The USA-IFAD partnership

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.
