The present paper is a non-academic and thus, hopefully, unpretentious, attempt at reviewing the literature on the the role of local institutions and their interaction in disaster risk mitigation (DRM). What will be found on the following pages is a non-exhaustive compendium of strengths and limitations of local institutions involved in DRM and some suggestions for tapping the former and tackling the latter.

La visión de la FAO consiste en un mundo libre del hambre y de la malnutrición, en el que la agricultura y la alimentación contribuyan a mejorar de forma sostenible, desde el punto de vista económico, social y ambiental, los niveles de vida de todos sus habitantes, especialmente los más pobres. Bajo esta Visión, este documento tiene como objetivo establecer el primer Marco de Programación de País (MPP, antes conocido como Marco Nacional de Prioridades de Mediano Plazo) para la asistencia técnica de la FAO en El Salvador, en apoyo a las prioridades del Gobierno Nacional.

This paper explores a 15-country household data base to evaluate the impact of three key assets (land, education and infrastructure) on rural poverty. Using both a descriptive analysis and a quadratic probit model, with the probability of being poor as a function of these three assets, the paper concludes that household access to education and infrastructure are positively associated with higher incomes, while the impact of land holdings varies across countries. Also, this paper shows the importance of the complementarities among assets in their poverty alleviating potential.
