The beneficiary IFAD member countries in Africa are Benin, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Mozambique, Sao Tome and Principe, Uganda, Zimbabwe; in Asia, they are Cambodia, Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Philippines; in Latin America and the Caribbean, they are Brazil, Ecuador, and Haiti; in the Middle East, they are Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan; and in the Pacific, they are Fiji, Tonga, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.

Alignment with MCDF Core Values

MCDF grant-supported capacity development assistance will better position government officials and stakeholders in a multi-regional cross-section of developing countries to implement bankable and sustainable connectivity infrastructure projects in rural areas, backed by IFAD financing.
