Synopsis (short abstract) This publication is a step-by-step guide to multiplying village micro-businesses by motivating rural micro-entrepreneurs to train others on how to copy their success. It is based on a joint project of FAO and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). Case studies from the project countries - Bhutan, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam - show how this can be a highly effective rural development and income generation tool. The manual also lists pitfalls to be avoided. More than 3300 farm households were trained under the project. An estimated 71 percent of these also became successful micro-entrepreneurs with an annual average income gain of US$449.

    This report synthesizes the analysis and findings of a set of seven country impact evaluation studies that explore the impact of cash transfer programmes on household economic decision-making, productive activities and labour allocation in sub-Saharan Africa. The seven countries are Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Results from seven recently completed rigorous impact evaluations of government-run unconditional social cash transfer programmes in sub-Saharan Africa s how that these programmes have significant positive impacts on the livelihoods of beneficiary households. In Zambia, the Child Grant programme had large and positive impacts across an array of income generating activities. The impact of the programmes in Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi and Zimbabwe were more selective in nature, while the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty programme in Ghana had fewer direct impacts on productive activities, and more on various dimensions of risk management .
