Due to construction work on IFAD’s external parking lot, we would like to inform delegates that a small parking at the corner between Via Di Dono and Via Gaulli, practically in front of Gate 84 of IFAD has been reserved for delegates attending meetings next week.  As space is limited, parking will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
