Empowering the Poor: Reducing Vulnerability, Enhancing Livelihoods
[World Bank officials touring developing nations.]

This 3-day conference brings together a group of development practitioners from governments in South Asia and Africa, World Bank, IFAD, UNDP, Foundations, and academia who are at the forefront of development, implementation and study of Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods Program. With the financial and professional support from the World Bank and related international development agencies, various regional governments in Asia and Africa have implemented or are implementing such programs. Individually, these programs have been monitored, evaluated, and studied, but the lessons learned from them are scattered, highlighting the need for a comprehensive, rigorous synthesis of steps involved in their development; an examination of the challenges in their implementation; and a discussion of the evidence of their impacts.
