dc.descriptionThe present publication contains six in-depth case studies exploring the dynamic linkages between farm and non-farm activities in Africa and Latin America. These studies (i) characterize spin-off activities in each study area and evaluate their importance to rural employment, incomes and growth; (ii) descrive, compare, analyze and synthesize experiences - successful and unsuccessful - of growth and promotion of linkages in high potential areas; and (iii) suggest policy and programme options for promoting growth and employment opportunities in the off-farm sector in rural economies. The case studies cover countries as diverse as Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mexico and Peru, and focus particularly on the institutional, organizational and technological aspects of spin-off activities. An overview of the case studies and their relation ot recent literature is also provided.
