These long term in-country positions within the civil service structure gave an important perspective on the needs and priorities of emerging countries, their constraints and opportunities. Subsequently, he worked as an independent economist with USAID, UNIDO, FAO, IFAD, EU and the private sector in the Caribbean, Thailand, Philippines, Tanzania, Malawi, Botswana and Zambia.<\/p>\n<p>He began working with IFAD in 1988 as a country programme manager in Asia Region (Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Myanmar. With a focus on project preparation and implementation, tasks included stakeholder workshops, appraisal, loan negotiation and management of loan administration and supervision.\u00a0 Partnerships were developed with co-financiers (World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank), and bilateral donors such as Sweden, Ausaid, Germany and UNDP, FAO and WFP.<\/p>\n<p>From 2004 he was IFAD\u2019s Senior Operations Management Adviser in office of Asst. President for Programme Management. He led IFAD\u2019s involvement in HIPC-DI and Debt Management to provide debt relief to selected IFAD member countries, the implementation of IFAD\u2019s financial allocation system and the MOPAN exercise.\u00a0 He managed IFAD\u2019s harmonisation and alignment initiatives under the Paris Declaration and Accra accords. He co-chaired the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development, chaired the Multilateral Development Bank working group on Management for Development Results, and was the IFAD representative at the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) working party on Aid Effectiveness which evolved into the Global Partnership for Effective Development, and the Steering Committee of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI).<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving IFAD he continues to work as a development and policy adviser with both public and private sector in Ghana, Sri Lanka and Tanzania.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey vc_custom_1662575592272 wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1662575592272 wpb_content_element\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\t<div style=\"color:#000000;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpb_content_element vc_custom_1662577465034\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Follow Brian on social media<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<style>.vcex-social-links.vcex_6a5fd9218b366 .vcex-social-links__item:hover{background:var(--wpex-accent);}<\/style><div class=\"vcex-social-links vcex-module wpex-flex wpex-flex-wrap wpex-social-btns vcex-social-btns wpex-items-center wpex-gap-5 wpex-last-mr-0 vcex_6a5fd9218b366\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/brian-baldwin-81103714\/\" class=\"vcex-social-links__item wpex-social-btn wpex-social-btn-black wpex-hover-opacity-80 wpex-rounded-full wpex-linkedin\"><span class=\"vcex-social-links__icon wpex-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M100.3 448H7.4V148.9h92.9zM53.8 108.1C24.1 108.1 0 83.5 0 53.8a53.8 53.8 0 0 1 107.6 0c0 29.7-24.1 54.3-53.8 54.3zM447.9 448h-92.7V302.4c0-34.7-.7-79.2-48.3-79.2-48.3 0-55.7 37.7-55.7 76.7V448h-92.8V148.9h89.1v40.8h1.3c12.4-23.5 42.7-48.3 87.9-48.3 94 0 111.3 61.9 111.3 142.3V448z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian BaldwinDevelopment &amp; Policy Advisor Brian Baldwin (Geographer and Agricultural Economist) held field posts with the UK\u2019s Overseas Development Administration (the precursor of DFID) in Sri Lanka and Zambia in design and evaluation of agricultural and rural development programmes.
