IFAD to support poor farmers in the rural areas
What Haiti has suffered has devastated all of us,” said Kanayo F. Nwanze, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he emphasized the role the private sector can play in driving economic growth and reducing poverty in rural areas of developing countries. “A coordinated effort to rapidly rebuild Haiti must be led by the country’s government and its people, with the full support of the international community and the private sector.”
