The World Bank's Board of Directors approved an IDA grant in the amount of US$ 9million for the Agricultural Investments and Services Project in the Kyrgyz Republic. With food prices at an all time high around the world, the new project will help to reduce rural poverty in the country by increasing productivity and sustainable pasture management. Almost three quarters of the poor and extreme poor live in rural areas, where the prevalence of poverty is higher than in urban areas: 51 percent of the rural population compared to 30 percent of the urban population.
