The Governing Council is IFAD’s main decision-making body. It consists of all of IFAD’s Member States and meets annually.
The forty-fifth session, taking place on 16 February 2022, will focus on the overarching theme “Leveraging innovations and finance for a climate-resilient and inclusive recovery.”
Currently, just 1.7 % of global climate finance goes to small-scale farmers in developing countries. IFAD is committed to changing this and has dedicated 40% of its core resources to climate finance.
By making climate finance more accessible to small-scale producers, climate-induced food insecurity can be addressed through increasing resilience while reducing greenhouse gases.
