The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), an agency of the United Nations, has been ranked as number one by the well regarded and influential Quality of Official Development Assistance Report.

“IFAD’s high ranking is a testament to the importance we place on ensuring that every dollar spent has a long-term impact on tackling the hunger and poverty experienced by the world’s most vulnerable people,” said Gilbert F. Houngbo, President of IFAD. “It also highlights the transparency of our funding model, the alignment of our work with countries’ own development priorities, and the importance we attach to evaluating our work.”
