    Pro-Poor Policy Options: Marginal Farmers, the Rural Landless, Women and Youths in Nepal 2011
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This policy brief looks at the most marginalized and disadvantaged section of Nepalese society, people who are ultra poor, severely undernourished and chronically food insecure. They have long been excluded from mainstream development efforts – indeed even excluded from the communities in which they reside. Recent political developments in Nepal, particularly a new interim constitution which expressly acknowledges that the marginalized people have the same rights as all other citizens, provides an opportune moment to address the issues relating to them. The paper advocates adopting a livelihoods approach to the formulation of policies for these disadvantaged segments of Nepalese society.

    Pro-Poor Policy Options/ Vietnam: The Case for Public-Private Partnership for Irrigation Service Development and Management in An Giang Province 2011
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This policy brief suggests that agricultural cooperative and cooperation group operation of small to medium-size irrigation services in Vietnam’s An Giang province will further modernize the agricultural sector and increase production. The existing irrigation infrastructure cannot meet farmer demand, which results in higher production costs and underutilized services. Enabling cooperatives to manage small to medium-size irrigation systems, while continuing government control of large systems, is therefore an important strategy for optimizing irrigation system benefits and improving poor farmers’ livelihoods.

    This policy brief calls for Cambodia’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to renew its commitment to agricultural extension and prioritize farmers’ needs by reviewing and revising MAFF’s policy environment. Moreover, institutional links between extension stakeholders (including farmers, all relevant departments of MAFF, private sector actors, and other concerned ministries) must be formalized, research-extension links improved, and the extension system reoriented to be more b usiness-focused.
