IFAD’s Executive Board approved its first loan to the United Republic of Tanzania in 1978 – the second loan ever approved by the board.
Denmark and IFAD share a long-standing partnership to fight poverty and hunger. Agriculture and the food sector are the basis of their common approach to promoting sustainable rural transformation, which is essential to tackling environmental degradation and climate change.
L’ambition commune du FIDA et de la Suisse est de voir advenir un monde en paix, sans pauvreté ni faim. Parmi les plus démunis et donc les plus vulnérables aux chocs mondiaux, 80% vivent en milieu rural et, trop souvent, sont laissés pour compte.
