enable poor rural people to overcome poverty.

annually. The AVP provides leadership to the over 250 staff of the Department,
including staff in 40 IFAD country offices. S/he oversees project
identification, design, financing, and supervision work.
IFAD is looking
for professionals with strategic vision, a solid team orientation, proven
capacity to generate results, and a deep understanding of and commitment to
development.

of working effectively in multi-stakeholder environments.

agricultural development.
