    Kosovo is a small and young state that gained an interim United Nations (UN)-administered status in the wake of the Dayton peace accord only in 1999; it declared independence in 2008. Compared to neighboring countries, it is still lacking in its basic infrastructure and its administrative and technical skills. In addition, with the onset of the War in Yugoslavia in 1992 most investment and normal maintenance came to a standstill.

    Poverty in Kosovo is widespread and has
    remained persistent in the first half of this decade. The
    evidence suggests that poverty is higher among those who
    live in families that are large, have many unemployed
    members, and have low education levels. The poor are also
    geographically concentrated in rural areas and a few
    regions. The main message of this report is that the slow
    and volatile growth was doubly disadvantageous. The first

    resources threaten the mission of institutions dedicated to
    economic development. The ultimate goal is to achieve a
    sustainable balance between the resources available and the
    societal requirement for water. In this evaluation the

    The World Bank Group has a unique
    opportunity to match the increases in financing for
    agriculture with a sharper focus on improving agricultural
    growth and productivity in agriculture-based economies,
    notably in Sub-Saharan Africa. Greater effort will be needed
    to connect sectoral interventions and achieve synergies from
    public and private sector interventions; to build capacity
    and knowledge exchange; to take stock of experience in

    Interest in farmland is rising. And,
    given commodity price volatility, growing human and
    environmental pressures, and worries about food security,
    this interest will increase, especially in the developing
    world. One of the highest development priorities in the
    world must be to improve smallholder agricultural
    productivity, especially in Africa. Smallholder productivity
    is essential for reducing poverty and hunger, and more and
