  3. WHO WE ARE? The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): • a specialized agency of the Unites States • was established as an international financial institution in 1977 • one of the major outcomes of the 1974 World Food Conference. • IFAD is dedicated to eradicating rural poverty in developing countries. • Seventy-five per cent of the world’s Strategic Framework for IFAD 2007-2010: Enabling the Rural Poor to Overcome Poverty.

  4. Our Goal IFAD's goal is to empower poor rural women and men in developing countries to achieve higher incomes and improved food security.

  5. Our Objective • IFAD will ensure that poor rural people have better access to, and the skills and organization they need to take advantage of: • Natural resources, especially secure access to land and water, and improved natural resource management and conservation practices • Improved agricultural technologies and effective production services • A broad range of financial services • Transparent and competitive markets for agricultural inputs and produce • Opportunities for rural off-farm employment and enterprise development • Local and national policy and programming processes

  6. Our Objective • Poor people must be able to develop and strengthen their own organizations, so they can advance their own interests and dismantle the obstacles that prevent many of them from creating better lives for themselves. • They must be able to have a say in the decisions and policies that affect their lives, and they need to strengthen their bargaining power in the marketplace.

  7. RURAL POVERTY COUNTRY PROFILE INDONESIA VIET NAM PHILIPPINES

  8. Rural poverty in Philippines • About half the population of the Philippines is rural, and agriculture is the primary and often only source of income for rural poor people. • Poverty is most severe and most widespread in rural areas, where almost 80 per cent of the country’s poor people live. • Most of them depend for a livelihood on subsistence farming and fishing. • In general, illiteracy, unemployment and the incidence of poverty are higher among indigenous peoples and people in the upland areas of the Philippines. • Overall, more than one out of three people in the Philippines lives in poverty.

  9. Where are they? • Despite progress in reducing the overall level of poverty in the country, disparity among regions is increasing and the poverty gap between urban and rural areas is widening. • Since 1990, urban poverty has dropped by 14 per cent while rural poverty has decreased by only 4 per cent. • Among the regions that have seen the largest increases in poverty are those in the southern island group, including the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao and Region XII on Mindanao Island, and Bicol in the Visayas region. • Rural people in Western Mindanao are among the poorest in the country.

  10. Agriculture and Economy • Agriculture plays a major role in generating income and employment in rural areas of the Philippines. • Although the sector is growing at an average rate of 3 to 5 per cent, production is not keeping pace with population growth. • A large part of Philippine agriculture operates at subsistence level and is vulnerable to year-to-year weather changes. • About six out of ten people in rural areas depend on agriculture for their livelihood. • On Mindanao, almost one third of the land is devoted to agriculture, and the island accounts for 40 per cent of the Philippines’ food requirements, contributing more than 30 per cent to the country’s food trade 

  11. Rural poverty in Indonesia • More than half of Indonesia's 235 million people are poor. • Most struggle to survive on less than US$2 a day, and are at risk of even more severe poverty. • About 18 per cent live on US$1 or less. • Approximately 60 per cent of the population live in rural areas where agriculture is the main source of livelihood.

  12. Where are Indonesia's rural poor people? • The poorest areas of Indonesia are the remote eastern islands, where 95 per cent of people in rural communities are poor. • In the most densely populated islands of Java and Bali, poverty exists but there are opportunities to make it more transient. • On average, poverty rates in Bali and Java range between 14 and 31 per cent.

  13. Agriculture and the economy • Indonesia is the only one that has not bounced back to its previous level of economic growth, which stood at 7 to 8 per cent. • After the crisis, economic growth has stagnated at about 4 per cent. • As a result, finding work has become more difficult. Unemployment in 2002 was 9.1 per cent.

  14. Agriculture and the economy • The major employer in Indonesia is agriculture, which absorbs about 44 per cent of the workforce, while industry absorbs 19 per cent and services 37 per cent. • Natural resource-based enterprises are also a major source of livelihood for rural people, along with off-farm income-generating activities. • Agricultural productivity has decreased considerably as a result of the Asian financial crisis, and in some sub-sectors growth rates have not resumed. • Real wages in agriculture have been stationary and are still below 1996 levels. Instead, wages in manufacturing and government service have been increasing.

