Innovation for IFAD means finding creative ways to deliver better results quicker by using new approaches or applying existing techniques to new situations. CDI ran the challenge as a global competition via an online platform so all IFAD colleagues across country offices could participate and vote on winners as part of the selection process.
IFAD funded ten proposals to test new ways of doing things, including through ideas like machine learning, remote sensing, virtual reality and even board games. The first group of IFAD Innovators will finish their projects in early 2020 and IFAD will look into scale up results.
