[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

With @AECID_es' new Statute, #Spain places multilateralism and the #SDGs at the heart of its foreign policy.

Today, I congratulated Minister of Foreign Affairs @jmalbares and @AECID_es Director @anton_leis on the achievement and explored potential for collaboration with @IFAD.

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

A productive meeting in Madrid with Minister @LuisPlanas.

@IFAD and #Spain are both committed to investing in rural resilience so farmers can handle climate, economic or social upheaval.

As partners we agree: thriving rural areas are the cornerstone of a more stable world.

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

Pleasure to meet with PM @sanchezcastejon today.

#Spain is a vital @IFAD partner: a champion of financial innovation and locally-driven rural development.

Ahead of #FfD4, we are committed to ensuring no one is left behind in the pursuit of a fairer, more sustainable world.

A huge thank you to #Sweden 🇸🇪 for their generous pledge and continued support for small-scale farmers and rural development.

Your commitment is making a lasting impact on global food systems and improving livelihoods for millions.

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

Thank you, #Sweden, for your generous contribution to @IFAD's 13th Replenishment.

Your continued support strengthens our partnership and plays a vital role in transforming the livelihoods of millions of the world’s most vulnerable rural people.

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

Thank you #Denmark for your generous Core Additional Climate Contribution to @IFAD of DKK 129 million.

I had the pleasure of receiving confirmation of this in person from @MFASustGrowth at #COP29.

Together, we are supporting poor rural people as they adapt to climate change.

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

For every $18 spent on climate mitigation, only $1 is spent on adaptation - and just 0.8% goes to small-scale agriculture.

I spoke to @adaptationfund's Mikko Ollikainen about what @IFAD is doing to address this gap, like our 45% target of core resources going to climate action.

[International Fund for Agricultural Development @IFAD]

1 in 5 people in Africa faced hunger in 2023, and the trend is worsening.

The #SOFI2024 report reveals a stagnation in progress toward ending global hunger and malnutrition.

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

66 countries, US$1.34 billion: this a record-breaking step forward on our path to @IFAD’s biggest replenishment ever.

I was honoured to meet @UNSGSA Queen Máxima at #Davos2024

Her Majesty is a champion of financial inclusion and a key @IFAD supporter, particularly our efforts to bring digital tools to rural areas.

I look forward to working on our shared priorities further.
