    Nicaragua

    The authors use data from Nicaragua to
    examine the impact of the award of registered and
    nonregistered title on land values and on investments
    attached to land. They find that receipt of registered title
    increases land values by 30 percent and greatly increases
    the propensity to invest, bringing investment closer to the
    optimum. Consistent with descriptive statistics indicating
    great demand for regularization of land rights, especially

    América Latina y el Caribe

    This paper represents an important
    dimension in filling Latin America history's gaps
    through the lens of land rights. The continent was populated
    by many nations, functioned in harmony with nature, had a
    variety of cultures and languages, and, developed many
    different socio-economic systems (nationally and locally).
    These nations were sovereign and recognized from Alaska to
    Patagonia. Indeed, among all of them, we know they had very

    This paper takes a critical view of the
    challenges that lie ahead for land?related development
    projects in Central America. Drawing upon several sources of
    information and types of analysis, including literature
    reviews, field visits and rapid participatory assessments,
    along with decades of professional experience, the authors
    examine land-related development policies and projects over
    the past two decades in Central America (although monitoring

    América Latina y el Caribe

    The Latin America and Caribbean region
    has had impressive achievements in the past decade, such as
    cutting extreme poverty by half and adding more than 50
    million people to the middle class. Beyond the positive
    external conditions, it was the concerted efforts and
    dedication of the region's countries to improve the
    lives of their citizens that enabled these and many other
    remarkable results. The World Bank is proud to be a part of

    Nicaragua

    Agriculture remains fundamental for
    Nicaragua from both a macroeconomic and social view. It is
    the largest sector of the Nicaraguan economy, and it remains
    the single biggest employer with around 30 percent of the
    labor force and including processed foods, like meat and
    sugar, agriculture accounts for around 40 percent of total
    exports value. Nicaragua appears to be gradually losing
    competitive edge of some of its key agricultural exports

    Bolivia

    This paper explores the reduction of
    food insecurity in Bolivia, adopting a supply side approach
    that analyzes the role of agricultural spending on
    vulnerability. Vulnerability to food insecurity is captured
    by a municipal level composite -- developed locally within
    the framework of World Food Program food security analysis
    -- that combines welfare outcomes, weather conditions and
    agricultural potential for all 327 municipalities in 2003,

    Costa Rica

    This paper discusses the social impacts
    of Costa Rica's Payments for Environmental Services
    (PSA) program and their effect on rural poverty. Although
    the analysis is hampered by significant information gaps, we
    believe that the PSA Program has probably managed to have an
    impact on the poor. This impact is almost certainly positive
    on the poor who were able to participate, but is difficult
    to quantify. However, except for very few cases, it seems

    Nicaragua

    Nicaragua is a small, open economy that
    is vulnerable to external and natural shocks. With an
    estimated Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of US$1000
    in 2006, and a total population of 5.2 million, it is one of
    the poorest countries in Latin America. Forty six percent of
    the population lived below the poverty line in 2005 (while
    15 percent lived in extreme poverty), and the incidence of
    poverty is more than twice as high in rural areas (68

    Indigenous peoples make up less than 5
    percent of the world's population, yet comprise 15
    percent of the world's poor. The indigenous population
    of Latin America is estimated at 28 million. Despite
    significant changes in poverty overall, the proportion of
    indigenous peoples in the region living in poverty - at
    almost 80 percent - did not change much from the early 1990s
    to the early 2000s. Economic Opportunities for Indigenous

    Despite significant changes in poverty
    overall in Latin America, the proportion of indigenous
    peoples living in poverty did not change much from the early
    1990s to the present. While earlier work focused on human
    development, much less has been done on the distribution and
    returns to income-generating assets and the effect these
    have on income generation strategies. The authors show that
    low income and low assets are mutually reinforcing. For
