IFAD’s strategy in Pakistan focuses on poor communities in rural areas, especially herders, landless people and smallholders. Increasingly, programmes and projects target the most disadvantaged regions, particularly tribal areas and semi-arid, mountainous and environmentally-sensitive areas. An important aspect of IFAD’s work in Pakistan has been the development of rainfed agriculture, previously neglected in favour of the irrigated sector. IFAD’s main objective is to reduce rural poverty by boosting productivity and raising incomes. It supports efforts to introduce technological improvements in livestock, agriculture, irrigation and mechanization. IFAD-funded programmes and projects help make credit and markets more accessible, and help communities organize groups to manage finances and disseminate training and knowledge. At the policy and institutional level, IFAD’s programmes and projects work to secure long-term access to land and water resources for rural poor people.
