Brief History of the Project:

  • This Project used the Case Study approach and mixed research design in trying to learn systematically about how to reduce poverty.
  • Face to face interviews will be conducted in the various villages in discovering a great deal from people who have actually moved out of poverty and stayed out of poverty.
  • The purpose of this study is to produce a concise, evidence-based analysis that:
    - Diagnose the underlying structure of the rural economy and its evolving links to urban and peri-urban centers in selected provinces.
    - Identify the binding structural and institutional constraints to faster rural development and reductions in poverty and income inequality; and
    - Propose some remedial policy priorities.
