Episode 1 - IFAD President Gilbert Houngbo on Empowering Rural Women & Youth

Born and raised in rural Togo, Gilbert F. Houngbo, President of
the International Fund for Agricultural Development, has spent
more than 30 years working to improve the lives of some of the
world’s most vulnerable people. We caught up with him in
Stockholm to discuss the importance of investing in women, how
his upbringing has shaped his passion for working with
smallholder farmers and why it’s time for the international
community to stop the talk and start walking the walk on making
youth in rural areas a priority.
