Financial Inclusion of Small Rural Producers
There is mounting empirical evidence that the responsible provision and use of formal financial services have a positive impact on household well-being and enterprise performance. At the individual level financial inclusion benefits rural households and small producers by facilitating the safe accumulation of assets enabling them to leverage those assets in order to invest in human and physical capital and supporting better risk management. The positive effects at the aggregate level are associated with better allocation of scarce resources among different activities. Despite recent progress on different aspects of financial inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean large gaps remain especially in rural areas which have been historically neglected by traditional providers of financial services. This book describes how these gaps have evolved recently in five countries —Costa Rica the Dominican Republic El Salvador Honduras and Mexico— that are at different stages of designing and implementing comprehensive financial inclusion strategies. Then on the basis of a comparative analysis of the institutional architecture available it identifies the main barriers preventing small rural producers from accessing and making effective use of the various financial services on offer with a view to making policy recommendations for overcoming these limitations.
Состояние продовольственной безопасности и питания в мире 2018
Создание климатической устойчивости для продовольственной безопасности и питания
New evidence in SOFI 2018 confirms a rise in world hunger: the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years returning to levels from almost a decade ago. Multiple forms of malnutrition are evident in many countries: adult obesity is growing even as forms of undernutrition persist. The report says that climate variability and extremes are key drivers behind this rise together with conflict and economic downturns and are threatening to erode and reverse gains made in ending hunger and malnutrition. SOFI 2018 reveals new challenges on the road to Zero Hunger while setting out urgent actions needed to achieve the goal by 2030.

移民,農業和農村發展
Migration is an expanding global reality one that allows millions of people to seek new opportunities. But it also involves challenges for migrants and for societies both in areas of origin and of destination. This report analyses migratory flows – internal and international – and how they are linked to processes of economic development demographic change and natural-resource pressure. The focus is on rural migration the many forms it takes and the important role it plays in both developing and developed countries. The report investigates the drivers and impacts of rural migration and highlights how related policy priorities depend on country contexts that are in continuous evolution.
