Promoting Market Access for the Rural Poor in Order to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals
The crucial role of market linkages for rural poverty reduction has only recently received
the attention it deserves in the development arena. More needs to be done, especially on the
implementation side. IFAD is committed to the objective of improving the rural poor’s
access to markets, and in this context, is seeking ways to:
• effectively increase the market share of the rural poor and improve the terms in which
they participate in markets;
• achieve greater market access and market development for the rural poor; and
• effectively improve at national, regional and international levels the rules of trade in
favour of the rural poor.
