This OECD website provides profiles with detailed policies and financing for international development by provider. Profiles include information on where the money flows, what it funds and how it is managed.
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development’s Thematic Working Group on Sustainable/Blended Finance for Food Systems, in partnership with the Agri-SME Learning Collective (ASLC), is pleased to share the key findings from phase one pilot testing of the Catalytic Capital Framework.
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.
The OECD proposes a systemic approach grounded in better data, more and better development finance, and supportive policy environments. Achieving this will require bold political leadership and international coordination. This paper sets the foundation to turn the promise of private capital into tangible outcomes for people, the planet, and prosperity.
The latest report from the UNDP Sustainable Finance Hub shows that for every US$1 received in funding between 2022 and 2024, UNDP promoted nearly US$60 in public and private investments aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
This report, authored by ISF Advisors, explores best practices in deploying concessional capital to agri-SME investment funds, addressing Africa's US$75 billion financing gap and promoting impactful, transparent investment strategies.
The Agri-SME Learning Collective (ASLC) has developed a new segmentation guide to help support organizations to tailor their services to the real needs of agri-businesses.
This report analyses the agrifood financing landscape, particularly in light of the current global polycrisis, and provides recommendations for reform to ensure that sufficient funding reaches the countries and people most in need.
The Donor Platform’s Thematic Working Group on Sustainable/Blended Finance for Food Systems, in partnership with the Agri-SME Learning Collective (ASLC), announces the donor testing cohort for the Catalytic Capital Framework. These donors are key to testing the framework, offering real-world insights on deploying catalytic capital to drive meaningful change in the agri-SME sector.
Global food systems face a financing crisis, with an annual shortfall of up to $400 billion needed for transformation. Meanwhile, the hidden costs of food production—ranging from environmental damage to health impacts—amount to US$12 trillion each year. As donor priorities shift, can development aid be reimagined to build resilient, sustainable food systems? This article explores the path forward for development communities across the world.
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development is a vibrant partnership, advocacy and knowledge network of key donors focusing on food security and rural development.
