Rural poverty alleviation in Brazil : toward an integrated strategy

World Bank

2003

Overview

This report constitutes a step towards the objective of designing an integrated strategy for rural poverty reduction in Brazil, with a particular focus on rural poor in the Northeast and Southeast of Brazil. The report identifies key determinants of rural poverty in these regions and proposes a strategic framework in which to couch a set of integrated policies that could effectively help to reduce rural poverty in Brazil. The need for an integrated strategy arises because of the heterogeneous nature of the rural poor in Brazil. As no single simple remedy for rural poverty reduction in Brazil can be identified, the report proposes as a more effective alternative, an integrated policy approach that provides multiple paths out of rural poverty tailored to key characteristics distinguishing various household groups.
