The Poverty Alleviation Fund was launched as a community-driven development instrument for addressing the interrelated problems of rural poverty and social exclusion. In April 2004, the International Development Association (IDA) provided a grant of US$ million to finance the Poverty Alleviation Fund Project- Phase I (PAF-I). The project was designed as a pilot, operating in six districts that were chosen on the basis of their human development index, their geographic location and whether they were conflict-affected areas. Once the initial organizational phase of the PAF was complete, the implementation pace accelerated rapidly in response to greater than anticipated- and constantly growing- demands from rural communities. Following the peace process and the agreements reached among the political parties, there was a new commitment to address inequality and poverty in the country.
