LIFT outputs are the result of cooperation between:
A Donor Consortium and Fund Board
LIFT is governed by a Donor Consortium, guided by a Fund Board comprising of international rural development experts from donor organisations and a representative of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation, and managed by an experienced Fund Management Office (FMO) - UNOPS.
The Fund Management Office (UNOPS)
The FMO consists of local and international rural development specialists who closely monitor all projects and provide guidance and technical training to partners. Results data is gathered by the FMO, and understood through a results logframe. Results and experiences are shared in an Annual Report, at the Fund's Annual Knowledge Sharing event, and through FMO communications initiatives.
Government Partners
LIFT works in alignment with government directives, and in hand with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation. LIFT is also registered under and working closely with the Ministry of Planning and Finance.
Implementing Partners
Programmes are designed and projects are selected according to a widely consulted LIFT strategy, set by the LIFT donors. Funds are pooled and provided through Programmes. Implementing partners are consulted, then issued with a call for proposals for projects. Partners are mainly from local and international NGOs, UN agencies, civil society, research and academia and the private sector.
Beneficiaries
The people who benefit from LIFT activities are the heart of the LIFT community.
