🙏 for a fruitful exchange with India’s candidate for IFAD’s Presidency.
IFAD is instrumental in fighting food insecurity worldwide and in achieving SDG#1 & 2 (no poverty & zero hunger).
The adverse impacts of climate changes can be devastating for agriculture, disproportionately affecting the poor. Strategic partnerships are thus, key for leveraging combined capacities to address such global challenges

I have been nominated by India for the Presidency of IFAD. It is an unique opportunity to address the issue of poverty and hunger in rural areas and attain SDGs drawing from my experience of over 3 decades in India and close association with UN agencies.
