    New appointment announcement

    by Alvaro Lario

    I am pleased to announce that after a very robust recruitment process, including an external panel review, I have appointed Ms Gérardine Mukeshimana, a national of Rwanda, as Vice-President. 

    Until March of this year and for the previous eight years, Gérardine served as the Minister for Agriculture and Animal Resources of Rwanda. Under her leadership, the agricultural sector was transformed into one of the best performing on the continent and farmers experienced a dramatic improvement of their livelihoods. During her tenure, Gérardine engaged with rural youth, attracted private sector interest in agri-business in Rwanda, and pioneered the use of climate funds for the agricultural sector.

    Gerardine possesses a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture and Horticulture from the University of Rwanda, a Master’s Degree and a doctorate in Plant breeding and Genetics- Crop and Soil Sciences from Michigan State University (USA). 

    Gerardine will bring to IFAD her extensive knowledge and networks in the agricultural development domain, including with other multilateral development banks and climate funds, as well as her strong technical experience from her work and research at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the Michigan State University.

    Gérardine will come on board on 28 August 2023. Please join me in welcoming her to her new position. I wish her the greatest success at IFAD.

  • Consultation on the Replenishment of IFAD's Resources

    Distinguished Representatives,

    We are pleased to advise that, over recent weeks, IFAD13 has been identified as a critical milestone in our fight against food insecurity.

    We invite you to have a look at:

    1. Roadmap following Summit for a New Global Financial Pact: By the World Bank and International Monetary Fund’s Annual Meetings, “All donor countries are encouraged to contribute to ensuring an adequate level of concessional resources in development operations by committing further, in particular through the upcoming 21st replenishment of the International Development Association, Green Climate Fund’s 2nd replenishment, 14th replenishment of the Asian Development Fund and International Fund for Agricultural Development’s 13th replenishment, as well as through the African Development Fund’s leveraging scheme and subsidy contributions to reach the agreed 2021 fundraising target of the IMF’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust.”  

     2.  Third G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting G20 Outcome Document and Chair’s Summary: Paragraph 5 states “We look forward to an ambitious replenishment of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) resources at the end of the year by IFAD members, to support IFAD’s fight against food insecurity”

    Highest consideration

    Launch of Annual Report 2022
    2022 was a year in which we dealt with multiple crises – among them conflict, climate change and the ongoing effects of the pandemic. But crisis can also be a driver of positive change. With this in mind, IFAD’s Annual Report 2022 describes how IFAD is addressing the multiple challenges the world is facing.
    We invite you to browse through the report to learn more about milestones and highlights from IFAD’s work during 2022. You can read about how IFAD is supporting rural people to build their resilience to the crises of today and tomorrow, and of the different initiatives that will put us in a position to achieve even greater impact as we look to IFAD13 and beyond.
