Our Workstreams

Agrifood systems intersect with economic growth, food security, climate resilience, trade, and geopolitical stability. Through its work programme, the Platform aims to equip donors with the evidence, strategic narratives, and coordination mechanisms to act collectively and position agrifood systems as high-impact investments that benefit partner and donor countries.

The GDPRD responds to emerging donor coordination issues through results-driven workstreams identified by its Board as most pertinent to rural development, food security, and food systems transformation.

Each workstream has a clear objective, work plan and timeline, delivering practical outputs for the donor community and rural development networks.
