Commitment description

IFAD is committed to addressing the nutrition needs of the rural poor by integrating nutrition in its programme of loans and grants. These include the country strategic opportunities programmes (COSOP) in each country and investment projects in agriculture, rural development and more broadly in food systems. Such investments identify clear impact pathways through which they can maximize their contribution to healthy diets and improved nutrition at all stages of food value chains (production, packaging, transporting, distribution, marketing) and by ensuring consumer demand for healthy choices, changes in food consumption patterns and coordination with other sectors and stakeholders
