Mrs. Josefina Stubbs is currently the vice president of the institution. She has over 30 years of experience in the global development sector, working for 16 years for the non-governmental organization Oxfam International, where she was Regional Director for Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Your support and encouragements have been a source of immense pride and energy. The months leading to the election for President of IFAD have been extremely rewarding and intense.
