"The Cost of Inaction": an in-depth interview with IFAD President, Dr Nwanze

Earlier this year Dr Kanayo Nwanze, President of The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), visited The University of Warwick to speak as part of the Warwick Policy Lab/Department of Economics 360 lecture series.

During his visit, Dr. Nwanze was presented with an honorary degree, ‘Doctor of Science, honoris causa’, for his significant contribution to poverty reduction through sustainable agriculture and international development.

To find out more about his work, we caught up with Dr Nwanze for an in-depth discussion about the recent years' reductions in global poverty, challenges in a global context; such as Ebola and the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, and the role economics-based research should play in the mission of helping address rural poverty.
