Linkages between Land Management, Land Degradation, and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Uganda (2008, background): “…and ideological debates and nuances , it seems clear that land degradation is a major problem confronting many (but not all) farmers in SSA, contributing to the problems of low agricultural productivity and poverty (Chen and Ravallion 2000; Dorward et al. 2004; Sachs et al. 2004; Lufumpa 2005).”
Rural market imperfections and the role of institutions in collective action to improve markets for the poor (2008, background): “…suggests that while access to significant capital is needed, selective subsidies may also be required to ‘kickstart’ agricultural markets as they play an important role in relieving critical seasonal and cash constraints, and reducing market and input supply uncertainties (Dorward et al., 2004).”
How to Make Agricultural Extension Demand-Driven?: The Case of India’s Agricultural Extension Policy (2007, background): “In early phases of agricultural development, the same factors (spatial dispersion, lack of coordination, high transaction costs) also give rise to market failures in other agrarian institutions, such as agricultural credit and marketing (Binswanger and McIntire, 1987; Dorward et al. 2004).”
Rural Institutions and Producer Organizations in Imperfect Markets: Experiences from Producer Marketing Groups in Semi-Arid Eastern Kenya.Socioeconomics and Policy Working Paper Series no. 23 (2006, background): “Moreover, successful implementation of structural adjustments for poverty reduction requires, among others, good infrastructure and diversified agriculture (Kydd and Dorward 2004; Dorward et al. 2004b; Dorward et al. 2005).”
Integrating Poverty and Environmental Concerns into Value-Chain Analysis: A Conceptual Framework (2010, unknown): “Contract farming is seen as a solution to such problems as declining public investment and private market failure said to underlie exclusion, since it increases economies of scale and thereby reduces private traders’ transaction costs (see, for example, Warning and Key, 2002; Dorward et al., 2004).”
Agriculture and Pro-Poor Growth: An Asian Perspective (2005, unknown): “Price support and stabilization programs were ubiquitous throughout Asia during the drive to adopt “green revolution” technologies (Timmer 1991, 2005a; Dorward et al. 2004).”
The Political Economy of Policies for Smallholder Agriculture (2010, background): “This evidence is supported both by studies that analyze past experiences and by simulation models (Dorward et al., 2004).”
