    Indonesia

    There is still a long road ahead before all Indonesian's can benefit from the full potential of ICT. That road seems even longer to rural women. Despite some improvements in access and the rapid deployment of lower cost wireless technologies, not much has changed in rural areas of Indonesia. Infrastructure in rural areas is limited and existing services are expensive and practically outside of rural women's reach. Women still face enormous barriers and access to communications and information relevant to their realities is very limited.

    This report attempts to diagnose
    existing constraints and prospects for growth in
    people's incomes in South Kordofan. Given the breadth
    and depth of difficulties facing the state, the focus is on
    identifying the key areas of reform, or binding constraints,
    to growth. There is a combination of extremely low social
    returns, the prevalence of government and market failures,
    the weak investment climate and the limited access to

    Sri Lanka

    The issue of regional differences in
    development has moved to the center of the development
    debate in Sri Lanka, partly after the release of regional
    poverty data. For the past many years, there have been
    significant and increasing differences between the Western
    province and the rest of the country in terms of per capita
    income levels, growth rates of per capita income, poverty
    rates, and the structure of provincial economies. The

    Global

    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

    Eswatini

    The purpose of this policy note is to
    contribute to an understanding of the factors that combine
    to constrain the development of smallholder agriculture in
    Swaziland. It seeks to shed light on why, despite being
    well-endowed in land and water resources, and despite having
    a climate that is generally favorable for the production of
    crops and livestock, Swaziland is obliged to import
    substantial amounts of food to feed the population. Also,

    This paper reviews Pakistan's
    agriculture performance and analyzes its agriculture and
    water policies. It discusses the nature of rural poverty and
    emphasizes the reasons why agricultural growth is a critical
    component to any pro-poor growth strategy for Pakistan. It
    supports these arguments by summarizing key results from
    recent empirical analysis where the relative benefits of
    agricultural versus non-agricultural led growth are

    Mozambique

    Agriculture and fisheries are the main pillars of Mozambique's economy, having contributed in the last few years to more than 25 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and around 7 to 11 percentage points of the rate of economic growth. Agricultural development in Mozambique has been part of the government agenda because it is crucial to reducing poverty within rural zones.
