Since 1964, the Investment Centre of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has helped design and implement investment projects to reduce poverty, hunger and malnutrition and advance sustainable development.
The Investment Centre acts as a bridge between countries and financing partners to create the enabling conditions for greater public and private investment to accelerate the transformation to more sustainable agrifood systems. It works in around 120 countries with an ever-expanding network of financing institutions, including the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Commission. Its growing multidisciplinary team draws from FAO’s vast technical, policy and analytical expertise to provide countries with tailored, innovative and scalable investment and finance solutions.
