Our Mission
The Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), is the only multilateral financing and partnership platform addressing food and nutrition security that leverages the capacities of all the Multilateral Development Banks, leading UN Agencies, civil society organizations, private investors, and governments in low-income countries. GAFSP was launched by the G20 in the wake of the 2007–08 food price crisis and aims to foster sustainable and resilient agriculture and food systems in the world’s most vulnerable countries. GAFSP provides financial and technical resources—investment grants, technical assistance, concessional finance, and advisory services—to demand driven projects along the food chain, from farm to table.
