Investing in Rural People in Africa and Beyond - SDG Media Zone, 80th Session of the UN General Assembly.

Rural people are the backbone of food systems worldwide, yet they continue to face persistent challenges — from climate shocks to structural barriers that limit opportunity. Across Africa, investing in rural people — especially women — holds enormous potential to drive food security, reduce poverty, and advance gender equality. This conversation will highlight IFAD's approach to investing in rural communities in Africa and beyond.

Speakers:

Alvaro Lario, President, International Fund of Agricultural Development (IFAD)

Moderator:

Monicah W. Ndung'u, Chief of Corporate Affairs, Marketing & Partnerships Office, Nation Media Group.
