Rural Poverty Alleviation - Pernambuco

closed

The Northeast Rural Poverty Alleviation Project will assist the state Government of Pernambuco to alleviate rural poverty and its consequences by: a) providing basic social and economic infrastructure and employment and income generating opportunities for the rural poor; b) decentralizing resource allocation and decision making to local levels; c) providing a safety net for the rural poor during a period of macroeconomic reform and fiscal adjustment; and d) leveraging resources mobilized at community and municipal levels. The project will include three main components: a) community subprojects, to support small-scale investments selected, operated and maintained by the beneficiaries; b) institutional development, to provide entities and communities with technical assistance and training to increase capacity and improve project implementation; and c) project administration, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, to finance project coordination and activities to provide project performance and impact feedback.
