Background |
 |
Rural
Week brings together World Bank staff in Washington DC every year
to discuss key issues in their work with outside experts. The rural
week in March 2004 included a range of sessions on: agriculture and
agricultural trade; meeting MDGs on hunger; sucessful partnerships
in forestry; and planning and development based on understanding continuous
rural and urban space. This last session sought to promote an understanding
of livelihoods, poverty and vulnerabiltiy. Specifically, it looked
at how people's lives span both the rural and urban contexts through
economic and social linkages such as labour markets, goods and service
and the like.
