A joint donor initiative
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development is a network of bilateral and multilateral donors and international financing institutions who share a common vision of the role that agriculture and rural development plays in reducing poverty.
Mission Statement
We are committed to achieving increased development assistance impact and more effective investment in rural development and agriculture.
Most of the world’s extremely poor people live in rural areas. They depend on agriculture and other rural jobs for their livelihoods. Effective aid for rural development is thus fundamental to poverty reduction.
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development was established in 2004 to unite major bilateral and multilateral donors and development agencies in a concerted effort to adjust the rural development agenda.
Platform members aim to reduce poverty by promoting economic growth in rural areas in developing countries. On the Platform they work together to improve aid effectiveness in line with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the Rome Declaration on Harmonisation. They seek to enhance coordination, communication and shared learning between all development partners:
- Formulating common donor policies
- Reducing duplication of efforts and improving mutual understanding between all development partners
- Advising on how harmonisation and alignment raises the level of effectiveness of agriculture and rural development initiatives
