 In this paper, particular attention is given to the identification and promotion of productivity and resilience enhancing agricultural practices. 

Population growth, rapid urbanization, and a young population are major trends shaping the future of African agriculture.

The Putting Research into Use for Nutrition, Sustainable Agriculture and Resilience (PRUNSAR) programme is currently one of the most significant ongoing AR4D programmes. It has a budget of almost US$40 million, mainly from the European Union, of which US$8 million is a contribution from IFAD.

Learning lessons as the COVID-19 crisis unfolds, and providing timely knowledge-driven feedback to development practitioners and decision-makers, is perhaps as important as delivering IFAD’s COVID-19 package itself.

Collaboration between the Republic of Moldova and IFAD began in 1999. IFAD has supported seven projects totalling US$196.8 million, with IFAD financing of US$109.2 million.

The seventh global meeting of the Farmers’ Forum was held on 6, 7, 10 and 11 February 2020, in conjunction with the 43rd session of the Governing Council of IFAD.
