As part of its continuing efforts to facilitate international consultation on actions to reduce poverty and hunger in South Asia, on December 2, 2008 IFPRI organized a one-day regional dialogue in New Delhi. This meeting brought together experts to address two key issues: (i) Securing inclusive income growth, and (ii) enhancing human capabilities of the poorest.


To learn and share lessons from past successes, IFPRI, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is leading an initiative to document evidence on what works in agriculture—what sorts of policies, programs, and investments in agricultural development have actually reduced hunger and poverty.

Call for Nominations now open.


After 30 years of dynamic growth and substantial poverty reduction in Asia, do agriculture and rural development still have a role to play in that region? The policy briefs in this collection provide abundant evidence that they do.


Includes lead article on investment in African agriculture. Commentary on agriculture and health. Interview with Asha-Rose Migiro, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.


Synopsis summarizes the ongoing post-conference consultations with the intent to come closer to consensus for taking action.


New 2020 Discussion Paper examines why, despite progress reducing poverty worldwide, a large number of the world's poorest people are being left behind and how to improve the livelihoods of people living in ultra poverty.


These Policy briefs address who the poorest and hungry are, what the pathways out of extreme poverty and hunger are, and how to implement and scale up action for the poor and hungry.
