Journal of Law and Rural Development - Issue 2: Renewable Energy and Rural Development

The Journal of Law and Rural Development provides a forum where the link between law and rural development can be explored.

IFAD’s experience has been that changes in the law can unlock the potential for development, particularly where smallholders and poor rural people are concerned.

Social, political and legal infrastructure are just as important as the physical variety, and developing these systems can be as essential as building roads or irrigation canals in helping to improve poor people’s lives.
