Rome - The International Fund for Agricultural Development (Ifad) has approved $88m in grants for climate change adaptation efforts in nine vulnerable countries.
Ifad endorses a new generation of agricultural investment programmes which dedicate concessional loan and grant financing to actions that manage growing climate risks.
The director of IFAD's environment and climate division, Elwyn Grainger-Jones, said: "We're starting to make headway in putting smallholders on the map of climate change through an active advocacy effort in climate and agriculture debates worldwide.”
These projects will benefit poor rural communities in Nigeria, Mali, Rwanda, Djibouti, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Yemen, Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam.
This is one of Ifad's initiatives that also include the Pro-Poor Value Chain Project in Mozambique, which is currently under implementation.
This is funded by Ifad’s new Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (Asap), from contributions of five donor countries: Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
