    Secure land tenure in rural landscapes is widely recognized as an essential foundation for achieving a range of economic development goals. However, forest areas in low and middle-income countries face particular challenges in strengthening the security of land and resource tenure. Forest peoples are often among the poorest and most politically marginalized communities in their national contexts, and their tenure systems are often based on customary, collective rights that have insufficient formal legal protection.

    Geographic targeting is perhaps the most
    popular mechanism used to direct social programs to the poor
    in Latin America. The author empirically compares geographic
    targeting indicators available in Peru. He combines

    Living Standards Measurement Surveys and district-level
    information from the 1993 Peru Population and Housing
    Census. He then conducts a series of simulations that

    Poverty and economic stagnation
    characterize most rural areas in Peru. National growth has
    been slow and uneven since the mid-1970s, benefiting urban
    areas rather than rural ones. Between 1985 and 2000, the
    number of poor people increased by 71 percent. The incidence
    of poverty (67 percent) and extreme poverty (40 percent) is
    highest in rural areas, reaching 73 percent (poverty) and 41
    percent (extreme poverty) in the sierra. This means that 4.2

    The Andean region of Puno, known as the
    altiplano, is located at 3,830 meters above sea level. The
    terrain is prone to flooding, and thus difficult to
    cultivate. In order to deal with this situation, Andean
    indigenous populations displaced huge amounts of soil in
    order to create raised fields that were better adapted to
    agricultural use. Raised fields resolved many of the
    problems that affect agriculture at high altitude. The

    This book argues that Peru faces an
    unprecedented opportunity to become the next success story
    in Latin America. In the coming five years, policy making
    could put the country on a development path similar to the
    one that, say, Chile, Costa Rica, or Spain have followed
    over the last two decades. This book includes 32
    sector-specific chapters and 2 historical perspectives that
    precede them. The beginning chapter, a synthesis, builds a

    roads that link rural communities and villages with
