In the light of the importance of the rural sector for poverty reduction , we in IFAD are joining with our partner United Nations agencies in Rome , FAO , WFP and a number of our member states , to ensure that the Mexico Conference gives the attention and priority to rural development that is needed . In our quest for poverty alleviation we have found in IFAD a ready and daring partner . To address these challenges , the government has prepared a Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper ( PRSP ) that presents a comprehensive and coherent strategy for poverty reduction in Yemen for the period 2003-2005 . Moreover , the other dimensions of work examined in the Social Summit , notably rights at work and social protection , were equally critical components of a strategy for poverty reduction . International trade can be a force for poverty reduction by overcoming scarcity , and by creating livelihoods and employment opportunities , but this is not an automatic process . A currency transactions tax ( often called the Tobin tax ) to reduce speculative currency flows and raise money for poverty alleviation was also warranted .
