The project aimed to promote a more dynamic insertion of small rural producers into value chains as a way to foster structural change in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Support to Farmers’ Organizations in Africa Programme (SFOAP): Main phase (2013 - 2018) is a continental programme which strengthens the institutional capacities, policy engagement and engagement of value chains of African farmers’ organizations (FOs). The programme supports the 5 regional networks of African FOs (EAFF, PROPAC, ROPPA, SACAU and UMNAGRI), their members at national level, and the pan-African FO (PAFO).

The programme aimed to intensify the cropping systems with grain legumes to improve the productivity and sustainability of rainfed agriculture while diversifying smallholder farmers’ income-generating opportunities. 

This programme, also known as FinServAccess, aimed to enhance access to sustainable rural financial services for smallholder producers and
agroentrepreneurs, so they are better equipped to face emerging challenges and benefit from new opportunities.

The grant is one of three projects implemented under a broader regional programme (Adaptation to Change) financed by IFAD, the Government of Norway, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), and United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID). 

The programme Strengthening Knowledge Sharing on Innovative Solutions Using Learning Route (LR) Methodology1 in Asia and the Pacific (ROUTASIA) is the second phase of a four-year IFAD-funded large grant to Procasur Corporation. 

Le 12 juin 2018, l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies adopte officiellement la Journée internationale des transferts de fonds familiaux comme journée à célébrer au niveau mondial.

L’Initiative relative aux services financiers postaux en Afrique (APFSI) était un partenariat d’envergure inédite dirigé par le Mécanisme de financement des envois de fonds du FIDA et réunissant la Banque mondiale, l’Union postale universelle (UPU), l’Institut mondial des caisses d’épargne (WSBI) et le Fonds d’équipement des Nations Unies (FENU), et cofinancé par l’Union européenne (UE). L’objectif commun de ce programme régional était d’accroître la concurrence sur le marché africain des transferts d’argent en encourageant et en soutenant les bureaux de poste du continent dans l’offre de services financiers. Plus précisément, il visait à promouvoir des services de transfert d’argent moins coûteux, plus rapides, plus pratiques et plus conviviaux, en particulier vers les zones rurales, tout en favorisant le dialogue entre les différents acteurs, les autorités de réglementation et les décideurs politiques.

​With private contributions becoming increasingly pivotal to global climate finance, it is evident that scaling up and channeling private capital is crucial in meeting the goal of achieving the Paris Agreement and limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level.

In March 2018, IFAD and the Government of Pakistan organized a one-day seminar entitled “Preparing Rural Communities to Cope with Climate Change through South-South and Triangular Cooperation”.  

Le pastoralisme est un mode de vie qui se fonde sur la mobilité territoriale, solution d'adaptation aux difficultés rencontrées par les populations humaines vivant dans des environnements difficiles.

Les auteurs de la présente Note pratique se penchent tout d’abord sur les problèmes de développement pastoral que les développeurs doivent avoir à l’esprit avant toute autre considération. 

Les présentes “Leçons apprises” ont été établies à l'intention des planificateurs et des décideurs afin de les aider a) à éviter des stratégies et mesures d’investissement susceptibles de nuire aux éleveurs nomades ou transhumants, et b) à faire en sorte que les plans et mesures spécifiques concernant le développement pastoral soient ajustés au plus près aux besoins de ces éleveurs.

Policy engagement is a difficult activity to accurately monitor and evaluate, particularly when development agencies are interested in attributing impact to their efforts. 

Le réseau de financement et d’investissement en faveur des petits exploitants et des PME agricoles (SAFIN) est un partenariat inclusif d’acteurs opérant à différents niveaux de l’écosystème d’investissement destiné aux petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) agricoles et rurales, qui met l’accent sur l’accès aux financements et aux services complémentaires.

In the context of population growth, increasing inequality and natural resource depletion, universal access to energy – specifically to renewable energy (RE) – now has high importance on political agendas. 

Access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy is often associated with economic development and considered vital to alleviating extreme poverty (World Bank, 2018). Yet access to clean sources of energy is still a challenge for many smallholder farmers, their families and rural entrepreneurs.

The toolkit focuses on end-user finance for renewable energy technologies for rural households, smallholder farmers, and rural micro, small and medium enterprises.

IFAD recognizes the importance of strengthening land tenure security as a key condition to ensure inclusive rural development and poverty eradication. As IFAD does not support stand-alone projects on land tenure, land-related interventions are typically integrated into broader components and activities.
