Un aliment n'est jamais seulement un aliment.
Pour la #JournéeMondialedelAlimentation, le FIDA rappelle qu'un 🍍 par exemple peut être aussi un moteur de croissance économique.
Notamment en zones rurales, au premier kilomètre des chaînes de valeur.

Quand les femmes rurales ont accès aux moyens de production et aux compétences, les retombées positives contribuent au-delà desménages à bâtir des communautés rurales +résilientes et +inclusives.

IFAD team led by Country Director Tarek Ahmed paid a courtesy visit to H.E. Daniel Bandar, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Handicrafts of the Union of the Comoros🇰🇲. The meeting was an opportunity to discuss progress and priorities for the FORCE Jeunes project. 1/2
Today's key takeaway from #FAFO2026: Farmers' organizations are not just beneficiaries of development; they are shaping it.
Through dialogue with @IFAD and partners, they are guiding the programmes, investments, and solutions that strengthen rural livelihoods and food systems.
As discussions on #IFAD14 continue, the ESA #FAFO2026 offers an important opportunity to reflect on the value of partnerships between @IFAD and farmers' organizations and how they can be strengthened to reach more rural people and deliver lasting impact.

Today in Nairobi 🇰🇪, Farmers' organizations from across East and Southern Africa are gathering with @IFAD and partners for the Regional Farmers' Forum (#FAFO2026) to strengthen dialogue, share experiences, and build resilient food systems. #FinancingTheFirstMile
"Voilà l'occasion qu'offre #FIDA14 : utiliser nos financements, nos partenariats et notre présence dans les zones rurales pour mobiliser + d’investissements pour des marchés + solides, + d’emplois et une + grande résilience"

Across conversations with governments, development banks, the UN and the private sector, the challenge was clear. Shocks are becoming more frequent, while the public resources available to respond are increasingly constrained.
Development finance therefore must work harder to build resilience before the next crisis arrives. Scarce public resources need to reduce risk, strengthen markets and mobilize additional investment around country priorities. The measure of success is not simply how much we finance, but what that financing makes possible.
For @IFAD, this starts at the first mile. Investing in roads, water, finance, technology, markets and rural businesses makes economies more productive, creates jobs and helps communities withstand shocks. Rural people are not simply recipients of development assistance. They are producers, entrepreneurs and drivers of economic growth.
This week reinforced that no institution can deliver that transformation alone. We need governments, development finance institutions and the private sector working together, each bringing different strengths.
That is the opportunity I see in #IFAD14. To use our financing, partnerships and presence in rural areas to mobilize more investment behind stronger markets, more jobs and greater resilience.
I return to Rome even more convinced that investing at the first mile is an investment in stronger economies, more resilient food systems and greater global stability.

En marge de l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies, j’ai félicité @unfpachief Diene Keita, Directrice exécutive de l’#UNFPA, pour son excellent travail depuis sa nomination.
J’ai aussi plaidé pour une place renforcée du Partenariat de #Ouagadougou. La planification familiale, c’est le pouvoir pour chaque femme de choisir son avenir. Diene Keita est prête à rencontrer @MissBa Marie Ba pour poursuivre cet échange.

Ownership begins where dependency ends.
Yesterday’s discussion with the African-led HIV Control Working Group I confirmed that the future of HIV in Africa will not be determined by donor budgets, but by African leadership, domestic investment and country ownership.
The next chapter must be written by Africa—for Africa, with partners standing alongside us, not in front of us.

Congratulations to #Mozambique on ratifying the African Medicines Agency Treaty and depositing its instrument on 3 September 2026.
Every ratification brings us closer to one Africa, one regulatory space.
I urge all remaining AU Member States: ratify now. Africa cannot wait.
