policies that enable poor rural
people to overcome poverty.

Department (PMD) is responsible for
the delivery of this work. It is led by

of IFAD. The PMD is responsible for

billion annually. The AVP provides
leadership to the over 250 staff of

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

organizations and a track record of

international policy debates on
agricultural development.
