  • In 2011, Platform members developed new strategies to improve agricultural production, increase access to markets, manage risk, and improve the livelihoods of rural people. The Platform continued its dual role as advocate and knowledge broker.

  • The study, commissioned by the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development, analyzes development assistance to agriculture and rural development (ARD) and food security.
