About the product

With the focus on rural areas, this paper seeks to identify the most effective policies and methods for increasing the income, opportunities and influence of the poor. In addition to an analysis of the evolution of development theories and the design of a successful development programme, the publication discusses participatory approaches to rural development. Also examined are: issues that make integrated, rural development strategies successful; the most recent literature and documented case studies in the field; and examples of successful programmes in selected countries.
