| This maunal is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners in order to help them conceptualize effective development programmes. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. It moves away from conventional, standardized definitions of poverty to describe a nine-step method of building a regional poverty profile based on the perceptions that local inhabitants have of the different levels of "well-being" or poverty. This method was developed through fieldwork in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Colombia, Honduras, and Nicaragua at different periods between 1989 and 1998. |
