Abstract

Since 1999, citizens of low-income African countries have been involved in preparing 'Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers' (PRSPs). Having a PRSP, based on a credible national policy process, has been made a condition for access to debt relief and other international assistance. Will this, as intended, result in greater commitment to poverty-reduction efforts on the part of national institutions and leaders? What evidence is there of a genuinely new approach to the fight against poverty? This book is the result of a major independent study of the subject organised by ODI on behalf of the Strategic Partnership with Africa. David Booth coordinates the Poverty and Public Policy Group at ODI. The contributors are economists, political scientists, social researchers and specialists in development management from Benin, France, Germany, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Norway, Sweden, Tanzania, Uganda and the UK.

Abstract

This book contributes to the debate about the role of agriculture in poverty reduction by addressing three sets of questions:Does investing in agriculture enhance/harm overall economic growth, and if so, under what conditions? Do poor people tend to participate more/less in growth in agriculture than in growth in other sectors, and if so, when? If a focus on agriculture would tend to yield larger participation by the poor, but slower overall growth, which strategy would tend to have the largest payoff in terms of poverty reduction, and under which conditions?
