Global Donor Platform for Rural Development

The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development is a network of 38 bilateral and multilateral development agencies, international financing institutions and intergovernmental organisations. The Platform was formed in 2003 through the collective action to lobby for increased public and private investments in agriculture and rural development. The promotion of development effectiveness for inclusive and sustainable rural transformation as a prime objective of the Platform derives from the global call to implement Agenda 2030 and the agreement on Finance for Development by the international community and developing countries.
