to the global development agenda. It provides a clear assessment of the problems that poor rural people face
in their struggle for a better life, and offers practical advice on setting priorities and policies for changing
the overall economic environment in rural areas so that it supports investment, innovation and risk-taking.
I have high hopes that the Rural Poverty Report will help open the door to transformative change, enabling
multitudes to leave behind subsistence farming, run their farms as businesses and market their surpluses
– and to collectively deliver large-scale results that will put an end to hunger and poverty.”
Mr Kofi A. Annan
Chairman of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA)
“In addition to being an in-depth evaluation of the status of rural poverty and its consequences for all people, this report makes important recommendations on policies and investments that will help rural women and men move out of poverty and, in the process, become part of the solution to the global food security challenges of the next several decades.”
