An honour to welcome @leslievoltaire, President of the Transitional Presidential Council of Haiti, to @IFAD. The Council is a step towards restoring national security and, in turn, food security and rural development. We're committed to investing in rural people in #Haiti.

IFAD takes south-south and triangular cooperation (SSTC) seriously because we know it can have an exponential impact. I spoke to @CGTNEurope about recent successes in collaboration with #China.
Alvaro Lario, President of the UN specialized agency, the International Fund of Agricultural Development (IFAD), said his organization is working well with China in transferring new agricultural technologies to the developing world. @wef @Davos @IFADPresident @IFAD. #wef25

It's great to be at @wef, putting rural people at the top of the agenda. I've been speaking about the critical challenges the world is facing as we enter 2025 - as well as potential solutions.
The World Economic Forum convenes this week in Davos. @IFAD President Alvaro Lario calls on global leaders to focus on reducing inequalities while driving growth and stability.

To end hunger and poverty, we need private sector investment. Catalysing it is a challenge, but the potential wins are immense. At @wef, I discussed @IFAD's work with the private sector with CEOs, investors and partners such as @SwissDevCoop's Christian Frutiger and @raj_devex.

For five decades, @IFAD has invested in transformative, community-led rural development in Latin America and the Caribbean. I spoke to @casamerica about how small-scale farmers in the region have built resilience with our support – and what actions are needed now.

What an honour to meet with @Pontifex at the Vatican today. It is particularly special to be meeting His Holiness during the #Jubilee2025. His strong support of the world's rural people is invaluable to @IFAD.

With @AECID_es' new Statute, #Spain places multilateralism and the #SDGs at the heart of its foreign policy. Today, I congratulated Minister of Foreign Affairs @jmalbares and @AECID_es Director @anton_leis on the achievement and explored potential for collaboration with @IFAD.

A productive meeting in Madrid with Minister @LuisPlanas. @IFAD and #Spain are both committed to investing in rural resilience so farmers can handle climate, economic or social upheaval. As partners we agree: thriving rural areas are the cornerstone of a more stable world.

The cost of ignoring land degradation is too high. Desertification is swallowing up arable land across Africa, putting millions at risk. But with sustainable practices and @IFAD's support, rural communities are showing us what resilience truly means:

Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season!. As we look back on 2024, I’m inspired by the resilience of rural communities and proud of what we’ve achieved at @IFAD. In 2025, let’s push even harder to create lasting change - together, we can transform food systems for the better.

On #MigrantsDay, let's remember that too many rural families are forced to choose between survival and migration. It's time to offer a different path - one where building a future at home is always an option. @IFAD is committed to making this vision a reality.

Effective marketing is essential for rural entrepreneurs to access new markets. @IFAD provides small-scale farmers across North Africa and the Middle East with the support they need to promote their products and drive growth:
