Foreword It is 30 years since OPEC member countries set off the chain of events that led to the establishment of IFAD and the OPEC Fund for International Development. Created in response to the world food crisis that was devastating many developing countries in the mid-1970s, IFAD represented a recognition by the international community that a global alliance with shared goals was needed to eradicate poverty and hunger. The establishment of the OPEC Fund was a significant gesture of the solidarity of OPEC member states with the developing world. The creation of both institutions in the same period reflected broad acknowledgement that partnerships were a key to addressing urgent global problems. Over almost three decades, IFAD and the OPEC Fund have crafted a unique partnership that transcends mere financial cooperation. The partnership is rooted in a common goal: enabling poor people, especially in rural areas, to secure a better life. We work together to design, finance and implement development programmes and projects in some of the poorest and most vulnerable rural communities in developing countries. What made this partnership unique at its founding is still true today. IFAD represented a new type of partnership between OPEC countries and industrialized countries, and between developing countries and developed countries. OPEC member countries provided the will and substantial resources, in partnership with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), of the countries to make IFAD a reality. 3
