IFPRI's mission is to identify and analyze policies for sustainably
meeting the food needs of the developing world. Their research
concentrates on economic growth and poverty alleviation in
low-income countries, improvement of the well-being of poor
people, and sound management of the natural resource base
that supports agriculture. IFPRI seeks to make its research
results available to all those in a position to use them and
to strengthen institutions in developing countries that conduct
research relevant to its mandate.
Through
the Impact of Agricultural Research
on Poverty (IARP) IFPRI
examine if agricultural research is a sound investment for
helping the poor. Five case studies employ a sustainable livelihoods
conceptual framework as a means of integrating social and
economic assessment.
Two
documents from
Institutional Learning and Change
(ILAC) research
highlight how organisational learning is key to change and
improvement in livelihoods approaches.
