Abstract

The objectives of the conference were to examine the current nature of well-being and poverty in Zimbabwe; explore the situation regarding vulnerable groups, particularly women and children; and identify options and opportunities, pro-poor policies and programmes for moving out of poverty, including smallholder agriculture. Agro-ecological region has a marked effect on poverty levels as discovered through the Moving Zimbabwe Forward (MZF) survey. Household consumption and income data were collected as well as participants’ subjective perceptions of their well-being and poverty. Reviews of conference paper presentations are provided.
