DFID’s Agriculture Policy Team commissioned a series of working papers that will inform future guidelines for DFID on its approach to agriculture. OPM was commissioned to prepare two of the working papers.
Working Paper 1: Agriculture, growth and poverty – understanding the links in a changing context of agriculture and rural development. This paper reviews the evidence available on the links between agriculture, growth and poverty reduction, and assesses the implications for agriculture’s future role in poverty reduction and rural development.
Working Paper 8: Effective policy and public expenditure reform for pro-poor agricultural development. This paper outlines thinking on what constitutes a favourable policy environment for pro-poor agricultural development and issues around the allocation and review of public expenditures to agriculture.
