RIMISP - Latin American Center for Rural Development
Participants were concerned about how to ensure the strategies being proposed by the World Development Report (WDR) would in fact be implemented; there needed to be a very clear explanation of past failures. A significant number of participants were concerned about the transparency of some underlying assumptions of the report. In this regard the main points of discussion were around the nuances of the trade liberalization agenda, the future for small-scale producers, the multi-functionality of small-scale agriculture, and justification for the three types of countries assumptions about structural change in rural areas. Details of discussions and recommendations about these concerns are covered in the evaluation.
