Board Feedback
Have we reflected the changing external context and its implications for the rural poor correctly? (slides 5-6)
Does the proposed goal and purpose statement reflect this changing context and our mandate? (slides 7-11)
Are the four ‘climate smart’ building blocks and its underlying principles the right ones for the strategy? (slides 12-17)

1. The Changing Context: Impacts
ECOSYSTEMS/ ENVIRONMENTAL
PROCESSES SUSTAINING
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY(food and cash
crops, livestock and fisheries)
RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE(rural roads, storage
and processing, irrigation systems)
RURAL LIVELIHOODS (migration, labour availability, food
insecurity, conflict, forced sale of livestock and other
assets)
e.g. coastal ecosystems in Sri Lanka; rangeland ecosystems of Eastern Morocco
e.g. rice production inSierra Leone, rain-fed agriculture in Yemen, livestock sector in Mongolia (drought and Dzud)
e.g. food insecurity in Niger, rural livelihoods in the high Andes (Altiplano) in Peru.
e.g. damage to irrigation systems and other agricultural infrastructure in Viet Nam

2. Delivering Our Mandate
To maximize IFAD’s impact on rural poverty reduction in the changing context of climate change
Goal:
Purpose 1To be a leading
international institution in supporting innovative approaches to reduce
the vulnerability of poor rural communities to
climate change
Purpose 2To help partner
communities take advantage of
available mitigation incentives
Purpose 3To inform a more
joined up dialogue on
climate change, rural development,
agriculture and food security

2. Delivering Our Mandate: Adaptation
Vulnerability focus Impacts focus
(Heather McGray, WRI, 2007)
Addressing the drivers of vulnerability
Activities seek to reduce poverty and other non-climatic stressors that make people vulnerable
Building response capacity
Activities seek to build robust systems for problem solving
Managing climate risks
Activities seek to incorporate climate information into decision-making
Confronting climate change
Activities seek to address impacts associated exclusively with climate change
10
Rangelands and pasture management
Coastal management and fisheries
Agriculture and land use mitigation in agriculture: What Physical Potential?
Crop management
Restoration of degraded lands
Bio-energy
Livestock management

Purpose 3 - To inform a more joined up dialogue on climate change, rural development, agriculture and food security
Climate community Agriculture community Deeper challenge: country level coherence Using our voice

Climate Smart Principles
Deep integration of climate into IFAD programmes
Decentralisation of accountability for climate operations to Regional Divisions
Integrating Climate into IFAD Operating Model
Climate integration into COSOP, including climate assessment/proofing
Design: climate proofing, risk-mapping/vulnerability and quality control (QE/QA); implement environmental screening; develop learning notes; integrate climate in financial & economic assessment tools
Use/build on Results Management Framework; “adaptive adaptation” – build in new knowledge into project reviews
Use of RIMS & integrate climate into annual portfolio reviews
Better/more knowledge management; strengthened advocacy & communications; role of evaluation
e.g. Carbon markets, explore potential for more national/regional programmes
Sustainable policies in-house
15
Staffing and Partnerships
Internal HQ + in-country capacity and skills Make more use of
existing/latent skills Upskilling/training Expand our dedicated
climate capacity Deployment:
a matrix-style climate and global environment hub, with staff shared with regions
Strategy will review and deepen partnerships where this adds value: Explore deeper knowledge
partnerships
Country-level, including Agriculture Ministries engagement
Global Environment Facility
Rome based agencies
Other IFIs, GM, CGIAR, civil society and the private sector

Advocacy and Knowledge
Continued advocacy in support of action on climate change for the rural poor
New internal network to manage climate knowledge and advocacy
Knowledge products - guidance notes, case studies, lesson learning, participatory K products – culturally appropriate
Staff and partners’ awareness on climate
