IFAD Global Investments
• Since the start of its operations in 1987, IFAD invested about
US$ 12 billion in some 840 projects in 117 developing countries
• Total cost exceeding US$30 billion, including about US$10
billion of national financing (governments, local institutions and
beneficiaries) and about US$8 billion in co-financing from
external sources (donors)
• The share of countries covered by the Near East and North
Africa Division (including NENA and CEN regions) amounts to
about US$ 2 billion (16%)
Overview of IFAD Investments in LAS Countries
1978-2009
• US$ 1.45 billion investment (13% of global),
generating:
- About US$1.3 billion in co-financing from
external sources
- About US$ 2 billion in national contributions
• Number of beneficiaries exceeds 3.8 million
households ( about 22.3 million poor rural
people)
In addition:
• IFAD extended over US$110 million in regional
grants in support of agricultural research,
technology transfer and capacity-building
• 119 investment projects in 14 countries: Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti,
Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Somalia, Sudan,
Syria, Tunisia and Yemen
• Total project costs amount to about US$ 5 billion
On-going IFAD Operations in LAS Countries
• Total project costs amount to about
US$ 921 million
• IFAD’s investments of US$ 415
million generated:
- About US$209 million in co-
financing from external sources
- About US$ 297 million in national
contributions
•32 projects in 12 countries: Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt,
Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan,
Syria, Tunisia and Yemen
On-going grant activities in LAS countries
• Amounting to over US$ 12
million
• focus on natural resources
management, agricultural
production, capacity
building, market access and
food security
•36 on-going country-specific grants in 15 countries:
Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Mauritania,
Morocco, Palestine, Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen
IFAD Thematic Priorities in the Arab States
• Providing microfinance for the
rural poor
• Reducing unemployment,
particularly among rural youth
• Linking small growers with
domestic and international
markets
In addition:
• Post-conflict rural reconstruction
rehabilitation of food production
• Improving agricultural productivity and food security
• Reducing vulnerability to climate change, addressing
water scarcity
Current tends and challenges
• IPCC predicts a hotter and drier NENA region, with largely reduced
precipitation and occasional devastating flash floods.
• Fewer less intense precipitations are observed throughout NENA,
with further 20-40 % reduction in average annual rainfall predicted.
Increasing water scarcity
• 80-100 million people will be exposed to water stress by 2025, with
progressive depletion of underground water.
• By 2025, the per capita water supply will be down to 500m3 from
3,300m3 in 1960.
North Kordofan, Sudan
Poor agriculture
• Only 36% or 71 million hectares out of 198 million hectares of arable
land in the Arab region are cultivated¹.
• Agriculture consumes over 83% of available fresh water²; but
increasingly loosing to competing demand (e.g. human
consumption).
• Cultivated area could decrease significantly should the trend of the
past 30 years of diminishing public investment in the sector
continues (from an annual average of US$6.1 billion in 1986-90 to US$1.9 billion in 1996–2000).
• So far results:
- A decline of its share in total exports from16% in 1970 to 7% in 2006³.
- A decline in its contribution GDP from 15% in 2000 to 12.6% in 2006.
• Rainfed crop yields could drop by 50% by 2020 in certain countries,
due to the decrease in the average rainfall.
Sea level rise
• Sea level is projected to rise by 0.8 meter to 2.0 meters by 2100, with the Arab
region suffering the worst social, economic, and ecological impacts, including:
 loss of low-lying coastal areas mostly in six countries and affecting 43 port cities of
the region.
 increased coastal erosion and degrade natural ecosystems, incl coral reefs and
biodiversity.
 Loss of vast farming land and with it the livelihood of millions of small farmers and
poor rural people.
 Example: In Egypt’s Delta a 0.5 meter rise would inundate 1,800 Km² of cropland
and displace about 4 million people.
Main thematic issues to tackle over next 5 years
• Addressing unprecedented NR problems, especially water scarcity
• Advising governments against reverting back to unsustainable agricultural
policies
• Providing attractive financial products to NENA governments
- Increased attention to agriculture will mean increasing demand for IFAD loans
- BUT, IFAD financial products are out-dated, PBAS is a limiting factor, and
some MICs not willing to borrow at ordinary terms
• Increased demand for innovation and assistance in replicating and up-scaling
new best practices for rural poverty reduction (e.g. rural finance, unemployment,
rural advisory services, etc.)
• Attracting public and private investments to the agricultural and rural sectors
Dealing with poor governance

On-going grant activities in LAS countries • Amounting to over US$ 12 million • focus on natural resources management, agricultural production, capacity building, market access and food security •36 on-going country-specific grants in 15 countries: Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen
  • 7. IFAD Thematic Priorities in the Arab States • Providing microfinance for the rural poor • Reducing unemployment, particularly among rural youth • Linking small growers with domestic and international markets In addition: • Post-conflict rural reconstruction rehabilitation of food production • Improving agricultural productivity and food security • Reducing vulnerability to climate change, addressing water scarcity
  • 8. Current tends and challenges • IPCC predicts a hotter and drier NENA region, with largely reduced precipitation and occasional devastating flash floods. • Fewer less intense precipitations are observed throughout NENA, with further 20-40 % reduction in average annual rainfall predicted.
  • 9. Increasing water scarcity • 80-100 million people will be exposed to water stress by 2025, with progressive depletion of underground water. • By 2025, the per capita water supply will be down to 500m3 from 3,300m3 in 1960. North Kordofan, Sudan
  • 10. Poor agriculture • Only 36% or 71 million hectares out of 198 million hectares of arable land in the Arab region are cultivated¹. • Agriculture consumes over 83% of available fresh water²; but increasingly loosing to competing demand (e.g. human consumption). • Cultivated area could decrease significantly should the trend of the past 30 years of diminishing public investment in the sector continues (from an annual average of US$6.1 billion in 1986-90 to US$1.9 billion in 1996–2000). • So far results: - A decline of its share in total exports from16% in 1970 to 7% in 2006³. - A decline in its contribution GDP from 15% in 2000 to 12.6% in 2006. • Rainfed crop yields could drop by 50% by 2020 in certain countries, due to the decrease in the average rainfall.
  • 11. Sea level rise • Sea level is projected to rise by 0.8 meter to 2.0 meters by 2100, with the Arab region suffering the worst social, economic, and ecological impacts, including:  loss of low-lying coastal areas mostly in six countries and affecting 43 port cities of the region.  increased coastal erosion and degrade natural ecosystems, incl coral reefs and biodiversity.  Loss of vast farming land and with it the livelihood of millions of small farmers and poor rural people.  Example: In Egypt’s Delta a 0.5 meter rise would inundate 1,800 Km² of cropland and displace about 4 million people.
  • 12. Main thematic issues to tackle over next 5 years • Addressing unprecedented NR problems, especially water scarcity • Advising governments against reverting back to unsustainable agricultural policies • Providing attractive financial products to NENA governments - Increased attention to agriculture will mean increasing demand for IFAD loans - BUT, IFAD financial products are out-dated, PBAS is a limiting factor, and some MICs not willing to borrow at ordinary terms • Increased demand for innovation and assistance in replicating and up-scaling new best practices for rural poverty reduction (e.g. rural finance, unemployment, rural advisory services, etc.) • Attracting public and private investments to the agricultural and rural sectors Dealing with poor governance
