Rural Poverty Alleviation - Paraiba

closed

The Rural Poverty Alleviation Project, based on the Northeast Rural Poverty Alleviation Program, assists the state government of Paraiba in alleviating rural poverty by a) providing basic social and economic infrastructure, and employment and income-generating opportunities; b) decentralizing resource allocation and decisionmaking; c) leveraging resources mobilized at the community level; and d) deepening the creation of social capital. The project has three components: 1) community subprojects, which support small-scale investments selected and subsequently operated and maintained by beneficiaries; 2) institutional development, which provides all implementing entities and communities with technical assistance and training to increase capacity and improve project implementation; and 3) project administration, supervision, monitoring, and evaluation, which finances project coordination and activities to provide feedback on project performance and impact.
