AEE 511 Poverty Alleviation Guide By Allah Dad Khan
Pakistan has the 7th largest population in the world, which was estimated to be 170 million in 2010 and projected to grow to 210 million by 2020. Approximately 33% of Pakistanis live below the poverty line, with rural areas experiencing higher poverty levels of 39%. Agriculture accounts for 25% of Pakistan's GDP and livestock engages between 30-34 million rural residents. The world population reached 1 billion in 1804, 5 billion in 1987, 6 billion in 1999, and is projected to reach 8 billion in 2020 and 9.2 billion by 2050.

SAP II ran from 1998-2004 and had the goals of improving quality of social services and increasing access, particularly for women and girls. It included four components: program support, participatory development, coordination and monitoring, and technical assistance.

Lecture 13
UNDP helps improve living conditions for the poor in Pakistan through policy advice, program implementation, and strengthening research capacity to track poverty expenditures and formulate pro-poor policies.

Lecture 17 innovation approaches
To sustainably feed a growing population while protecting land resources for future generations, strategies are needed to halt land degradation, such as managing waterlogging, alkali soils through plowing and irrigation, and unfit underground water. Biological and physical methods can also be used to manage saline and sodic soils, like using amendments, composts, and deep plowing. Integrating soil fertility management and fertilizers can improve yields and rejuvenate soils. Since chemical reclamation is costly, growing salt-tolerant crops through bio-saline approaches is more suitable for ordinary farmers. Ultimately, controlling population growth will help reduce pressure on natural resources.
Delegation
Delegation allows leaders to build capacity, plan for succession, and recruit and develop skills while focusing responsibility. Effective delegation is clear about expectations, makes decisive assignments, provides support for delegates, and ensures accountability. Delegation can build capacity, prepare successors, and develop expertise by assigning responsibilities clearly while supporting and monitoring progress.

Raising Returns, Managing Risk: A Randomized Experiment on Combining Input Su...Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics
How do households balance risk and return when new economic opportunities arise? Can nancial-services interventions help households cope with the increased risk that often accompanies new, high-return opportunities? We randomly assigned rural households in Mozambique to subsidies for modern agricultural inputs, formal savings facilitation programs (either a \basic" or a \matched" savings program), or both sub-
sidy and savings programs. Households receiving only subsidies raised their subsequent consumption levels, but also faced greater risk (higher consumption variability). Households receiving both programs saw simi-
lar increases in consumption, but a much smaller increase in variability. This risk-reduction occurs alongside (and is possibly partly the result of) adjustments in broad \portfolios" of intertemporal activities (asset hold-
ings, borrowing, and investments). A program o ering generous savings matches (without input subsidies) has similar impacts as the combination of basic savings and subsidies. While households appear willing to take
on the increased risk associated with high-return opportunities, facilitating formal savings can help households o set a substantial part of the increased risk.Actividad 3

The National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) is Pakistan's largest rural support program, operating in 54 districts across all four provinces. It aims to alleviate poverty by organizing over 1 million poor households into more than 102,000 community organizations. NRSP facilitates these communities to plan and manage development activities that create employment and improve quality of life. It helps communities develop local capital through savings and credit, support education, and connect to government services and private partners. NRSP identifies local needs and priorities and works to arrange necessary resources from community contributions, its own support, or other stakeholders.

This document contains the agenda and notes from an English class discussion about the murder of Kitty Genovese. The class reviewed a reading strategy called KWL (Know, Want to know, Learned), where students discussed what they knew about the murder, what questions they had, and what they learned. They then read a newspaper article about the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese in Kew Gardens, New York, where she was stabbed to death outside her apartment while dozens of neighbors failed to help her or call the police. The class discussed details of the crime and the "bystander effect" where people are less likely to help in emergencies when others are present.
Governance Paper
The document discusses governance, which refers to the structure, relationships, and processes of authority, responsibility, and accountability within an organization.

This document discusses the role of national and international migration in agricultural development and farmer's livelihoods in Pakistan. It notes that agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan's economy, accounting for over 21% of GDP and employing 45% of the labor force.

Factors like unemployment, low living standards, demand for labor, and economic opportunities influence migration patterns. Over 150 million international migrants lived outside their countries of birth in 2000, with around 10 million people in Pakistan being
