Download or read book Tackling rural poverty in developing countries written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-03-14 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 2.7 billion people live in poverty on less than two dollars a day, whilst 1.1 billion live in extreme poverty on less than one dollar a day. The United Nation's Millennium Development Goals aim is to halve this number by 2015 and the Department for International Development has set Public Service Agreement Targets to contribute to this reduction. As some 75 per cent of the world's poor live in rural areas, these targets cannot be reached without the reduction of rural policy. This report looks at rural poverty and the way the DFID tackles the issue, especially in the short and medium term. It is organised into four main sections: the challenge of tackling rural poverty; DIFD's country programme assistance to the rural poor; reaching the rural poor through other funding schemes; and management of the aid budget.

This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most developing countries, poverty is more widespread and severe in rural than in urban areas. The author reviews some important aspects of rural poverty and draws key implications for public policy. He presents a policy framework for reducing poverty, taking into account the functional differences and overlap between the rural poor. Several policy options are delineated and explained, including stable management of the macroeconomic environment, transfer of assets, investment in and access to the physical and social infrastructure, access to credit and jobs, and provision of safety nets. Finally, some guideposts are identified for assessing strategies to reduce rural poverty.
Download or read book The State of World Rural Poverty written by Idriss Jazairy and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite almost four decades and billions of dollars in development activities, we are barely in a position to track the changing dynamics of poverty or to define with conviction the processes that entrap the poor in their misery. Accounting for about 90% of global poverty, rural poverty, through transmigration, is also a main contributor to urban poverty. It is in the rural areas of the world where poverty is most severe in human terms, where the hunger, hopelessness, hardship, and despair commonly associated with entrenched poverty are most pronounced, where basic health services, sanitation, educational opportunities, and other common amenities are most lacking. The alleviation of rural poverty is therefore tantamount to the alleviation of global poverty in its entirety. The State of World Rural Poverty offers the first comprehensive look at the economic conditions and prospects of the world's rural poor.

Download or read book Reducing Rural Poverty in Asia written by Nurul Islam and published by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing rural poverty in Asia provides evidence-based guidelines for policymakers in developing countries, fore researchers focusing on development problems, and for the international development assistance community in the continuing search for ways to effectively reduce poverty in the developing world. Detailed examinations are clearly presented on the efforts for poverty alleviation through micro-enterprise development and rural public employment programmes that focus on public works and household/small-scale industries. Asia-based case studies of various micro-enterprises and rural public employment projects reveal important policy mechanisms and the effectiveness of each poverty reduction measure. Tables, figures, and relevant glossaries make unfamiliar terms and difficult information easy to understand. This comprehensive, thorough and insightful book is a must read for students and scholars of rural development.
Download or read book Rural Poverty Empowerment and Sustainable Livelihoods written by Joseph Mullen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume explores the nature of poverty and interprets it across a range of policy reforms and project interventions in different geographical settings. It is the culmination of a cooperative effort between development academics and professionals from diverse national and disciplinary backgrounds, who came together for two events: 1) The Development Study Association’s Rural Development Study Group Symposium on the theme of the book’s title, hosted by the Rural Poverty Alleviation Programme at the University of Manchester’s Institute for Development Policy and Management. 2) The Commonwealth Secretariat’s Regional Workshop for East and Central Africa on Strategies for Poverty Reduction. The volume is underpinned by the conviction that it is morally and ethically repugnant that over 1.3 billion people live in conditions of endemic hunger and poverty while the wealth of a minority continues to increase exponentially. The authors offer wide ranging analysis of some of the causes of this situation, and of the efforts being made to eliminate or alleviate absolute poverty.
Download or read book Poverty Orientated Agricultural and Rural Development written by Hartmut Brandt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-12-20 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last twenty years the proportion of development cooperation resources earmarked for agricultural development has dwindled to between six and seven per cent of total bi- and multilateral Official Development Assistance. This is despite the fact that eighty per cent of the world's poor live in rural agricultural areas and that the poor are disproportionately affected when political, military and natural events lead to regional or global food shortages. Brandt and Otzen's key book fills a gap in current literature, undertaking a wide-ranging conceptual reorientation of development cooperation, criticizing the current orthodoxy and its bias towards urban areas, and arguing that in order to effectively alleviate poverty across the world, agricultural and rural development measures need to be implemented both by central and subnational governments, aid agencies and the private sector. The authors investigate the world food question, the current pressures it is under and its link to rural poverty, and set out the policies that need to be undertaken to reduce global poverty.
