    • Policy reform is first priority 
      1. Redefine Rural Development as central focus area for FAO technical assistance on the topics
          institutional development is key area for formulation of policies and implementation of programs and facilitation of suitable             funding mechanisms 
      2. Reorganize FAO organizational set up with regional representation of well financially equipped rural development experts 
          at HQ level regular consultation on policy and program priorities with regional rural development experts and partner      agencies incl UN, ILO IFAD,etc and Intergovernmental regional bodies, relevant representative NGO rural development research and development organisations  
      3. Facilitate regional and international networking and technical collaboration on rural development policy at country level    
          regional and country level networking with government agencies concerned and with relevant non governmental agencies in particular those which directly represent small farmers rural producers and formal and informal research educational institutions   
      Without FAO rural development policy reform any "case study" has limited or no relevance.
      For case studies which are concrete examples of How To Do  see FAO ,ILO,IFAD and UN Libraries and Library of US Congress
