In preparing an investment project, development strategies and project components are defined and revisited during project formulation through a consultative process that often includes Socio-economic and Production Systems Studies. These studies are conducted to develop an appreciation of the situation in which the intended beneficiaries live, and their perceptions of their problems, needs and priorities. The present study was carried out to support preparation of a poverty alleviation project in Egypt, targeted to help rural villages in the Sohag Governorate reduce poverty by implementing participatory micro-projects under the umbrella of the National Programme for Integrated Rural Development. The project aimed to improve the income and quality of life in rural communities and to improve equitable access to credit for the rural poor, unemployed youth and women. In addition, the project sought to enhance local capacity to programme, appraise, co-finance, implement and manage rural infrastructure projects and services.
