Measuring the impacts of agricultural research on poverty reduction
提出一种简单方法,用常用贫困指标衡量农业研究对贫困人口的影响,帮助政策制定者和研究管理者在资源分配和减贫评估中更好沟通。
Abstract Policymakers are increasingly calling upon agricultural research managers to consider poverty reduction objectives when making resource allocations. The authors present a simple method to measure the impact of agricultural research on the poor. This method has the advantage that it presents the results in a manner consistent with commonly used measures of poverty. This consistency and focus should facilitate and enhance dialogue between policymakers and research managers when deciding on resource allocations and assessing impacts on poverty reduction. An illustrative application is presented using data from Malawi.
