Synthesis and conclusions. 330 $aTo improve their well-being, the poor in developing countries have used both collective action through formal and informal groups and property rights to natural resources. Collective Action and Property Rights for Poverty Reduction: Insights from Africa and Asia examines how these two types of institutions, separately and together, influence quality of life and how they can be strengthened to improve the livelihoods of the rural poor.The product of a global research study by the Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRi) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, this book draws on case studies from East Africa and South and Southeast Asia to investigate how collective action and property rights have contributed to poverty reduction. The book extends the analysis of these institutions beyond their frequently studied role in natural resource management by also examining how they can reduce vulnerability to different types of shocks.Essays in the volume identify opportunities and risks present in the institutions of collective action and property rights. For example, property rights to natural resources can offer a variety of advantages, providing individuals and groups not only with benefits and incomes but also with assets that can counter the negative effects of shocks such as drought, and can make collective action easier. The authors also demonstrate that collective action has the potential to reduce poverty if it includes more vulnerable groups such as women, ethnic minorities, and the very poor. Preventing exclusion of these often-marginalized groups and guaranteeing genuinely inclusive collective action might require special rules and policies. Another danger to the poor is the capture of property rights by elites, which can be the result of privatization and decentralization policies; case studies and analysis identify actions to prevent such elite capture. 410 0$aInternational Food Policy Research Institute (Series) 606 $aPoverty$zAfrica 606 $aRight of property$xEconomic aspects$zAfrica 606 $aCommunity organization$xEconomic aspects$zAfrica 606 $aPoverty$zAsia 606 $aRight of property$xEconomic aspects$zAsia 606 $aCommunity organization$xEconomic aspects$zAsia 610 $aBusiness. 610 $aEconomics. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aRight of property$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aCommunity organization$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aRight of property$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aCommunity organization$xEconomic aspects 676 $a362.5/561095 701 $aMwangi$b Esther$01490627 701 $aMarkelova$b Helen$01490628 701 $aMeinzen-Dick$b Ruth Suseela$0312971 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779475603321 996 $aCollective action and property rights for poverty reduction$93712101 997 $aUNINA