  15. Rural poverty in Viet Nam • Despite recent economic gains, Viet Nam remains a low-income country. • Even slight variations in the definition of poverty can push them over that line, sending the poverty rate up. • Viet Nam is primarily an agrarian society. More than three quarters of the population, and 90 per cent of poor people overall, live in rural areas, mainly near river deltas. Almost 80 per cent of the country's poor people depend on agriculture for their livelihood.

  16. Who are Viet Nam's rural poor? • The poorest people in Viet Nam include: • members of the country's 53 ethnic minority groups, who depend mainly on forest resources for a livelihood (they constitute only 13 per cent of the population but account for almost 30 per cent of poor people) • people living in remote (often upland) areas with a poor natural resource base • people living in coastal areas that are more prone to adverse climatic events • households headed by women • households with disabled members • migrants • landless people

  17. Agriculture and the economy • About 70 per cent of the country’s labor force works in agriculture and forestry, but cultivated land is scarce (consisting of 21 per cent of land area) and deforestation is a serious threat to the natural resource base. • Gross domestic product (GDP) in 2003 was almost US$40 billion. • Agriculture’s share of GDP in 2003 was about 22 per cent, a sharp decrease from 40 per cent of GDP in 1991 (World Bank). • Rice accounts for more than half of total agricultural output. Viet Nam is the world’s second largest exporter of rice after Thailand. Farmers also produce robusta coffee, rubber, sugar cane and cashew

  18. IFAD OPERATIONS INDONESIA VIET NAM PHILIPPINES

  19. IFAD in the Philippines • IFAD works with the government and other partners to help reduce poverty in some of the poorest areas in the country: Bicol, Panay Island, Samar and Leyte, Northern Mindanao and Caraga. IFAD loans support: • decentralization, by strengthening capacities of local institutions • enterprise and market development • private sector involvement in operations • improved management of natural resources and the environment • access to assets, technologies and markets.

  20. IFAD in the Philippines • Western Mindanao Community Initiatives Project • Nothern Mindanao Community Iniatives Project • Rural Microenterprice Promotion Programme

  21. IFAD in Indonesia • During 25 years of experience in Indonesia, IFAD has learned that there is a need for the organization to: • increase and deepen its contribution to policy change based on the experience of its field operations • achieve a better balance between empowerment of the poor and investment to raise farm and non-farm productivity • promote the development of markets and market linkages and agro-processing activities • establish and nourish strategic partnerships with NGOs and community-based organizations working with the poor to find new and workable solutions to raising incomes and empowering poor rural people • further improve effectiveness, impact and sustainability of project interventions • give adequate attention to implementation support • support community participation in village infrastructure investment, maintenance and operation to contribute to a greater sense of ownership and responsibility

  22. IFAD in Indonesia 1. Post Crisis programme for Participatory Integrated Development in rainfed areas. 2. Rural Empowerment for agricultural development Programme in Central Sulawesi

  23. IFAD in Viet Nam • IFAD programmes and projects in Viet Nam: • increase access to human and social assets by building the capacity of poor rural people and their institutions, improving women’s status and improving food security by diversifying rural incomes and increasing rural employment • increase access to productive assets, such as land, credit and forest resources, and promote access to technology, to help poor rural people improve resource management and infrastructure • promote good governance, with emphasis on decentralized project management and grass-roots participation, and on promoting policy reforms

  24. IFAD in Viet Nam • Rural Income Diversification Project in Tuyen Quang Province • Decentralized Programme for Rural Poverty Reduction in Ha Giang and Quang Binh Provinces • Programme for Improving Market Participation of the Poor in Ha Tinh and Tra Vinh Provinces • Programme for Improving Market Participation of the Poor in Ha Tinh and Tra Vinh Provinces

  25. CONCLUSION • IFAD right now has been contributed to many kind of development project and programs that help many poor country to assist them in enhancing the agriculture sector or etc. • The programs also assisted project participants to diversify their activities. Today they are engaged not only in fisheries, but also in agriculture, micro-enterprise and self-help community initiatives. • As we can see, all of the programs that been introduced has helped them and give positive impact in long term because of the continuity support in not only in financing but also the training program and etc. • We can conclude that such a program is needed to help poor country in closing the gap between the developed country to a better and fair world not only in economic aspect but also in the social value.
