<p>The Department for International Development (DFID) does not track spending on 'small-scale farmers' because this is not one of the standardised categories which all members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) use to describe how they allocate their resources. However, in at least 13 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, DFID is providing direct support for smallholders. Examples of on-going projects include:</p><p>supporting land tenure in Rwanda which will provide 4 million poor men and women with title to the land they farm;</p><p>supporting a Farm input Subsidy Programme in Malawi to help 1.5 million poor farmers increase their agricultural productivity.</p><p>DFID also, invests in key multilateral organisations which provide support for smallholder agriculture. For example:</p><p>funding the International Fund for Agricultural Development to help smallholders in about 40 countries to adapt to climate change.</p><p>supporting the international agricultural research organisation, CGIAR, to develop drought-tolerant maize, which benefits more than 2 million smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa.</p>
