Book (stand-alone)General interest bookAgricultural transformation in Asia
Policy and institutional experiences
2021Also available in:
No results found.Over the past few decades, some countries in Asia have been more successful than others in addressing poverty and malnutrition. The key question is what policies, strategies, legislation and institutional arrangements have led to a transformed agricultural sector, effectively contributing to poverty alleviation and addressing malnutrition. The great majority of national policymakers within and outside the Asia-Pacific region are keen to understand the causes of agricultural development and transformation in successful countries in Asia. A large number of studies have been conducted and some of them link specific public policies and interventions to successful agricultural transformation. However, there seems to be lack of focus on the policy, legislative and institutional environments that have enabled or impeded agricultural transformation in Asia. National policymakers are likely to benefit significantly from adequate and convincing information on successful and relevant experiences in successful transformation. Countries are interested in what their neighbours and peers have done, and why some have achieved impressive results. The main purpose of this study is to take stock of public sector experiences in facilitating and enabling agricultural transformation in selected countries in Asia. The study focuses on key public sector interventions, in particular policies, legislation and institutional innovations, because these areas have so far not been adequately researched. -

No results found.This report presents analysis and findings from a qualitative research case study conducted in March 2014 in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, the last of a six country study of the economic impact of cash transfer programmes in Sub Saharan Africa. Starting in 2011, the Social Cash Transfer Pilot Programme (SCTPP) provides a social protection system through regular and predictable monthly cash transfers (a basic transfer of US$ 7.88) to extremely poor and labour constrained households. By 2014 the SCTPP was reaching over 3,700 beneficiary households in the two woredas (districts) targeted by the programme in the Tigray region, Hintalo Wajirat - a rural woreda-, and the town of Abi Adi. -
