Social networks and rural non-farm enterprise development and implication for poverty reduction among rural households in Zimbabwe

Abstract

Zuwarimwe J, Kirsten J

Poverty remains a greatest challenge for the rural households of the sub-Saharan Africa and a number of interventions are proposed to alleviate poverty. Rural non-farm enterprises are seen as a possible partner to farm enterprises to reduce poverty as there are robust production linkages between the two.
