【 摘 要 】

A wealth of success stories on the role of agriculture as a driver of employment and income diversification in poor rural communities, and also of initiatives of dialogue and public-private partnership at the local level exist. The paper reviews some examples of these policy-driven initiatives where agriculture-based processes led to significant impacts on poverty reduction. These examples offer lessons on the way to resolve the upscaling problem of local initiatives.
