Towards inclusive rural development: Agricultural value chains, local economic development and stakeholders’ dynamics.
Contribution of the Belgian development projects to a regional and sectoral vision on rural development in the Andes
This publication originates in a regional seminar organised by BTC in Lima in 2009. It highlights two approaches that are used more and more in agriculture and rural development, namely the value chain approach and the local economic development approach. First, these approaches are put in perspective against the evolving background of the Belgian and international agricultural sector. Next, these approaches are assessed as part of specific experiences in the regional project portfolio implemented by the bilateral cooperation.

Agriculture as a motor of pro-poor growth
BTC hosted its 5th annual international seminar on 16 & 17 December 2009 entitled ‘Agriculture as a motor of pro-poor growth’.

It wanted to look at the issue in a holistic way taking into account both the needs and the actors, and scrutinise the potential of development partners to contribute to pro-poor agriculture development.
Alimentation en eau potable et assainissement des quartiers périphériques urbains et des zones rurales en RDC
En RDC, seul un habitant sur cinq a accès à l’eau potable.

L’objectif du projet est de mettre en place des alternatives pérennes d’adduction en eau potable pour les populations des quartiers périurbains, des centres secondaires et des zones rurales densément peuplées.
