Recovery, Rebuilding, Resilience

The Consultation on the Twelfth Replenishment of IFAD’s Resources (IFAD12) occurs at a significant moment: with only 10 years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the impacts of critical shocks – including increased climate volatility and the economic and social effects of the crisis brought on by COVID-19 – threaten progress on the eradication of poverty and hunger.

Rural communities are being disproportionately affected. It is clear that, without investing in rural people, the SDGs cannot be achieved.
