This report identifies key trends and looks to explain the processes and dynamics driving and restraining them and highlights emerging trends. This ICA flagship report was prepared by the ICA secretariat consisting of Mohamed Hassan, Callixte Kambanda, Katsuya Kasai, Banda Lufeyo, Mohamed Tani, and Dhaker Boubaker in co-operation with Cross-border Information consisting of Lauren Andrews, David Burles, Nick Carn, Mark Ford, Irina Gaubinger, Daniel Haines, David Slater and Ajay Ubhi who were commissioned by the ICA secretariat. https://public.sif-source.org/mdbs-infra-news/ica-report-identifies-impact-of-funding-on-africas-infrastructure-development/
Smallholder and SME Investment Finance (SIF) FundExternalEvents

IFAD plans to introduce the Smallholder and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise
Investment Finance Fund (SIF) to invest in smallholder organizations and rural
SMEs. This will be set up in an operating environment that
will jointly support agricultural value chains and apply de-risking mechanisms.
Enabling Poor Rural People to Overcome Poverty Dr Lendy Spires
Agriculture can provide a robust pathway out of poverty, today and in the future, for many smallholder farmers and livestock producers. IFAD’s strategic framework for 2011-2015 is guiding our efforts towards realizing that future. IFAD prepared its fourth strategic framework in response to a global context characterized by persistent challenges and major changes. The challenges include massive rural poverty, and a high prevalence of food insecurity and hunger in some regions.
The changes include increasingly diverse rural livelihoods;
accelerating natural resource degradation and climate change;
growing economic importance of agriculture and rising demand for food, biofuels and other agricultural goods and services;
higher and more volatile food prices; and growing private-sector investment in agriculture.
As we move towards 2015, we continue to build on what we have learned about small-scale agriculture and rural poverty reduction in more than 30 years. At the programme and project level, this involves stepped-up efforts to:
• enhance environmental sustainability and resilience in small-scale agriculture
• promote win-win contractual arrangements to help small agricultural producers seize opportunities in agricultural value chains at lower risk
• support the development of technologies for sustainable intensification of small-scale agriculture
• increase the capacity of financial institutions to provide a broad range of inclusive services to poor rural people
• promote the capabilities of rural women and men, including young people
• capitalize on opportunities to use renewable energy sources, and promote low-cost technologies using local resources to provide energy. In terms of thematic engagement, IFAD continues to focus on:
• natural resources – land, water, energy and biodiversity .
• climate change adaptation
• improved agricultural technologies and effective production services
• a broad range of inclusive financial services
• integration of poor rural people within value chains
• rural enterprise development and non-farm employment opportunities
• technical and vocational skills development
• support to rural producers’ organizations.
Each of these areas addresses gender equality and social inclusion as cross-cutting themes, as well as household strategies to improve food security and nutrition. In delivering on strategic framework objectives, we continue to strive to improve quality and efficiency, strengthen our ability to work effectively with the private sector, step up our advocacy, and amplify the voices of poor rural women and men in decisions that affect their lives. IFAD Strategic Framework 2011-2015:
The quarterly report for October - December 2016 contains data and analysis on impact of PIND’s programs in economic development, capacity building, peace building, and analysis and advocacy over the period. It also contains narratives of the quarter’s success stories from beneficiaries across different programs, as well as insights and lessons learned by program and project officers on their work.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
