"IFAD Artificial Intelligence Solutions for Impact Results Regional Grant for AI-Powered Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services for Smallholder Farmers" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
IFAD's AI Solutions for Impact Results regional grant funds the development and deployment of AI-powered solutions within Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services, with the aim of delivering timely, relevant and localised agricultural advice to smallholder farmers. What distinguishes it from most AI-for-agriculture funding is that it is an implementation grant, not a research grant.
The workplan is concrete: design AI advisory modules, field test with approximately 10,000 farmers, build local capacity, and run cross-country knowledge exchange. Deliverables are measured in farmers reached and services standing up, not in publications. The geography is fixed and unusual - a single grant spanning Brazil, Mexico, Sierra Leone and Côte d'Ivoire, across Latin America and West Africa, over 36 months.
That combination is the hardest part of the call and the main filter on who can credibly apply: an organisation needs demonstrated multi-country implementation capacity across two continents, four national agricultural extension contexts, and at least three working languages.
IFAD names the requirements explicitly - expertise in AI and digital agriculture, experience with agricultural advisory systems, proven capacity for multi-country implementation, and the ability to manage large donor-funded programmes. A strong single-country AgTech organisation will not meet that bar alone and should be thinking about a consortium.
The co-financing requirement of at least 20 percent is the other binding constraint and should be resolved early. The total budget is 1,600,000 to 2,000,000 dollars with a deadline of 29 May 2026. Applications and full terms are on the IFAD calls for proposals page.

A minimum of 20 percent co-financing from the applicant is required. The grant is regional and covers implementation across four countries - Brazil, Mexico, Sierra Leone and Côte d'Ivoire - over a 36-month period, so applicants must be able to operate across Latin America and West Africa. Scope is the development and deployment of AI-powered solutions within Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS) to provide timely, relevant and localized agricultural advice to smallholder farmers. Named activities include designing AI advisory modules, field testing with approximately 10,000 farmers, capacity building, and cross-country knowledge exchange; this is an implementation grant rather than a research grant. The total budget is 1,600,000 to 2,000,000 US dollars. The documented deadline is 29 May 2026. Full terms, eligibility conditions and the application process are published on the IFAD calls for proposals page at https://www.ifad.org/en/w/calls-for-proposal/artificial-intelligence-solutions-for-impact-results, which should be consulted directly to confirm the deadline, budget band, co-financing requirement and country list before preparing a submission. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows A total project budget of 1,600,000 to 2,000,000 US dollars over 36 months for a single regional grant covering four countries. amount_min is set to 1,600,000 and amount_max to 2,000,000, matching the published budget band directly. One condition materially changes the real cost of this award and is easy to miss: applicants must provide co-financing of at least 20 percent. On a 2,000,000 dollar grant that means securing at least 400,000 dollars from other sources, and the co-financing must be in place as part of the proposal rather than raised after award. Organisations without an existing co-financing partner or reserves should treat that as the first feasibility question, not the last. The budget covers implementation across Brazil, Mexico, Sierra Leone and Côte d'Ivoire, so it is spread thinner per country than the headline figure suggests. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.
The published deadline was May 29, 2026, which has passed. Check the official notice for any future application windows before investing time in a proposal.
