IFAD’s South-South and Triangular Cooperation Strategy for 2022-2027 aims to further mainstream and institutionalize SSTC in the Fund’s country programmes, and to contribute to doubling and deepening IFAD’s impact by pursuing two objectives:

• Systematically identifying and disseminating knowledge and innovations at the country programme and project level;
• Supporting enhanced policy engagement aimed at enhancing rural poor people’s productive capacities, market access and resilience.

In line with the IFAD12 business model, the strategy envisions that a stronger focus on SSTC will help IFAD build partnerships, pursue policy engagement and generate innovation and knowledge in support of rural development.
