Consultation on the Replenishment of IFAD's Resources
Article 4.3 of the Agreement Establishing IFAD provides that “in order to assure continuity in the operations of the Fund, the Governing Council shall periodically, at such intervals as it deems appropriate, review the adequacy of the resources available to the Fund ....”, the Fund holds consultations on the review of its resources whenever the Governing Council deems necessary.
The Consultations on the various Replenishments are normally composed of Representatives from List A, List B and List C Member States as decided by the Governing Council at the establishment of the Replenishment. These compositions are established by the Governing Council. The Representatives invited to participate in these Consultation Sessions are the Governors, however they may designate others to represent them.
Upon conclusion, the Consultation submits a report – the replenishment report - on the results of its deliberation, and any recommendations, to the Governing Council, with a view to adopting such resolutions as may be appropriate.
IFAD12
On 11 February 2020, IFAD’s Governing Council approved Resolution 211/XLIII on the Establishment of the Consultation on the Twelfth Replenishment of IFAD’s Resources (IFAD12). In order to ensure that IFAD12 enters into effect by 1 January 2022, it was recommended that the IFAD12 Consultation sessions be held in 2020 and that the Consultation’s recommendations be reported to the forty-fourth session of the Governing Council in 2021.
For IFAD12, the Governing Council determined that the Consultation shall be composed of 57 countries: 25 List A Member States, 10 List B Member States, 22 List C Member States. List A Members not designated as one of the 25 Members of the Consultation from that List shall be authorized to attend the sessions of the Consultation as silent observers. The Consultation may also subsequently invite such other Member States to participate in sessions of the Consultation as may facilitate its deliberations.
A salle d’écoute will be available for representatives from other Member States wishing to follow the discussions of the Consultation session.
In addition to the formal documentation of the Replenishment Consultation sessions which is available on the Member States Interactive Platform, additional information is available at the IFAD12 microsite here.
A mailing list has been created to facilitate informal interaction among Members of the IFAD12 Replenishment Consultation. Members wishing to be included on this IFAD12 mailing list should contact replenishment@ifad.org.

Distinguished Representatives,
We are pleased to advise that you may now consult the Contributions Handbook for Member States in the four official languages of IFAD.
This Handbook is a step-by-step guide to IFAD’s Replenishment process and provides information on all aspects from contribution types to voting rights. The Handbook reflects the provisions of the IFAD12 Resolution, as adopted by the Governing Council in February 2021.
The Contributions Handbook may be viewed at the following links: (Arabic) (English) (French) (Spanish)
Highest consideration.
