How can IFAD raise country programme performance to fully satisfactory? 5

2017 ARRI findings • Good operational performance is linked to well-defined targeting strategies . • Promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment is critical to realize Agenda 2030. • Raising M&E performance requires disaggregated evidence in strategic areas – climate change and food security. • Successful management of fiduciary responsibility requires rigor, not rigidity. • KM, partnerships and policy dialogue area catalysts for greater rural poverty impact. 6

Recommendations • Fully Satisfactory Performance: Build on strengths, address bottlenecks and introduce a new modus operandi. • Gender Transformation: Introduce gender transformative approaches to substantially contribute to SDGs. • Better evidence: Improve data granularity in strategic areas of focus – climate change and food security. • Non-lending activities : Systematize KM, partnership and policy engagement – to unlock their potential to scale up country program results • Fiduciary requirements: Extend country differentiation to procurement, while supporting long-term national capacity improvements • 2018 ARRI Learning Theme: “Pro - poor” targeting strategies 7
