Tackling rural poverty, together

The Platform invites its members to comment on the present draft of the study 'Formulating and Implementing SWAps in ARD' until September 7th. The final report is expected for mid-October.

The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development commissioned the present study to examine the formulation and implementation experience of sector-approaches in A&RD and to identify any key lessons for improving the way in which development assistance is currently supporting SWAps or A&RD more generally. This synthesis report prepared by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) brings together material from seven country studies three of them in-depth field based investigations (Tanzania, Mozambique and Nicaragua) and four lighter-touch desk-based reviews (Uganda, Cambodia, Vietnam and Ghana).
