With 70 per cent of poor Africans living in rural areas, poverty in Africa is largely a rural phenomenon. Increasing rural employment and income is therefore crucial to reducing poverty. An increase in rural incomes will likely improve the living standards of the rural poor, but it could also drive a structural transformation of the whole economy.
