We target funding to countries with the greatest needs and where it is likely to have the biggest impact. Before the projects are even selected, the recipient country is in the driver’s seat: designing the project, holding consultations with stakeholders, and identifying partners to work with.

Investment in agriculture is crucial to alleviate hunger and lift millions out of poverty. Improved food systems can raise farmers’ incomes, help adapt and build farmers’ resilience to the changing climate, and provide access to safe and nutritious food.

We incentivize countries to prioritize strategic and effective agriculture and food policies and projects. We help with implementation of global initiatives like Scaling Up Nutrition, Committee on World Food Security, Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme.

We provide blended finance solutions and advisory services to support projects with a high potential for impact but may not generally attract commercial funding due to perceived high risks.

We place great importance on learning in everything we do. We continuously report on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and against the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES).
