Ethiopia has a serious problem of Poverty, joblessness, insecurity and low foreign exchange, these is a result of our Poverity. The only immediate solution for the above problem is irrigation agriculture. when I say irrigation I mean small scale irrigation which can be constructed in a simple way with a very low cost at a farmer level. Any one who wants to work on the reduction of Ethiopian poverty we can work together.

Staying on the farm policy means sustainability to farmers and the community and the ldcs.
Farming for final processing and sharing in the markets.
Only farming is the classical prescription for sustainable poverty and backwardness and marginalization.

Interesting to see that Human Capital is not part of the picture.

To Consider Rural non-farm…

To Consider Rural non-farm productive activities as a solution to alleviate poverty in rural areas is good. But, in the future if we don't foster agricultural productive activities, how will humanity get the food needed even when population is increasing? Not to foster agricultural coulb be a risk or threathen of food security in the future? Taking account the importance of food security for humanity, Why is it much better to foster rural non farm activities with rural population than agricultural production?

I totally agree with you…

I totally agree with you. The world bank and many other development agencies still insist on following the industrialization path to development in Africa in spite of overwhelming empirical research that has suggested a peasant path instead. The failure to recognize that people in the country side are firstly concerned about food production before they think of other non-farm income generating activities. Agricultural production (food) should be the main focus of any development program in the rural areas.

I also agree that farming…

I also agree that farming has been the main activity of the rural people and the global food insecurity threat but still, the rural population have been poor despite huge investment in rural farming. that is why I strongly believe that, if we must alleviate poverty which is mostly in rural areas we must complement another way than farming. After all, the Urban areas and even the west which are not predominantly agricultural are economically stronger than the Rural areas.

How can we address concerns of land poor and small farms ? What are the best strategies to include them in inclusive economic growth ?

We wonder why a Public Private Partnership method is not favored by the World Bank? In some or most cases a Return On Investment can result for
the business and repayment to the World Bank result in extended ability with the additional funds. It would seem to be a win - win proposition. Do you not agree?

We believe it is imperative…

We believe it is imperative farmers are part of a value chain with aggregators or processors, preferably a formal arrangement.
Supply chain development increases farmer bankability leading to Agro Value Chain Financing.
Is farmer development without a value chain strategy sustainable?
Should the Bank consider all rural farm development be linked to a value chain strategy (non-farm economy)?

Let us discuss on how Governments of various countries can help SMEs in the rural areas to accepting their assets as collateral for loans. Also impact assessment of EDPs should be encouraged for the rural SMEs

This question is for Mr. Steven

I desagree with your idea about poor people have to be educated to get a Job in rural areas. I think poor people in rural areas should develop entrepreneurship skills and create bussinesses? what do you think about that?

Developing the rural non…

Developing the rural non-farming economy could be an excellent approach to NO POVERTY (SDG 1) as the majority of poor people are in rural areas. However, support to the non-farm economy would be context specific and my proposal is to map out specific non-farm opportunities to specific areas.

The visions of IEG is what the less privilege and the poorest people in the rural areas need, but the big question is how do you get to them? Is there a platform in reaching them without the involvement of government? Especially in Africa?
