IFAD’s Value Proposition

Specialized focus on agriculture

and targeting of the most

marginalized populations, as

more relevant than ever in the

current context

Long-term relationships with

governments, rural civil society

organizations and a deep reach

into remote areas

Systematic measurement of

results and impact across IFAD’s

portfolio and a focus on producing

sustainable benefits for countries

Increased leveraging of

IFAD’s capital base to ensure

a multiplied return on each

Member State dollar as

investments on the ground
