Based on case-study research in four low income sub-Saharan African
countries (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi) this book brings
together the micro-level realities of gaining a living in rural
areas with the macro-level that seek to secure rapid poverty
reduction in line with the United Nations Millennium Development
Goal of halving global poverty by the year 2015.
The starting point is the livelihoods approach to poverty reduction
that providesa powerful framework within which micro-level
experiences of poverty and vulnerability can be connected to the
policy contexts that either block or facilitate people's own
efforts to escape from poverty. Initial chapters provide evidence
concerning the multiple and diverse character of rural livelihoods.
The book then goues on to examine the institutional context of
livelihoods, including decentralisation, taxation, markets, land
tenure and agricultural research. The natural resource dimensions
of agriculture, livestock, fisheries, small-scale irrigation and
community-based natural resource management policies are then
analysed. The concluding chapters consider micro-macro linkages,
including linking micro-level poverty traps to Poverty Reduction
Strategy Papers; incorporating rural poverty measurement in such
strategies; and tracing macro-micro links.
This book exposes the gap that occurs between the rhetoric of
poverty reduction strategies in capital cities and the practice of
public sector delivery in rural areas. It will be essential reading
for advanced students and researchers in the fields of rural
development, rural livelihoods, poverty reduction strategies and
Sub-Saharan Africa development as well as advisors andpractitioners
in international organizations.
