International Fund for Agricultural Development (Cambodia)

In Cambodia, IFAD loans support rural and agricultural development through a programmatic approach. Activities target the provinces with the highest rates of poverty and within those provinces, the poorest rural people and communities. The IFAD country strategic opportunities programme, currently covering IFAD's strategy till 2021, supports the government's poverty reduction initiatives. All IFAD projects are aligned with the Government's national development strategies, in particular the Royal Government of Cambodia's Rectangular Strategy Phase IV.

Key activities include:

• Enabling poor smallholders to take advantage of market opportunities;
• Increasing resilience to climate change and other shocks in poor rural households and communities;
• Improving poor households' access to rural services.
