Concluding my visit to #Ireland, I had the opportunity to meet with several of @IFAD’s long-standing partners in Ireland and discuss how we can advance our shared work on food security, rural transformation and resilient food systems.
In my meetings with @martinheydonfg, re_ie, Members of the Joint Committees on Agriculture and Foreign Affairs and Trade we discussed the importance of investing in rural markets, employment and resilience.
I valued the opportunity to engage with Irish government partners. Their engagement matters. Food security is directly linked to climate, economic and conflict related shock. Investment in food security and rural transformation present an important opportunity for economic prosperity and stability.
Ireland is an important and long-standing partner for IFAD. Its priorities are closely aligned with IFAD’s mandate and with the focus of #IFAD14. Out partnership shows what effective multilateral finance can do when it is focused, country-led and linked to clear results.
IFAD’s work is practical. We invest in rural people so they can increase incomes, access markets, adapt to climate shocks and build stronger local economies. Between 2022 to 2024, IFAD-supported investments increased the incomes of 49 million rural people by an average of 34%. Market access and agricultural production also improved for tens of millions more.
IFAD14 is about scaling what works. Connecting capital with results, strengthening rural economies and building resilience where food systems begin.
