IFAD is a specialized agency of the United Nations and International Financial Institution.

Decision-making at IFAD is entrusted to its Governing Council, its Executive Board and the President of the Fund.

IFAD basic legal texts, which have been approved by its Governing Council and/or its Executive Board, set forth the rules, regulations and procedures which the Fund must abide by in its operations and activities. Amendments to said texts may be proposed by the President of the Fund for consideration by the relevant Governing Bodies.
