I was honoured to meet UNSGSA Queen Máxima Queen Máxima at #Davos2024 Her Majesty is a champion of financial inclusion and a key International Fund for Agricultural Development supporter, particularly our efforts to bring digital tools to rural areas. I look forward to working on our shared priorities further.



66 countries, US$1.34 billion: this a record-breaking step forward on our path to International Fund for Agricultural Development’s biggest replenishment ever. I thank all the Member States pledging today and in the past few months for their support. My full remarks at #IFADGoverningCouncil: bit.ly/3SWtosM

Amazing to see Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 🇩🇰stepping up to support rural people with a contribution to IFAD13 additional climate contributions! It was a pleasure to work alongside Danish colleagues to secure this vital support to International Fund for Agricultural Development

Concessional and good #finance + #artificiallntelligence + dialogue + private sector at the heart of a productive discussion for a food secure future. International Fund for Agricultural Development has a critical role to deliver sustainable food systems and scaling up partnerships!



For every $18 spent on climate mitigation, only $1 is spent on adaptation - and just 0.8% goes to small-scale agriculture. I spoke to Adaptation Fund's Mikko Ollikainen about what International Fund for Agricultural Development is doing to address this gap, like our 45% target of core resources going to climate action.


Thank you #Denmark for your generous Core Additional Climate Contribution to International Fund for Agricultural Development of DKK 129 million. I had the pleasure of receiving confirmation of this in person from Ole Thonke at #COP29. Together, we are supporting poor rural people as they adapt to climate change.



Thank you, #Sweden, for your generous contribution to International Fund for Agricultural Development's 13th Replenishment. Your continued support strengthens our partnership and plays a vital role in transforming the livelihoods of millions of the world’s most vulnerable rural people. bit.ly/4ixK5pa
