IFAD is an international financial institution and specialized UN agency that invests in rural people. With this, they can enhance their food security and increase their incomes. IFAD works in the most remote regions of developing countries where poverty and hunger are deepest. With most of the world’s poor depending on agriculture for a living, we provide small-scale farmers with the support they need to grow and earn more, in turn reducing poverty. Our work also promotes gender equality, builds the capacity of local communities and strengthens resilience to climate change.
