Tackling rural poverty, together

Platform members and partners share the belief that by exchanging information, development assistance and investments in agriculture and rural development can be made more effective. It is especially important that development partners keep each other informed on critical and emerging issues.

The Platform’s thematic focus

Platform Policy Briefs

On many of these themes, the Platform facilitates the formulation of Platform Policy Briefs. These are designed to inform and guide partners in development in the effective delivery of assistance in agriculture and rural development (ARD). Focussing on the content of ARD delivery, they should be seen as the thematic extension of the Joint Donor Concept on Rural Development, which concerns the processes of ARD delivery.
