The Rural Poverty Report 2011, IFAD, November, 2010

This report offers an analysis of rural poverty, its consequences, and viable solutions--among which agricultural development is featured.  This report supports the principles that inform CAADP, but draws attention to the fact that, if agricultural development is to help eradicate poverty, it will have to be carefully planned and strategically implemented.
