With the support of a small grant from IFAD which complemented financial and human support
from FAO, France and CIRAD, WAW was able to elaborate and test an international typology of
agricultural holdings. The latter is a core task under the WAW methodological framework in order
to 1) facilitate the comparison between different holdings, and 2) address the monitoring of
transformations to inform policy debate at country level. Both aspects shall contribute to enhance
poverty analysis and policy formulation, highlighting stakes and the needs of the most vulnerable
groups.
