The 48th governing council of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is taking place on Wednesday in Rome, with Morocco’s participation.
This session is attended by several Heads of State and government representatives, as well as development agencies and international financial institutions. Morocco is represented by a delegation chaired by Ambassador Youssef Balla, Permanent Representative of the Kingdom to the UN agencies in Rome.
Morocco’s participation in this event reflect the Kingdom’s commitment as a regional and international player to developing agriculture, defending the developing countries’ interests, through initiatives aimed at strengthening resilience for small producers in the face of climate change and food crises.
This session was an opportunity for the Moroccan delegation to follow closely and contribute to discussions on IFAD’s work program and budget outlook, in order to ensure greater effectiveness of funding allocated to projects in the field, namely in Africa.
During this two-day event, governors will proceed to assess the progress made and adopt the work program and budget for 2025.
The Governing Council is IFAD’s highest decision-making body and consists of IFAD’s 178 Member States. IFAD is the only UN agency exclusively dedicated to transforming agriculture, rural economies and food systems.
