RIGA Project
open-in-new
<p>The Rural Income Generating Activities (RIGA) Project is a collaboration between the <a href="/facts/Food_and_Agriculture_Organization/13WV8JJK">Food and Agriculture Organization</a>, the <a href="/facts/World_Bank/hIH9uUb2">World Bank</a>, and <a href="/facts/American_University/8eytegop">American University</a> (Washington, DC) that seeks to contribute to the understanding of the income generating activities, both agricultural and non-agricultural, of rural households in developing countries. The RIGA project achieves this by two means. First, through the development of an innovative database of income sources from various developing countries, which is available free of charge to researchers via the project’s website. Second, by producing studies and publications that use the database to analyze pressing economic and policy issues. </p>
