ADB President Donald Kaberuka said that the study could make an important addition to knowledge in the two agencies as well as in other institutions working in rural development in Africa.
The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of the two institution's policies, programmes and projects in stimulating rural development and reducing poverty. It will also examine the relevance of their work to the development strategies of the beneficiary countries and to the situation and needs of the rural poor.
The review will guide the Bank and IFAD on how to strengthen their work together in the future and in finding the most appropriate roles within the increasingly complex development assistance landscape in Africa.
Since the late 1970s, the two institutions have invested more than $10 bn in agriculture and rural development work in Africa.
