| Title | Cross Sectoral Approach in Strategies for Rural Poverty Reduction in Latin America |
| Summary | The main objective of this paper is to analyze if cross sectoral partnerships reduce poverty in a more efficient way than isolated efforts from one sector. To answer this question, the concept of ‘social capital’ and its implications for poverty reduction is used as explanatory framework and nine cases of cross sectoral experiences in Latin America are presented and reviewed in qualitative aspects to provide empiric data to the analysis. Based on the results, it is found that a cross sectoral approach to strategies for poverty reduction in rural areas in this region is crucial to improve efficiency and impact. However, it is also recognized that the construction of cross sectoral alliances is just one of the stages in the road to sustainable livelihood improvement. |
