The #MatteiPlan unites @IFAD, @SocialMasaf, @MEF_GOV, @ItalyMFA, @CDP, @AICSDakar, Bonifiche Ferraresi & #Senegal to sowing the seeds of #FoodSecurity & thriving #RuralCommunities. 🌱

Strong partnerships and shared goals are critical to building food sovereignty & a better future for rural people.
I was encouraged to see alignment between #Senegal & #Italy at #AFSForum2025, with investment from Bonifiche Ferraresi making their joint vision a real possibility.

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

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.

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.

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.
