At the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), I review rural investment operations and grant portfolios against social and environmental standards, with a focus on Indigenous Peoples safeguards and free, prior and informed consent. I identify social risks, assess documentation, and formulate mitigation measures and recommendations for management decisions.
For BIOCAVAL in Argentina, I contributed social inclusion and safeguards analysis during design, including target-group characterisation, risk screening and consultations during a field mission. I also provided Indigenous Peoples planning and safeguard inputs for operations in Colombia and Bolivia.
I coordinated the Indigenous Peoples’ Forum across regional and global cycles, supporting consultation processes between Indigenous Peoples’ organisations, governments and the financing institution. I also designed and delivered training for staff and partners on consent processes and social safeguards.
Across IFAD’s portfolio, I reviewed project documentation for safeguard triggers, consent requirements and targeting, and maintained the related database and corporate dashboard. I also restructured a climate adaptation programme’s results framework and delivered a donor-facing monitoring dashboard with target-versus-actual tracking and variance analysis.
