In order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) a special effort must be devoted to promoting rural development and fostering better living conditions of the rural poor. In this respect, this paper justifies the need for a strong specific focus on rural people and argues that education is the most effective way to empower the rural poor to get out of poverty and to ensure that the MDG targets are met in S SA.

No results found.The Indonesian poultry industry is a key sector for the national economy, supplying 65% of all animal protein and employing 10% of the national labor force. All over the country, though local production successfully copes with domestic demand, the potential for growth is high, consistent with expectations of rising GDP per capita. The market looks healthy and attractive, which has resulted in this gradual entry of new foreign groups. In past decades, the production process has evolved and modernized. However, bird flu still continues to be an endemic disease which is a barrier to the poultry industry development in Indonesia, especially the opportunities to export poultry products to other countries. Implementation of 3-zone biosecurity in poultry farms is one of the key recommendations from the Government of Indonesia in overcoming bird flu, but this is a need to encourage our commercial poultry farmers to maximally applied properly.
