GAFSP is a Financial Intermediary Fund (FIF), hosted within the World Bank Group. The Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) was launched in 2010 by the G20, in response to the 2007-08 food price crisis, to increase both public and private investments in agriculture. It provides additional financial and technical resources designed to reduce poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, and supports resilient and sustainable agriculture systems in low-income countries.
