About IFAD


IFAD’s mission is to enable poor rural people to overcome poverty.
IFAD (The International Fund for Agricultural Development), is an international financial institution and United Nations agency based in Rome, the UN’s food and agriculture hub. Since 1978, they have provided US$22.4 billion in grants and low-interest loans to projects that have reached an estimated 512 million people.
IFAD is dedicated to eradicating rural poverty in developing countries. Seventy-five per cent of the world’s poorest people – 1.05 billion women, children and men – live in rural areas and depend on agriculture and related activities for their livelihoods.
Working with rural poor people, governments, donors, non-governmental organizations and many other partners, IFAD focuses on country-specific solutions, which can involve increasing rural poor people’s’ access to financial services, markets, technology, land and other natural resources.
