Abstract
THE DATA ARE ARRANGED IN THREE DIFFERENT PARTS: A.I.D. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, METHODS OF RESEARCH, AND THE CONTENT OR SUBJECT MATTER OF RESEARCH. TOPICS FOUND IN EACH OF THESE BROAD AREAS COMPRISE THE SUBJECTS OF THE TWELVE SECTIONS OF THE PAPER. THE SUBJECTS COVERED ARE: OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS OF THE RURAL POOR, A.I.D. POLICY ISSUES, INDICATORS OF SUCCESS, PROGRAMMING ASSISTANCE, COMPILATIONS OF EMPIRICAL RESEARCH, CASE STUDIES, ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSES, BASELINE STUDIES, EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN, RELATED POLICIES AND POLITICS, TECHNOLOGY, AND NON-CATEGORIZED RESEARCH AND INFORMATION. RESEARCH IS NOT DIFFERENTIATED FROM SYSTEMATIC DATA GATHERING, ALTHOUGH IT IS SOMETIMES EVIDENT THAT THE RECOMMENDATION FALLS COMPLETELY INTO ONE CATEGORY. THE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY CALL FOR A FULL-SCALE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH EFFORT OR FOR A LOCAL DATA-GATHERING EXERCISE, DEPENDING UPON THE PURPOSE TO BE SERVED.
