International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
Unverified non-profit organisation
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), a specialised agency of the United Nations, focuses upon eradicating rural poverty within developing countries. With the help of its partners, IFAD gives people access to technology, services, and natural resources.
IFAD’s overarching goal is that rural women and men in developing countries are empowered to achieve higher incomes and improved food security at the household level. In this way it will also contribute to the achievement of Millennium Development Goal number 1: the eradication of extreme poverty.
