Key messages from the event "Assessing the Data ‘Quantum’ Leap in Agriculture and Food Systems" on 13 February 2023, jointly organized by the European Commission, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development (GDPRD) and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (GPSDD).
In our seventh segment, the Platform interviews Ron Hartman, Director of Global Engagement, Partnerships and Resource Mobilization at IFAD. Ron talks about the ever-changing donor landscape, and why 2023 is a significant moment not only for IFAD but also for our most vulnerable rural populations facing food insecurity.
Agriculture and food security remain high on Switzerland’s development priorities. Cooperation is key to balancing emergency assistance with building long-term resilience, both crucial to ensure people’s livelihoods are never at stake. Meet our GDPRD Board member Bruce Campbell of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
