Strategic Investment Options for Agricultural Growth and Poverty Reduction
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) as the centerpiece of a poverty-reduction strategy implies that agriculture and its individual subsectors must play a primary role as leading sources of pro-poor growth at national level. Uganda and other African countries pursuing the CAADP agenda are not just seeking to accelerate growth but also to maximize and broaden the impact of such growth on wealth creation and poverty reduction. Successful implementation of the CAADP agenda should, therefore, be guided by a good understanding of the impact of sectorwide growth and growth within individual agricultural subsectors on income and poverty levels among different categories of households.
