CHAPTER 2
Under SDG 2 - Zero Hunger, the highest number of projects contribute to targets 2.a and 2.1 (Table 2) . In line with the nature of SDG 2, OPEC Fund-supported projects aligning to this goal typically focus on sustainably improving pro- ductivity, practices and incomes in the agriculture sector, as well as more broadly supporting rural development and food security. SDG 2-aligned projects approved during the reporting period include, for example, a ¤70 million
policy-based loan to the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire that in- cludes undertaking a study on the costs of malnutrition, the adoption of a national micronutrient survey, and the establishment of a national social safety net program. Another relevant operation is a US$150 million project in Colombia that aims to promote climate-smart agriculture by increasing the utilization of sustainable cattle-raising systems.
