Administrators" evaluation review on rural poverty, final report

Chapters Two and Three describe the social and economic conditions in Brazil and Tanzania with specific reference to the rural poor. These two chapters were previously submitted to AID in compliance with the first task assignment -- the provision of a socioeconomic information base report regarding the rural poor in both countries. Chapters Four through Ten comprise the text of an analytical "Summary Issues Paper" submitted to AID prior to the Administrators" Evaluation Review or Spring Review to satisfy the second task required of the contractor. The purpose of these chapters is to examine major variables or indicators, and to identify policy issues emerging from an analysis of the conditions of the rural poor in Brazil and Tanzania and the impact of AID intervention. The analysis presented in this section of the paper rests on the interaction between two research methodologies.
