| The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)
is an independent, non-profit organization promoting sustainable
patterns of world development through collaborative research,
policy studies, networking and knowledge dissemination.
The
Rural Urban programme seeks to improve understanding
of how changing rural-urban interactions affect the livelihoods
of low-income and vulnerable groups in urban and rural settlements.
It aims to support local institutions and government to identify
opportunities and constraints for poverty reduction and regional
development provided by rural-urban linkages, and act on them.
Rural Urban Projects include:
- Rural-urban
linkages in Tanzania: the role of two intermediate urban
centres in the development of their surrounding regions
- The
importance of rural-urban linkages in South-East Nigeria
- Opportunities
and constraints in the peri-urban areas of Bamako and Mopti,
Mali
- Farmers’
Markets in Tamil Nadu
- Rural-urban
linkages in Vietnam and their role in poverty reduction
and equitable regional growth
