Results also demonstrate that public-policy rural dialogue groups (RDG) provide a mechanism enabling diverse sectors to participate in and connect with public agendas, adding input into design and implementation of public policies. Additionally, RDG proves to be an effective tool for organizations such as the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to highlight priority issues in national political agendas.Text1 digital file (11 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenLATIN AMERICACENTRAL AMERICAPOLICYRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POORPOLICY MAKINGPOLICY IMPLEMENTATIONRURAL TERRITORIESLEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCEDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHIDRC Final Report
