Descripción
This policy brief addresses empowerment of rural farmers as a strategy to reduce poverty in Sri Lanka. Although Farmers’ Organizations have helped improve rural life, capacity gaps and social environmental challenges remain. To this end, the brief suggests that bolstering investment in irrigation, assessing and empowering Farmers’ Organizations, and promoting private sector involvement in agricultural markets are important strategies for reducing rural poverty in Sri Lanka.
