The year 2024 marked the end of IFAD’s 2022–2024 project cycle. By the end of 2024, IFAD had delivered US$3.336 billion in funding for new projects, representing 99.5 per cent of its target. These new investments respond to a challenging global context, one in which progress in eliminating hunger has stalled.

In the IFAD Annual Report 2024, readers can learn how IFAD’s new and ongoing investments are giving rural people the tools to respond to this context. You can also read about what IFAD is doing to deepen the impact of its investments and to mobilize more finance to scale up its investment in rural people, today and tomorrow.
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development is mentioned in the chapter “Learning, Innovation and Technology”:
“Furthermore, the IFAD-hosted Global Donor Platform for Rural Development provided a space for the donor community to coordinate knowledge and information on food systems policies, such as through its Annual General Assembly on Financing Food Systems Transformation and Rural Revitalization. The platform also contributed to global knowledge on financing food systems, building on its report Unleashing the Catalytic Power of Donor Financing to Achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2, and contributing to FAO’s 2024 report on financing to end hunger, The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World.” (On page 31 of the report)
The Donor Platform Secretariat is hosted by IFAD in Rome, Italy.
