante, muchos de ellos son a su vez compradores netos de alimentos.
