Covid-19 Rural Poor Stimulus Facility (single phase)
Established by The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Rural Poor Stimulus Facility (RPSF) addresses immediate impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic on rural people, prevents the erosion of results from past and ongoing operations, and puts in place building blocks to support post crisis recovery and long term resilience. As an IFAD member state, Switzerland joins international efforts with this time-bound response to prevent the health crisis from turning into a food crisis.

Contexte |
The Covid-19 pandemic is a health and humanitarian crisis threatening the food security and nutrition of millions of people around the world. An estimated 2 billion people in the world did not have regular access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food in 2019.Before the virus hit, and it is estimated that an additional 130 million will suffer acute food insecurity[1]. The consequences of the pandemic and the measures taken (lockdowns, closure of borders) have affected already unsustainable food systems. The United Nations Secretary-General has launched a Call for Solidarity for urgent and coordinated global action. In this context, one of IFAD’s strategic response to COVID-19 is the establishment of a rapid-response Rural Poor Stimulus Facility to address the key immediate challenges faced by small-scale farmers as a consequence of COVID-19.

Objectifs | To improve the food security, nutrition and resilience of poor rural people affected by the COVID-19 crisis, in line with the United Nations framework for the immediate socioeconomic response to the pandemic. |
Groupes cibles |
Depending on the resources mobilized: between 1 and 7 million rural smallholders affected by COVID-19, with a special focus on countries with the greatest needs and low institutional capacity to respond to the crisis. IFAD will seek to support rural people that are at highest risk of falling back into poverty or food insecurity. The priority will be given to people living in fragile situations (particularly in sub-Saharan Africa), women, youth, indigenous people, displaced people and people with disabilities. |
Effets à moyen terme |
1. Minimise impact on productivity and benefits from market 2. Food availability and prices are not affected 3. Rural employment on family farms and at small and medium 4. Producers avoid negative scoping strategies such a selling 5. Digital services leveraged in rural areas |
