Terms of reference
On 13 September 2012, the International
Fund for Agricultural Development Amendment Bill 2012 was referred to the
Committee by the Selection Committee of the House of Representatives.
The Selection Committee’s report
stated the following reasons for referral/principal issues for consideration:
- Determine whether the
International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has fully addressed the
concerns that were raised by the former Howard Government, and which prompted
Australia to withdraw from the organisation in 2004.
- Consideration of the
additional financial and human resources required by AusAID to support
Australia’s engagement with IFAD.[1]
