The President is IFAD’s most senior position with responsibility for leading the organization and chairing its Executive Board. Nominations for President can only be made by IFAD Member States and must be received by the Secretary of IFAD no later than 1 December 2016.
The next IFAD President will take up the helm at a time when boosting
investments in smallholder agriculture will be essential to achieving
the Sustainable Development Goals of ending poverty and hunger. Indeed,
in a rapidly changing world with growing demand for food, increased
migration to cities and the impact of climate change and environmental
degradation, IFAD investments in rural areas of developing countries
have never been as relevant and important.
Following the nomination process, the appointment of the next President will take place on 14 February 2017 during IFAD’s annual Governing Council meeting in Rome. The Governing Council is IFAD's principle governing body with full decision-making powers.
The President of IFAD serves a four-year term, renewable once.
The newly elected President will take office on 1 April 2017.
