Abstract

This paper takes a village-level perspective which suggested that patterns of pro-poor agricultural growth were highly spatially concentrated to particular villages. Qualitative fieldwork in these villages has since aimed to identify any common institutional explanations to such growth such as gendered rights to land and markets.

This paper draws on the Afrint database, which was collated by 6 country teams in 55 villages in 15 regions across Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia.
