Information sharing and knowledge management tools have improved, and the world is more globalized and interconnected. Global challenges include feeding a still-growing world population that is simultaneously adapting to and minimizing the degree of climate change, lifting billions of people out of poverty, and empowering marginalized and disenfranchised rural people.

The challenges and opportunities of rural development have accentuated since 2002, and are more critical than ever. NWP is a framework that allowed practitioners, planners and policy-makers in a number of places to see the various interlinked dimensions of rural development, and develop and implement programs that were more successful and sustainable. In 2002, Nature, Wealth, and Power: Emerging Best Practice for Revitalizing Rural Africa (NWP1) was published as a flexible framework for improving rural development through better integration of biophysical, economic, and governance dimensions, raising the profile of both economic and power issues as key to poverty reduction and sustainable natural resource management in rural areas.
