Résumé (anglais)
IFAD's Rural Poverty Report 2011 ¿ New realities, new challenges: new opportunities for tomorrow's generation, is an in-depth study of rural poverty. The findings in the report come from a collaboration among dozens of experts in the field of poverty reduction ¿ both inside and outside IFAD. They also come from the poor rural people themselves.
The result of this collaboration is a comprehensive resource for policymakersand practitioners, especially those in developing countries. The report looks at who the poor rural people are, what they do and how their livelihoods are changing. It explores the challenges that make it so difficult for rural people to overcome poverty, and identifies opportunities and pathways that could lead towards greater prosperity ¿ now and in the future. Finally, it highlights policies and actions that governments and development practitioners can take to support the efforts of rural people themselves, today and in the coming years.
